Dubai driver caught speeding over 230k/hr without number plate

A driver has been detained for speeding over 230 km/hr on Dubai highways despite trying to evade the authorities by removing the car's number plate.

Dubai Police has impounded the Nissan Patrol and imposed a release fine of AED 50,000. 

The driver has been penalised for endangering his life and those of other road users.

A video released by Dubai Police shows the reckless driver speeding across several key roads in the city. 

A senior official explained that the Dubai Police's advanced AI-powered security system successfully tracked the car, identified the driver and summoned him. 

Tampering with number plates is a serious traffic offence in the UAE and will lead to judicial accountability.
