The arrest was made with support from the Monitoring and Control Centre after the driver’s behaviour was flagged as reckless.

In footage shared by police, the driver can be seen livestreaming while weaving through traffic, switching on flashing lights, and overtaking cars using the hard shoulder on a high-speed road.

Authorities said the actions showed clear disregard for road safety and other motorists.

‘Roads Are Not for Social Media’

They reminded motorists that public roads are not a place for showing off or engaging with online audiences.

Strict Action Against Violations

Officials warned that there is zero tolerance for such violations and that legal action will be taken against anyone caught endangering lives on the road.
