Sharjah: A young man was arrested for reckless driving and dangerous road stunts on Al Shuwaib Road in the Central Region of Sharjah on Tuesday, police said.
The young man, identified as a Gulf national in his 20s, was arrested and his vehicle was impounded, said a senior police official.
Colonel Ahmad Bin Darwish, director of Sharjah's Central Region Police, said the driver had covered the plate numbers — both front and back — of his car to avoid being detected by the police devices.
He was driving at a high speed and in a reckless manner, putting his life in danger as well as other road users.
