Below is report from another friend of ours at another club Hello friends On my way to the season opening event, I got stopped by an officer from Madam police station.. and they confiscated my car.. Here is their final decision… - 3 month of impounding.. payable for 3000 AED per month (9000 AED) - 5000 AED government fine - 1000 AED RTA fine - ⁠12 Black points I have to go to Al Dhaid police station tomorrow morning to deal with these one by one… They have confirmed any modifications on normal or offroad cars are illegal in Sharjah territory.. even if its legal and registered in Dubai or Abu Dhabi… They clearly told me not to come with any of the Jeeps or Y61 to Sharjah.. Madam and Meliha road are really sensitive areas.. I have to add everyone in that police station was really helpful and kind.. but rules are rules! Stay safe 🫡 (Message from an offroader)

Am sure u r looking forward to ur first levelled up drive😁! Congrats @khalid125

Hi @DP1011, For your kind info, my flag mount would not be available on Saturday, but I’m so eager to join this drive. Would you let me since we’ve got plenty of support…

Thanks @Mahesh_ it has been a pleasure watching you learn and improve into the awesome off-roader that you have become. For sure will keep in touch and may even rent a jeep next time I am in Dubai and join a drive 😜

With the summer coming closer, we will go a little deeper into the dangers of being exposed to the extreme heat UAE brings to us. During off-roading, some activities such as recovery work, replacing tyres, and dealing with pop-outs, are physically demanding, and many of us who are in office jobs are not trained to cope with this amount of heat. Luckily with the help of some basic things, we can minimize the risk of below mentioned issues. The following risks are identified: Heat exhaustion: Warning signs: A person may suddenly look pale. Heart rate will increase and the victim may complain of feeling dizzy and nauseous. A feeling of weakness is also common. What to do: Seek shade immediately and lie down, especially if you’re feeling lightheaded. Apply a cold compress to the forehead and remove extra layers. Heat Stroke: Warning signs: Heat stroke is a type of hypothermia where the body temperature is greatly elevated. If not treated immediately it can be fatal. Symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack, along with nausea, headaches, hallucinations, difficulty in breathing, and agitation, What to do: apply cool water to the skin and place ice packs under the arms to reduce the temperature quickly. Preventive Measures: • Sip some water all day long, rather than just when you are thirsty. If you are thirsty it means you are already dehydrated. • Wear light clothing that can "breathe", but also wear sunblock and keep your head protected with a cap or hat. • Some fruit and vegetables can re-hydrate the body even more than water. Carry some in your cooler. • Water is important, but too much water can be dangerous as it can cause electrolyte depletion. Limit yourselves to 2-3 liters per day. • When recovering a vehicle in full sun, limit your exposure time and take some rest every couple of minutes. Because you are focused on the task at hand, you might completely forget the heat and become dizzy and exhausted. • If at some point you feel unwell, inform your club members immediately. When driving, inform immediately over the radio so the convoy can be stopped. • Keep an eye out for your fellow club members. It is relatively easy to recognize above symptoms in somebody else. Let them take appropriate rest. Please do share your tips, hints, experiences !
