The General Traffic Department (Moroor) in Saudi Arabia emphasizes the severe consequences and dangers associated with drifting, going beyond mere traffic violations. The official Moroor account on the "X" platform underscores that drifting is not just a breach of traffic laws but a reckless act that jeopardizes the safety of both the driver and other road users.
According to Article 69 of the Saudi Traffic Law, drifting is considered a serious traffic crime with escalating penalties for repeat offenders. The first offense results in a 15-day car impoundment and a fine of 20,000 riyals. Subsequent offenses lead to harsher penalties, including increased fines, extended car impoundment periods, and potential imprisonment.
It's important to note that the penalties of seizure or confiscation mentioned in Article 69 do not apply to rented or stolen cars, as clarified by the Moroor in Saudi Arabia.
