Dubai Police nab motorist, seize vehicle for allowing child to sit on lap and steer car

Published

Visitors and residents in Dubai are being reminded of the UAE’s strict road safety laws after a motorist was caught on camera endangering his child’s life by allowing the child to sit on his lap while driving. 

Dubai Police’s advanced smart detection systems identified the violation, highlighting the city’s commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards on its roads.

According to Federal Traffic Law, front-seat passengers must be at least 145 cm tall and over the age of 10, a rule designed to protect young children from serious injuries in the event of an accident. The incident was recorded by Dubai Police’s technical monitoring devices, and authorities swiftly took action by summoning the driver and confiscating the vehicle.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, emphasized the dangers of allowing children to sit in the front seat, citing risks of severe injuries or even fatalities in crashes. “Airbags deploy with great force, which can be extremely dangerous for children seated improperly. Seatbelts in the front are also designed for adults, increasing the risk of head, chest, or neck injuries for younger passengers,” he warned.

Dubai Police’s smart monitoring systems continue to enhance road safety by detecting and recording high-risk behaviour, ensuring swift intervention. Authorities also urge residents and visitors to report reckless driving via the “Police Eye” feature on the Dubai Police app or the “We Are All Police” hotline at 901.
