LAUGH IT OFF
Have you ever been driving and noticed two vehicles driving extremely fast around you, appearing to be racing? The answer is likely yes because street racing is unfortunately common. Street racing is not only dangerous, but it’s also a serious traffic offense that can result in multiple penalties and is sure to damage your driving record. It should be noted that if an individual has a history of street racing on their driving record, they can be potentially disqualified from limited driving permits. Two types of street racing exist: spontaneous races and organized races. Spontaneous races are those in which two drivers pull up to each other at a red light and decide to race once the light turns green. However, organized street races will typically involve more than two vehicles and are covert in nature (cue a scene from the “Fast and Furious” movies). Both types of racing are reckless and involve going WAY over the speed limit, putting everyone on and near the roads at risk of injury or death. According to Georgia’s law, street racing is defined as using one or more cars to arrive at a given destination before another vehicle. It also involves using a vehicle to outdistance, outgain, keep another vehicle from passing, or test the physical stamina or endurance of drivers over long-distance routes. Because street racing is a serious offense, it is classified under the misdemeanor sentencing statute in the state of Georgia, which includes fines of up to $1,000, court costs, and potential license suspension. It could even mean serving time in jail! Those who are habitually charged with street racing offenses are charged much stiffer penalties.
