Dubai’s police arrested a local driver and confiscated his licence after giving him 120 black points for driving recklessly, removing his car plates, tinting its glass and fleeing the cops when they tried to stop him.

The unnamed man was driving in a dangerous way through Owair when he was spotted by a police patrol, which chased the car and tried to stop it.

The police patrol also noticed that the driver could not be seen as the glass was tinted black while there were no number plates on the vehicle.

“He was driving in a way that threatened the life of road users…when the police tried to stop him, he fled,” said Colonel Saif Al Mazroui, director of Dubai’s traffic police.

“But our men later succeeded in tracking the car and arresting the driver…he was given 120 black points for several serious offences including reckless and dangerous driving, modifying the car engine, tinting the glass, fleeing the police and removing the plates,” he told the Dubai-based Arabic language daily .
