DUBAI – The Dubai police have summoned a group of women motorcyclists who were spotted performing dangerous stunts on various roads of the city.
The police shared the development on social media platform X where they also posted the video of the girls who can be seen recklessly riding motorbikes on roads.
Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, confirmed that the Dubai Traffic Police’s patrol summoned a group of girls after a video went viral on social media showed their involvement in reckless motorcycle riding and performing dangerous stunts on the streets of the emirate.
He added, “These dangerous actions included riding without holding the handlebars, standing on the motorcycle, and riding on one wheel, posing a serious threat to their safety and the safety of other road users. Moreover, one of the motorcyclists concealed the number plate of the motorcycle, believing that this action would help her evade legal consequences.”
