"Further to what has been circulating on social media, where a taxi driver of one of franchise companies in Dubai, has intentionally reversed to hit the vehicle behind, the RTA stresses that this is a sheer individual conduct on the part of the cab driver," the RTA said in a statement sent to Khaleej Times on Thursday.
"The RTA shuns this sort of attitude and other unruly conducts unfitting with the profile of the RTA in particular and Dubai emirate in general," the RTA underlined.
The RTA said that it has taken the appropriate action towards this incident by directing the concerned company to terminate the services of the driver and withdraw his permit as a taxi driver in the emirate.
The RTA stressed that "the UAE community is governed by rules and legislations that address any outlawed behaviours in breach of the values and ethical practices prevailing in the country".
"Therefore, the RTA regrets this uncivilized behaviour and calls on all parties to comply with the civilised values," it added.
The one-minute-and-15-second video, uploaded on YouTube by a certain Shabir Ahmed on July 24, shows an unidentified taxi driver getting out of his vehicle in the middle of a busy street and arguing with another driver.
After a heated argument and loud shouting, the driver returns to his taxi but instead of moving ahead, he slams the brakes several times and intentionally reverses his cab to hit the car behind.
The incident happened in broad daylight on July 20 on Al Mutaina Street.
