|By Arabian Post Staff|The Ras Al Khaimah police issued a fine of AED 1 million to a driver for excessive speeding, overtaking on the hard shoulder and driving recklessly.
“The motorist was caught by radars on the roads, and found committing a number of traffic violations, including speeding,” Major General Ali Abdullah Bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of Ras Al Khaimah Police, told the Arabic daily Al Khaleej.
The Dh1m fine is the most expensive that Ras Al Khaimah authorities had to issue in recent years, with the second largest fine recorded at Dh250,000.
However, the two motorists were granted a 50 per cent discount as part of Ras Al Khaimah Police’s celebration to mark International Happiness Day, which was held last March.
According to Maj. Gen. Al Nuaimi added that both drivers have since paid their fines.
