Minor without driving licence steals car, totals it in mishap

The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court ruled that a guardian must pay Dhs74,081 to an individual in a case involving the guardian's minor son stealing a car, driving it, and causing an accident resulting in the car's damage.

The court also ordered the guardian to pay the fees and expenses of the lawsuit.

The court heard that a minor without a driving licence stole a car without the owner’s permission. Due to his recklessness and lack of consideration for road conditions and traffic instructions, as well as his failure to respect applicable laws, he caused an accident that resulted in damage to the car.

This resulted in irreparable damage, rendering the car unfit for use.
