Dubai Police have taken legal action against a number of motorcycle riders after they were caught performing dangerous stunts and violating traffic laws on roads across the emirate.

The riders were recorded performing stunts on one wheel and weaving between vehicles - behaviour that puts lives at risk and poses a serious threat to road safety.

Brigadier Jumaa Salem bin Suwaidan, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, said traffic patrols detected multiple serious violations, including reckless riding and failure to follow traffic regulations.

He emphasised that such actions endanger both riders and other road users and can result in serious accidents.

The motorcycles involved have been impounded, and legal action has been taken against the offenders in line with traffic laws.

Brigadier bin Suwaidan urged riders to follow safe driving practices and avoid any form of dangerous behaviour on public roads.

He also called on parents to play a more active role in monitoring their children and raising awareness about the dangers of reckless riding, stressing the importance of ensuring compliance with traffic laws to prevent serious injuries or fatalities.

Dubai Police further encouraged riders to use designated areas and avoid imitating risky behaviours seen on social media.
