'Traffic': Reckless drivers arrested, referred to Central Prison, and their vehicles impounded

The General Directorate of Traffic has apprehended suspects involved in reckless and careless driving in two separate incidents, as part of its efforts to combat traffic behaviors that endanger road users and to protect lives and property.

In a statement, the Directorate said the first suspect was caught after a video was recorded showing him driving a vehicle without license plates in a reckless manner. Through investigation and inquiry, the Security Surveillance Department obtained information indicating that he had been driving the vehicle in the early morning hours in the Al-Wafra Agricultural Area. The vehicle was tracked and followed until it reached the Um Al-Hayman area, where the driver was apprehended. It was found that the vehicle had no registration data, and the suspect confessed to engaging in reckless and careless driving.

Regarding the second incident, the Operations Room received a report of reckless and careless driving in the Al-Wafra Agricultural Area. Patrol units responded to the scene, where the vehicle was seized, while its driver fled before being later apprehended in coordination with the Security Surveillance Department.

Legal measures were taken against both suspects, who were referred to the Central Prison. Both vehicles were impounded and confiscated in favor of the Ministry of Interior, in accordance with Article 33 bis of the Traffic Law.

The General Directorate of Traffic warned that reckless and careless driving will not go unpunished, emphasizing that escape attempts will not prevent the pursuit and apprehension of violators. It reiterated its zero-tolerance stance toward anyone who endangers lives and property, affirming that strict legal action will be taken against such offenders.
