Dubai Police fines driver AED10,000 after dangerous stunts go viral

Dubai Police

Dubai Police have seized a super car and fined its driver AED10,000 after videos of his dangerous stunts across various locations in the city went viral on social media.

Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic, said traffic patrols tracked down the car and seized it.

The driver has been referred to the higher authorities for legal action.

The violations included speeding, illegally modifying the car to cause loud sounds, disturbing residents and endangering own life and other road users.

"The road is not a stage for stunts or risky experiments," Brigadier bin Suwaidan emphasised. "Such behaviours are not only a nuisance but are extremely dangerous. Illegal modifications and reckless driving can lead to severe accidents, distract other road users, and cause a loss of vehicle control."

He highlighted that the Dubai Police uses start-of-the-art tech to monitor traffic offenders, whether online or on the road, and urged residents to report violations as soon as they spot one using the force's official channels.

The officer also urged motorists to follow traffic laws to maintain public safety and order.
