Video: Ahmadi Traffic Police Seize Vehicle with Speedometer Fixed Over 100 km/h

Ahmadi traffic police successfully handled a report yesterday of a cruise control malfunction in a four-wheel-drive vehicle traveling at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour on King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Road. The incident required a rapid response to secure the road and manage the vehicle before a potentially disastrous outcome.

According to a video clip published by the General Directorate of Traffic on its Instagram account, the incident began when the Ministry of Interior’s operations center received a report of the malfunction. Patrol units immediately mobilized to address the situation in a race against time. Some units worked to clear the road ahead of the vehicle and divert other road users from its path, while other units engaged directly with the vehicle.

The coordinated traffic response led to full control of the situation and a safe resolution, thanks to the efforts of traffic officers who secured the route and prevented any danger to the vehicle’s driver or other road users. The incident highlighted the rapid response of patrol units and their effective field coordination, particularly given that a vehicle traveling at over 100 kilometers per hour with a failed cruise control system required careful handling and route security until the situation was fully resolved.
