Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

The Traffic and Patrols Department at Sharjah Police arrested a 20-year-old Arab motorcyclist after a video clip posted on social media showed him recklessly riding his motorcycle on a public road in the emirate, violating traffic safety regulations and endangering his life and the lives of other road users. Legal action was taken against the biker.

Colonel Mohammed Alai Al Naqbi, director of the department, stated that the biker committed multiple violations including riding a bike in a manner that jeopardised his life and the lives, safety and security of others, riding a bike without a number plate, jumping a red light and making unlicensed changes to the bike’s engine or chassis.

Al Naqbi pointed out that Sharjah Police were continuing to exert tireless efforts to enhance traffic safety on roads by intensifying their awareness campaigns and activating field monitoring for all segments of society to abide by traffic laws.

He praised the role played by the public in supporting the traffic system through their co-operation and reporting of dangerous road behaviours or practices to 901, thereby contributing to enhancing the quality of life and ensuring community security in the emirate.
