Presumably the doctor just gave him the finger for no reason.

Anyway, dangerous driving is a 1000 AED fine.

According to The National this morning, the doctor missed his first court hearing. The article also said that the other driver was a copper (hadn't seen that before), and the reporter was unaware how the doctor managed to leave the country given that his passport would have been confiscated.

The paper said at the time, one of the doctor's friends here surrendered his passport to allow the doctor to get his one back and leave the country.

That was my point--it was reportedly earlier, but The National's hack seems unaware.

Yep, any chance the government have somehow sneaked him out of the country via the embassy?

Yes - especially as he was allegedly flashing the headlights and tailgating the doctor's car.

No no, you've got it wrong--he was merely drawing attention to the fact that the good doctor hadn't got his lights on. C'mon, he was a policeman...
