Traffic authorities in Saudi Arabia have announced that motorists may face fines of up to SR6,000 for organizing car races or driving in convoys on public roads without a permit. The General Department of Traffic has warned that such actions obstruct traffic and pose a serious risk to other road users. Field and undercover teams have been deployed across Saudi cities to identify and penalize offenders.
