The authority has now put up a short video showing some of the offenders' violations. Watch the video below:
"The offenders will face stringent penalties under Decree 30 concerning vehicle impound, with fines reaching up to Dh50,000 for vehicle release," said Maj-Gen Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, director of the General Department of Traffic at the Dubai Police.
Most violations were recorded in Al Ruwayyah, Jumeirah, and other residential areas.
Some drivers caused disturbances at desert camps — blasting music from their car stereos and doing reckless stunts. Others obstructed traffic, while some were caught with illegally modified vehicles and unlicensed engine changes, Maj-Gen Al Mazrouei said.
Other offences included:
- Overloading vehicles
- Sticking heads out of windows and sunroofs
- Using party spray
- Obscuring licence plates.
- Changing vehicle colour
- Tinting or colouring front windows
Al Mazrouei appealed to parents to monitor their youths' driving behaviours. Parental supervision, he said, is key to encouraging positive behaviours and reducing serious traffic accidents, fatalities, and severe injuries on the roads.
