In 2001, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that police listed street racing as a factor in 135 fatal crashes. According to the same source, more than 800 citations were issued in 2001 for illegal street racing. Even the spectators can get seriously injured, killed, or fined.
Some of the penalties that street racers are issued are as follows:
You can be arrested and have your car impounded for 30 days.
If convicted of street racing or aiding and abetting a street race, you can be imprisoned for up to three months and fined up to $1,000. Spectators are subject to penalties as well.
Your driver's license can be revoked.
Your car insurance may be canceled or the rates dramatically increased.
Cars in and around illegal street races are often issued equipment violations.
So the next time you decided you want to participate in illegal street racing, think about the consequences you may face. And most importantly, the lives you put at risk when your doing it.
