Six vehicles that sped through two flooded valleys have been seized in Ras Al Khaimah. A video of the dangerous act went viral on social media. The vehicle owners now face thousands of dirhams in fines, with their 4WDs remaining confiscated for nearly half a year.
Several areas in the UAE were flooded after heavy rains pounded the emirates over the weekend. According to the RAK Police, the drivers face a Dh2,000 fine, 60-day vehicle impoundment and 23 black points. This penalty is as per a federal law that penalises entering a flooded valley — regardless of their level of danger.
