LAUGH IT OFF
ON ATLANTA’S ILLEGAL STREET RACING AND DUIS
Through the pandemic and its slightly emptier streets, illegal street racing has become more and more popular. It can wear down parking lots, streets, and even driveways; it also causes a lot of noise in otherwise quiet neighborhoods. As a very dangerous and thrilling sport, this kind of stunt driving poses a huge problem for the residents and police department of Atlanta.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS RACING?
Georgia law explicitly prohibits “any vehicle on a highway of this state from participating in any race, speed competition or contest, drag race or acceleration contest, test of physical endurance, exhibition of speed or acceleration, or for the purpose of making a speed record.” Racing itself is defined as “the use of one or more vehicles in an attempt to out-gain, outdistance, or prevent another vehicle from passing, to arrive at a given destination ahead of another vehicle, or to test the physical stamina or endurance of drivers over long-distance driving routes.” If convicted of racing, you may be charged with any punishment under the misdemeanor sentencing statute. This means you could get anything between fines up to $1,000 plus court costs, license suspension, community service, jail time, probation, and more.
