The Emirati youth seen in the video was booked for reckless driving and the public prosecution sentenced him to do community service. In the second half of the same video, the man can be seen scrubbing the road, digging up ground at the centre island and planting some greenery that could replace those he had destroyed.

As reported in Khaleej Times, the Abu Dhabi Police through the video wanted to convey a message, that all motorists who break traffic rules shall be punished according to the law.
