Doha: The Traffic Department referred a reckless driver to the Public Prosecution after a video of him sidewall skiing (kind of a stunt driving) at one of the roundabouts in Qatar was shared on social media.
The act of balancing the vehicle on two side wheels is known as sidewall skiing.
The department shared the video where a driver in a black vehicle can be seen manoeuvring the car on two wheels during day time along the Al-Sailiya roundabout.

The vehicle was seized until further notice, in addition to transferring the driver to the Public Prosecution and ordering him to compensate for the damage, he caused on the street, said the department on its Twitter account.
Sidewall skiing is an automotive driving stunt where the car is driven while balanced only on two wheels, either the pair on the driver side or on the passenger side. The stunt is generally performed by driving one pair of wheels up on a ramp to lift one side of the car.
