A driver has been detained for speeding over 230 km/hr on Dubai highways despite trying to evade the authorities by removing the car's number plate.
Dubai Police has impounded the Nissan Patrol and imposed a release fine of AED 50,000.
The driver has been penalised for endangering his life and those of other road users.
A video released by Dubai Police shows the reckless driver speeding across several key roads in the city.
A senior official explained that the Dubai Police's advanced AI-powered security system successfully tracked the car, identified the driver and summoned him.
Tampering with number plates is a serious traffic offence in the UAE and will lead to judicial accountability.
