Dubai Police Seize Supercar After Viral Stunt Video, Driver Fined AED 10,000
Dubai, UAE: Dubai Police have seized a luxury supercar and imposed a AED 10,000 fine on its driver after a viral video showed the vehicle being driven recklessly on public roads, authorities confirmed.
The video, widely shared on social media platforms, captured the supercar performing dangerous stunts, including excessive speeding and sudden maneuvers that posed a serious threat to other motorists. Following swift action by traffic patrol units, Dubai Police identified the vehicle and took immediate legal measures.
Strict Action Against Reckless Driving
Dubai Police stated that such behavior is a clear violation of UAE traffic laws, which are designed to ensure the safety of all road users. The vehicle was confiscated under laws that allow authorities to seize cars involved in reckless driving, illegal racing, or public endangerment.
Officials emphasized that social media fame will not excuse traffic violations, warning motorists that filming or sharing dangerous driving acts only strengthens the evidence against offenders.
Zero Tolerance for Road Stunts
A senior traffic official reiterated that Dubai follows a zero-tolerance policy toward stunt driving, adding that luxury or high-performance vehicles are subject to the same rules as any other car on the road.
“Public roads are not racetracks. Any driver who puts lives at risk will face strict penalties, including fines, black points, and vehicle confiscation,” the official said.
Public Safety Comes First
Dubai Police also urged residents and tourists to report reckless driving through official channels, helping authorities maintain the city’s strong road-safety record. The force regularly monitors online platforms to track violations that may not be immediately reported on the road.
A Clear Message to Motorists
The incident serves as a strong reminder that Dubai’s traffic laws are rigorously enforced, regardless of the vehicle’s value or the driver’s intent. Authorities have repeatedly stressed that responsible driving is essential to protecting lives and preserving Dubai’s reputation as one of the safest cities in the world.
Dubai Police concluded by encouraging drivers to enjoy high-performance vehicles responsibly and only within approved racing tracks or designated venues.
