UAE driving licence eye test
I logged on the the Dubai police vehicle site to pay a fine and apparently my eye sight test is only valid for three years do has expired, even though the licence itself is valid for 10 years.
What do I do? (If anything...never heard of anyone else doing this)

My license broke in half and I went to get a new one, it was 6 years old at the time and they never told me I had to do a new eyetest.
I'll ask next time I go there (although thinking about the people that work there I'd be surprised to get some sort of coherent answer out of them).

never heard anything like that before...I 'do' licenses with my clients all the time and no one has ever mentioned it. Maybe they mean that when you go for your license the eye test paper can't be more than 3 years old...no idea.

Would be interested to hear what they say, though I wouldn't be surprised if they had no idea

Eye test?
What new hell is this? I never had an eye test! Just turned up to Infinity in Marina Mall with all the docs in triplicate, Arabic and moonspeak, flirted mildly with the guy, got my pic taken and there was my licence inside ten minutes.
The husband did the same in January.
And from the state of the driving in Abu Dhabi, not many other people have taken an eye test either.

Go to RTA in Union Coop Al Wasl. it's not really crowded office, and the eye test center is just on the ground floor (office is in the 1st floor).
It will cost you something like 50 aed for the test

Re: UAE driving licence eye test
never knew there was an eyetest. When I got my license the burd asked if I wore glasses, I said yes, so there is a mark on the back of my license indicating I wear glasses. Dunno if I need to change that after getting them fixed?
