What penalties do drivers face in Abu Dhabi for using excessively noisy or illegally modified vehicles, and how can the public respond?

Abu Dhabi Police have warned that driving a vehicle that causes excessive noise—especially in residential areas—can result in a Dh2,000 fine and 12 traffic points, while unauthorised engine or chassis modifications can attract a Dh1,000 fine, 12 points, and vehicle impoundment of up to 30 days, with a Dh10,000 release fee under Law No. 5 of 2020; authorities say there will be zero tolerance for behaviour that disturbs public peace, urging residents to report noisy or disruptive vehicles by calling 999. Do you think these penalties are strict enough to deter noisy driving, or should enforcement be even tougher in residential areas?
