Dubai Police apprehended a motorist after he engaged in reckless and dangerous driving, sudden swerving at high speed, and weaving between vehicles.

The driver, identified by authorities as an Asian, also overtook from the road shoulder, endangering public safety.

Dubai Police took legal action against the driver, including impounding the vehicle and enforcing the provisions of Local Decree No. (30) of 2023, which mandates a fine of Dh50,000 to release an impounded vehicle involved in such offences.

A top official at Dubai Police said such behaviours "rank among the most serious traffic violations" as they do not give other drivers enough time to react or avoid a collision, particularly on highways.

In such high-speed roads, any sudden swerve or loss of control may cause the vehicle to overturn or lead to severe collisions resulting in fatalities and serious injuries, explained Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police.
