a virgin till today
 
Well lost my driving virginity in Dubai today, picked up hire car from emirates towers and got back in 1 piece in rush hr (no wasn't in it all day) anyway hired a car to go and look at used cars, only want to spend around 30k at mo so know am not going to get much but is there an age limit on cars before they cannot be registered and how do you go about registering one.
thanks all

The cut off date is 12 years,if I'm not mistaken...After that, I think they're going to introduce a yearly reg fee of AED5,000...

probably cars that aren't yet registerred will be turned away...Cars that are already registered, running and in good condition will still serve the general populace...

Try the local insurance riders,or alternatively,contact an insurance broker; they know the ins and outs of the insurance world...
