KUWAIT CITY, Sept 15: A source in the General Traffic Department confirmed that a specialized team is actively monitoring traffic law violations appearing on social media platforms, in addition to those recorded by surveillance cameras installed on public roads.

The source explained that the monitoring team identifies vehicles involved in violations, summons their owners, and refers them to the impound garage while issuing traffic citations. In cases where the vehicle owner fails to appear voluntarily, the matter is referred to the Traffic Investigation Unit to take the necessary legal measures.

The source added that any individual accused of a violation has the right to review the footage or evidence — whether it was shared on social media or recorded by surveillance cameras.

The source further noted that during the past week, eight vehicles were documented as recklessly violating traffic regulations. Among these cases was one in which a driver deliberately harassed another motorist by closely tailing the vehicle, then overtaking and driving at an extremely slow speed in front of it, obstructing traffic and endangering both drivers. Another incident involved a driver swerving against the flow of traffic on a highway.
