Four women were among the worst 10 drivers in Dubai while one Emirati topped the list with 218 fines worth more than Dh134,000. The 10 piled up offences worth more than Dh one million.
One Indian woman entered the list of 10 for the first time and Dubai’s traffic police chief said he was surprised by this development.
Police data on road offences in the emirate over the past few months showed the 10 top offenders included eight Emiratis– five men and three woman– as well as one Egyptian and an Indian woman.
“Until the end of April this year, this Emirati woman emerged as the top offender as she has piled up 218 fines worth Dh134,040, mostly speeding,” Dubai’s traffic police chief Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zafin said.
Quoted by the Arabic language daily Emirat Alyoum, he said police saw a noticeable change in positions over the past period as an Egyptian driver was ranked second, with 187 offences worth around Dh131,000.
Zafin said offenders were ranked according to the total value not number of fines, adding that an Emirati driver recorded 206 offences with a value of Dh125,700.
