The internet had jokes
As expected, the comments section did not disappoint. Many Reddit users poked fun at the driver, with several suggesting the car was likely a rental being used to show off. Others called the behaviour embarrassing, especially given the time and location, pointing out that Barsha 1 is a busy residential area with families, pedestrians, and evening traffic.
Also, some commenters highlighted how loud exhausts tend to attract the opposite reaction than intended, with noise complaints and eye-rolls instead of admiration.
Loud cars can mean serious fines in Dubai
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.
Noise limits are clearly set
Yes, the UAE has a noise limit of 95 decibels for vehicles. These regulations are in place to protect residents, especially during evenings and night-time hours, and to maintain peace and safety in busy communities.
A reminder for drivers
While flashy cars may turn heads on highways or tracks, revving loudly in residential areas often does the opposite. As many commenters pointed out, it is more likely to earn criticism, fines, or worse, than admiration.
