A Mammoth Number Of Motorists Have Been Ticketed For Jumping Red Lights
The Dubai Police have issued a whopping 19,270 tickets to motorists for running red lights in the first seven months of 2017.
The police issued a statement urging motorists to exercise caution at intersections, and reconsider accelerating through yellow lights for safety reasons.
The number of offences has been reduced in comparison to the same period last year, which found 29,328 tickets issued, however the numbers are still too high according to authorities.
Director of the Traffic Department of Dubai Police, Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazroui said it’s very dangerous and motorists should be reducing – not increasing their speed.
