Dubai Police have swiftly responded to a driver performing dangerous stunts and driving recklessly in the Al Marmoom area during rainfall.

This incident occurred despite ongoing public warnings to exercise caution and follow traffic laws, especially during adverse weather.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Acting Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Operations Affairs at Dubai Police, explained that patrol teams observed the driver engaging in hazardous behaviours, including stunt driving and drifting, which posed significant risks to public safety.

The vehicle was impounded and fines were issued in accordance with Federal Traffic and Road Laws. Under Decree No. 30 of 2023, the driver will need to pay AED 50,000 to release the vehicle and settle any outstanding fines.

Al Mazrouei emphasized Dubai Police's zero-tolerance approach to reckless driving, particularly actions that endanger lives and disrupt road safety.

He warned that offenders face serious penalties, including vehicle confiscation, legal summons and potential prosecution.
