DUBAI // Two Emirati men are being charged with endangering other people's lives after an online video showing them performing automotive stunts on the Sheikh Zayed Road led to a police investigation. The case is the first of its kind in Dubai allowing traffic violators to face criminal prosecution. The suspects, who were not identified, face up to three years in prison and fines if convicted. A video clip posted on YouTube shows a pick-up truck intentionally spinning and skidding across the heavily travelled road while a 4x4 zig-zags across six lanes of traffic balanced on two wheels. wissa@thenational.ae
