Col Al Nuaimi said that the increase in the violations was detected due to the intensified inspections and patrols, more radars on all highways and roads to ensure safety and security.
He added that the police impounded 6,469 vehicles in 2016 and 236 vehicles in 2015. "The cars were impounded for jumping red lights, reckless driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcoholic."
Col Al Nuaimi said that the Ajman Police has recently decreased the speed limit for some arterial roads from 100kmph to 80kmph to implement the strategy of the Ministry of Interior that aimed at decreasing the number of road accidents.
'Speeding is one of the serious violations that cause cars to deviate and crash into other cars causing death and serious injuries," he said.
