KUWAIT CITY, Dec 16: Reckless driving on the highways has increased lately due to absence of patrolling officers. Bloggers circulated a video clip on social media in which a pickup driver can be seen driving carelessly on King Fahad Expressway in a manner dangerous to not only his life but also the lives of other road users. No traffic officers were present to stop the driver. Other bloggers circulated a video clip in which a pickup driver was driving his vehicle carelessly in front of a patrol vehicle but the patrol officer did nothing other than watch the reckless driver. Reckless drivers challenge securitymen by filming their stunts, uploading them to their accounts on social media and boasting about their actions.

Can’t fool police: A Kuwaiti man wanted for drug-related offense fell victim to his own trick after switching off his car lights at night to evade the police, and he was busted. A security source said the citizen aroused suspicion of security operatives on a round of Fahaheel area when they sighted his car moving without lights. The suspect sped off when he was ordered to pull over for checking, but the officers chased and forced him to stop. Verification of his identity revealed his status as a wanted drug addict, so the officers went ahead and conducted a search in the car and found illicit drugs. He was referred to the concerned authority with the contraband.
