Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's prosecution office said five men were sentenced to sweep the streets of Abu Dhabi as punishment for reckless driving.
In three different cases heard by a court, the drivers were given community service along with Dh50,000 fines. Their cars confiscated and sold at auction to pay for the damage to public roads.
The motorists were accused of driving cars without number plates, causing disturbance, and endangering the lives of others.

The men were filmed drifting their vehicles and "showing off their cars in neighbourhoods".
“Showboating in public streets is one of the most irresponsible behaviours conducted by young men, which poses a threat to their lives and the lives of other road users,” said ADJD.
