The road is not a place for dangerous experiments or showing off, authorities added. After teams detected the viral video, the vehicle was identified, and the driver was apprehended.

Necessary legal measures were taken against him in accordance with applicable traffic laws and regulations.

Some supercars may emit flames from the exhaust, known as afterfire. This occurs because left-over fuel which is not yet burnt may get sent into the exhaust. As the fuel meets the hot surface and exits the vehicle, it ignites and shoots flames.

However, some motorists may modify the vehicle to create these flames or pops on purpose. These include cutting off fuel delivery only at certain times, or certain systems which delay the ignition, or dump excess fuel in the exhaust. Such modifications are illegal in UAE.
