In a video posted on its social media channels, Abu Dhabi Police on Monday noted that the negative behaviour of some vehicle drivers — especially young drivers — which lead to noise, disturbance and reckless driving, would invite consequences.

The Traffic and Patrols Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police confirmed that noisy vehicles cause panic and anxiety among other drivers, road users, and residents of neighbourhoods — especially for children and the elderly.

The authority urged the public to report any vehicle that produces such annoying noises in residential neighbourhoods by calling 999 at the Command and Control Centre and stressed that it will not tolerate drivers who cause such disturbances.

According to Article 20 of the Law Traffic, driving a vehicle that causes noise will invite a fine of Dh2,000 and 12 traffic points, the authority reminded.
