News DeskDubai, UAE – In a stern crackdown on reckless driving and chaotic behavior, Dubai Police have confiscated 24 cars and motorcycles in Al Ruwayyah. The action was taken after drivers and riders were found engaged in dangerous stunts and causing chaos, despite repeated warnings from the authorities.
Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, expressed concern over the persistence of unawareness among a segment of motorists who continued to flout traffic laws, particularly during rainfall. He stressed the imperative need for compliance with traffic regulations to ensure road safety.
A total of 19 cars and five motorcycles were impounded under Decree No. (30) of 2023, which governs traffic valuations and vehicle impoundment. This decree imposes a hefty fine of Dh50,000 for the release of an impounded vehicle. Additionally, Dubai Police traffic patrols issued 35 traffic fines against motorists who were caught engaging in stunts during the rainy conditions.
Major General Al Mazroui revealed that the impounded vehicles had committed various violations that warranted their seizure. These violations included engaging in dangerous stunts, reckless driving that posed a threat to public safety, causing excessive noise, and protruding one’s head from a moving vehicle.
Emphasizing the importance of responsible driving, Major General Al Mazroui issued a stern warning against reckless and rash behavior on the roads. He highlighted that the law strictly penalizes driving practices that endanger the lives, safety, and security of both drivers and other road users. Moreover, driving in a manner that poses a risk to public or private infrastructure is also subject to severe consequences.
The actions taken by Dubai Police serve as a reminder of the commitment to maintaining road safety and order in the emirate, with authorities showing zero tolerance towards dangerous and disruptive behavior. The message is clear: compliance with traffic laws and regulations is not only a legal obligation but a critical factor in ensuring the well-being of all road users.
