A Sports Car Was Caught Revving Loudly In A Residential Area
A video shared on Reddit has caught attention after showing a sports car revving loudly while driving through a residential area in Barsha 1 around 7pm 📣
According to the original post, the driver kept looping the neighbourhood, with the user jokingly captioning it: “Someone give this guy some attention. Guy kept going around Barsha 1 at 7pm today probably thinking this is cool.”
While the video sparked jokes online… it’s also serious. Vehicles that cause excessive noise can face fines of up to AED 2,000, along with 12 black points. In some cases, cars may also be impounded, with release fees reaching up to AED 10,000 💰
Dubai Police have expanded the use of noise radars and patrols across the city to crack down on modified exhausts, excessively loud engines, blaring music, and unnecessary honking, particularly in residential neighbourhoods and popular driving spots.

A 16-Year Old Emirati-Italian Has Been Confirmed Among The Victims Of The Swiss NYE Fire
A devastating fire broke out at Le Constellation bar in the Swiss ski resort town of Crans-Montana during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Initial investigations suggest the fire was sparked by fountain-style sparklers attached to champagne bottles. Authorities believe the sparklers were held too close to the ceiling, igniting flammable soundproofing material.
The incident claimed 40 lives and left 119 people injured. Many of the injured suffered severe burns and were transferred to specialist hospitals across Switzerland, as well as France, Germany, Italy, and Belgium.
One of the victims was 17-year-old Emanuele Galeppini. He was a young golfer from Genoa who had relocated to Dubai with his family several years ago. Galeppini studied at the Swiss International School in Dubai and trained at the Tommy Fleetwood Academy at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
