    Default Motor Company using Roads as Forecourt extension

    I recently came across this fantastic act which I believe will be the answer to all my car parking nightmare traumas.

    I have a 2nd hand motor company opposite my house who use the public roads as a forecourt extension and the residents don't get a look in.

    Whilst the act states that they are not allowed to have two or more cars for sale on the public highway within 500sq m, they are clever and leave the Price Tag" out of the window leaving the slightest trace to their company only by the sticker in the rear window of the company name.

    My argument here, and I would appreciate your thoughts :

    As the cars actually ARE listed for sale on the company's website, isn't that advertising them for sale wherever they are at the time of the customer reading the online article?
    IE, if the Punto was parked on the road and I read the article on the company's website, aren't they advertising the car on the public highway?

    Have you tried contacting Trading Standards? AFAIL they are the ones responsible for enforcement under this law.

    I would agree with you that the Act states that a vehicle being advertised. It makes no mention of where the advertisment is placed. Besides if they have photos they will usally include the VRM which allows identification of the vehicle. (I've used this to identify similiar vehicles on a dealer forecourt).
