In general an expat cannot own commercial pick up vehicles; except in special circumstances, or if owning a business.聽 To ride a bike, you need to obtain the bike driver license.聽 Yes there is a test.

No dear u dont need to change saudi plates. U can drive the car with them. Just u will need visa to visit uae and via road u can enter uae via saudi-uae border.

Well petrol here is 1.72 per litre. So u can guess it according to ur travelling distance. And about insurance , for mustang i think so it would cost u around 3000 Aed for fill insurance.
