Along with various online challenges including 'The Mannequin Challenge' and ‘Planking,’ the latest ‘In My Feelings,’ challenge has gone too far. The challenge, taken from the ‘In My Feelings’ track by Drake, involves people getting out of a moving vehicle and doing a choreographed dance alongside it. The challenge began when an Instagram user by the name of ‘theshiggyshow' posted a video of himself dancing alongside his moving vehicle. Social media users then followed suit.

According to Col Saeed Obaid bin Aran, the “risks” behind the challenge are not only directed towards the rider but to other drivers and the person filming. People who are caught performing the dangerous act will be hit with a Dhs 2,000 fine as well as 23 black points. He said, "The vehicle involved in the grave traffic violation shall be impounded for 60 days.”

Now, three social media stars in the region have been called to arrest.

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department issued the following statement on their Twitter page:

"On charges of endangering the lives of others, violating public morals and violating traffic law, The Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution orders the seizure and bringing to justice of three social networking celebrities for doing the kiki dance challenge."

Although it’s not something that should necessarily have to be said, but please do not jump out of moving vehicles.
