Dubai Police have apprehended a young man who was seen in a video circulating on social media performing reckless stunts by driving his vehicle on two wheels in the Nad Al Sheba area thus putting his own life and the lives of other road users at serious risks.
Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Deputy Director of the General Department of Traffic, explained that the motorist was immediately identified and summoned, where he admitted to performing stunt-like manoeuvres, such as driving the car on two wheels while navigating a roundabout and drifting, which posed a severe threat to his own safety as well as the safety of other road users.
Brig. Juma bin Suwaidan further added that Dubai Police traffic patrols seized the vehicle involved in the dangerous stunts and imposed a fee of AED 50,000 against impoundment release per Decree 30 of 2023 concerning vehicle impoundment.
bin Suwaidan warned all motorists against reckless and hazardous behaviour on the roads and explained that the law imposes penalties on drivers whose actions endanger their own lives, the lives of others, their safety or security, or damage to the road infrastructure.
He also emphasised that the police take a firm stance against such irresponsible drivers, stressing that they will not tolerate any violations, as their priority is ensuring the safety of all road users. He noted that a large number of those who engage in such reckless conduct have been involved in serious accidents, resulting in fatalities or severe injuries.
bin Suwaidan urged community members to report any concerning driving behaviours through the “Police Eye” service, the “We are All Police” service, or by calling 901.
