Prompt action

Hats off to the Dubai Police team who nabbed a motorcyclist speeding at over 290 km/h and doing stunts on a lark (“Dubai Police nab motorcyclist speeding at over 290 km/h, doing stunts on a lark,” Aug.8, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, Dubai Police nabbed a motorcycle rider who appeared in a video clip moving at a speed exceeding 290 kilometres/h, performing dangerous stunts by riding on one wheel and weaving between vehicles in a clear disregard for traffic laws and the safety of others.

Life is more precious than any other treasure in the world. Crazy people take the risk of not only their own lives but also the lives of others and want to fulfil their passion.

It’s so crazy to ride a motorcycle at over 290 km/h, doing stunts on a whim just to show off, in perhaps an attention-grabbing exercise.

The nabbed person should be prosecuted and pay the price for his criminal act so that no one dares risk their life by doing crazy and dangerous stunts on the roads.
