The campaign against reckless drivers in Dubai has been stepped up by police chiefs.
A 10-day operation started on Tuesday focusing on the antics of minibus drivers following two recent crash tragedies in the city, UAE daily Gulf News reported on Thursday.
Seven people were killed and many others injured in two separate minibus accidents last week.
Traffic control teams have specified certain inspection points to stop reckless drivers, especially in Al Mamzar and on internal roads.
The focus of the campaign on minibuses is during morning and evening peak hours, when many reports have been received saying they tend to speed and drive recklessly while carrying passengers.
According to the latest statistics, there are around 22,526 registered minibuses in Dubai.
A total of 15,728 fines have been issued for reckless driving this year.
