The law is clear when it comes to reckless driving in Dubai. For his risky moves on Sheikh Zayed Road, the tourist received a hefty AED 2,000 fine, racked up 23 black points on his record, and saw the rented BMW M4 impounded for 60 days.

Dubai Police reminded everyone that showing off on the roads isn’t just dangerous—it’s illegal. The city’s strict rules are there to keep both residents and visitors safe, so next time you feel the urge to drift, maybe stick to the video games instead!
