Maj-Gen Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, said, "24 traffic fines were issued against the violators; and the fine for releasing an impounded vehicle can reach up to Dh10,000 each.”
He warned drivers against equipping vehicles with technologies that increase engine speed, causing noise, disturbance, and danger to residents in residential areas.
