what is the legal age to own a vehicle?

For me it's the age that one not only knows how to drive but also how to maintain his/her car...what if emergency the car stalls because it's not maintained well plus the owner (driver) does not know how to fix know what to do then it will be a cause for traffic snarls.

^^ the age of majority is 18. the significance of this is that you can now enter/conclude a legally binding contract. owning a vehicle by acquiring it through sale or donation is a contract. the other party must likewise be 18.

drive responsibly, hijo.

the person should be 18 years of age and ready to take responsibilities. owning a car is like adding a new member in the family.

OT: How can I remove the Tcash info on my post? ... newbie here...

hmmm.. can't a child own a car thru donation? the car may be registered in the name of the parents but if the child is really the person to whom the car was donated to then the child is essentially the owner, hindi ba?

hi, Jozef!i am speaking from the viewpoint of owning a vehicle by contract, either by sale or donation. yeah...but his ownership over the thing is somehow limited by the fact that he can't just alienate or encumber the same without his parent's intervention. no person would ever transact with a minor because minority could always be his defense to defeat performance.

another aspect that we need to look into is this:in vehicle registration, it is important that the vehicle owner be of age. one of the reasons for such requirement is liability. one cannot directly impute civil liability vs. a minor, because ultimately the parents answer for him. you can't sue a minor...but the parents.

but we go back to the TS's question: what is the legal age to own a vehicle? :D

I answered that already, 18. i was just explaining further the significance of the age of majority and his capacity to enter into contracts and why it is required to have such capacity.

[jozef_10]

imho it is possible that a child can own a car. in my example, sure he can't register it in his name but he owns the car by donation not thru its registration. as far as responsibilities that goes with the ownership, of course the parents will have to step up in the meantime.

no legal age to own a car. right age to drive legally? yes he/she must be 18 years old.

^^legal age to own---speaks of capacity. capacity is important for so many reasons, one of them i can always think of is the right party to be sued in case of liability. liabilty, lots of people may be liable, but at the end of the controversy you proceed against one.

legal age to drive (legally), this is another concern. TS asks: WHAT IS THE LEGAL AGE TO OWN VEHICLE po.

the query is: LEGAL AGE TO OWN A VEHICLE, boss. in your example, what you were talking about was BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP.

^tsip that's like splitting hairs at this point :D

^tsip that's like splitting hairs at this point :D

^^di po beacause beneficial ownership(your example) is entirely different from the TS's query. one is just distinct from the other.

if we end up splitting a strand, so be it. it may be, on its face, just the same bananas; but, they may be of the different variety. distinction is important po. we just can't avoid that if we want to be precise.

here's an example, my sister's 2006 minicooper was legally owned (nakapangalan to) by my 7 y/o. nephew. btw they are based in south san francisco Ca.

[ab_initio]

^^the TS is from tagaytay.

there's that inevitable hairline distinction for some issues e...and sometimes we go as far as holding the property in trust for the benefit of another. heheheh
