Man fined Dh25,000, licence suspended for drunk driving in Dubai
An Asian man has been fined Dh25,000 and had his driving licence suspended for three months after causing a traffic accident in Dubai while under the influence of alcohol, according to court record. In a Gulf News report, the man admitted to driving in an impaired state after consuming alcohol without a permit. Prosecutors charged him with three offences: drinking alcohol without legal permission, driving under its influence, and causing damage to public property. Court documents showed that the driver lost control of his vehicle, swerved suddenly, and crashed into a metal pole on a public road, damaging both the pole and his car. The court based its verdict on a traffic accident expert's report and the defendant's confession.

Bank's marketing representative fined Dhs10,000 for repeatedly calling customers
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil and Administrative Cases Court ruled that a marketing representative be obligated to pay a man Dhs10,000 plus the incurred fees and expenses for repeated calls he made to promote and market the products of a bank. Earlier, a marketing representative at a bank was in the habit of repeatedly contacting customers to market the bank's products, contrary to all the other employees. The defendant annoyed a customer by calling him several times at different times, even at night, prompting him to file a criminal report against the representative with Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution. After the investigations were completed, the public prosecution referred the case to the Criminal Court, which ruled that the defendant be convicted. The customer, however, filed a lawsuit, in which he demanded that the representative and the bank be jointly obligated to pay him Dhs100,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms he suffered plus a 9 per cent legal interest per annum from the date of filing the lawsuit until full payment. He also requested the court to obligate them to pay fees, expenses and lawyer's fees. The plaintiff was represented by a lawyer who insisted on all the requests, while the marketing representative appeared in person and submitted a memorandum in which he requested that the lawsuit be dismissed and that the plaintiff be obligated to pay the fees, expenses, and lawyer's fees.

Dubai Police impound two supercars for performing dangerous stunts
Dubai Police traffic patrols apprehended two drivers for reckless behaviour after they appeared in videos climbing and performing stunts on the hoods of their vehicles while driving, aiming to gain fame on social media and increase views, according to Brigadier Juma Salem Bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police. Bin Suwaidan explained that such behaviour poses a serious risk to the driver and others, constituting a serious violation of traffic laws. He noted that Dubai Police impounded the vehicles and applied Decree No. 30 of 2023 regarding vehicle impoundment, which requires a fine of Dhs50,000 to release the vehicle. Bin Suwaidan emphasised that Dubai Police will not tolerate such reckless behaviour and will deal firmly with all forms of dangerous stunts and behaviours on the roads. He affirmed that posting on social media platforms is not a justification for committing traffic violations which endanger lives and public safety. Bin Suwaidan added that public roads are not arenas for stunts and that exploiting social media to promote dangerous behaviours is completely unacceptable. He called on the public to adhere to traffic rules and cooperate with security authorities by reporting any dangerous or suspicious behaviour through the "Police Eye" service or by calling the non-emergency number 901, to ensure the safety of all.
