Reckless driving was fun… until the crusher got involved

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 12: The General Traffic Department, represented by the Security Control Department, has apprehended two drivers and a motorcyclist in three separate reckless driving incidents that endangered their lives and the safety of other road users.

The Ministry of Interior said the action is part of its ongoing efforts to enhance traffic safety and crack down on dangerous driving.

In the first case, authorities acted after receiving a video clip showing a driver allegedly driving recklessly in the Al-Abdali area. Investigations led to the identification and arrest of the driver, who reportedly confessed during questioning to the violations attributed to him.

In the second incident, another driver was apprehended after authorities detected a video showing alleged reckless driving. The vehicle was identified and later found parked in the Jahra Industrial Area.

In the third incident, a Security Control patrol conducting field duties in the Jaber Al-Ahmad area spotted a motorcyclist allegedly driving recklessly on the roads. When ordered to stop, the motorcyclist allegedly attempted to flee and collided with a patrol vehicle before traffic officers managed to apprehend him.

The necessary traffic citations were issued against the violators.

All three were referred to the Central Prison, while the two vehicles and the motorcycle used in the incidents were impounded, according to the Ministry of Interior.
