Our retelling · details in the original publication
Dubai Police have summoned a motorcyclist caught on camera riding at 290km/h. The video showed him performing stunts like riding on one wheel and weaving through traffic dangerously. Specialist traffic patrols tracked him down after the footage emerged online, identifying the rider based on the viral clip.
The motorcycle has been impounded and the rider referred to legal authorities for further action. Brigadier Juma Salem bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic, stated that such behavior puts other road users at risk. He reinforced that the police maintain a zero-tolerance approach to reckless driving.
Releasing the bike requires paying a Dh50,000 impoundment fee. This is a heavy financial penalty on top of any other legal consequences. It serves as a clear warning to anyone thinking of breaking traffic rules or showing off on public roads in the emirate. The authorities are serious about safety.
If you own a bike or car in Dubai, stick to the speed limits and drive safely. The costs of breaking the law here are high, and enforcement is strict. Keep your stunts for the race track, not the highway, to avoid hefty fines.
