Dubai Police seized 383 for motorcycles and electric scooters as a result of negligence and non-compliance with riding rules in designated places, and other violations during the month of Ramadan.
The authorities stated that the violations came in several forms, including not adhering to the roads and paths on which riding is permitted, not wearing a helmet or a reflective vest, not installing a bright reflective white light at the front of the bike, and not equipping bicycles with working brakes.
This came in a press statement in which Major General Abdullah Ali Al Ghaithi, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Operations Affairs, affirmed Dubai Police’s keenness to spread awareness and traffic culture among road users with the aim of reducing wrong behaviour, in addition to reducing traffic accidents and human losses on the roads.
