Video: Dubai cabbie drives with broken door in boot

Dubai - The clip shows the driver alone in the car, protected only by a seat belt.

The Roads and Transport Authority has said it will take strict action against the driver and the taxi company after a cabbie was found driving without a door on a busy Dubai road.

Videos doing the rounds on social media show the cabbie carrying the driver's side door of the car in the boot.

The door is too large to fit into the boot, and as a result the boot-door has been kept open, and part of the unhinged door is dangerously sticking out.

The clip shows the driver alone in the car, protected only by a seat belt.

The video drew a lot of criticism from readers online, who demanded that the driver should have waited for an emergency pick-up vehicle. They also demanded that the driver who filmed the video should be punished for using a mobile phone while driving.
