Q: I have a valid UAE driving license, but I am no longer a resident of the UAE. Can I drive my friend's car while visiting the country, or I am permitted to drive rental cars only as I am not a resident?

Q: Carsharing in the UAE + insurance.Our company is setting up a car sharing platform to be launched in Dubai. The concept will make the owners money and enable the hirers to get cheap rental rates.We have learned that it is illegal for private individuals to make money on their car unless they register it as a taxi or similar in RTA. We cannot find the actual law anywhere, and we are wondering why it is illegal?Is there a way to circumvent this issue? For instance by having the owners register their car on our site in a way that would accommodate the RTA requirement? The fines are big for individuals and we don't want any of the customers being fined.In regards to the company, we are also looking for a way to not get fined for facilitating this service. How would we make sure of this? And what would be the insurance requirements in this case?Many thanks in advance!

Q: I have a problem with a driver who took my car whilst I was out of the country and imposed many fines and black points and caused an accident. He also stole money from my maid that we had left for her whilst we were out of the country. Originally, he admitted to the crimes and went to the traffic department with my husband and said to transfer the points - but they could not due to his license expiry. He has now renewed his license but refused to take responsibility and says he can't afford to pay. We now can not re-register the car and he is refusing to take the black points and pay the fines. We have been advised by the police and Dubai Courts to open a civil case against him. He has 8 black points on his license, and he has now impounded my car with 23 black points. The fines amount to AED 11200 and stole a further AED 2150. Can you please advise me of the process and the cost I would incur if I was to open a civil case against him?
