Muscat: Two young Omani nationals have each been sentenced to two months in jail and asked to pay a fine of 600 Omani riyals for "dangerous driving".
According to a report in government-run Arabic daily Oman, the primary court in Shinas, 250km north of Muscat, found the two youngsters guilty of rash driving that put lives of others at risk.
The paper quoted the public prosecution as saying the car had no insurance cover or even proper brakes.
The licence of one of the youngsters, who was showing off a trick when the vehicle skidded off the road, has been cancelled.
