Street Racing in San Diego

[Slick]

Here is what San Diego is doing to stop street racing. When they say "seize vehicles", that means take the title and never give it back. The car is GONE FOREVER!

Drag Racers Would Forfeit Cars Under New Law

(San Diego, CA) -- San Diego police will soon have the authority to seize vehicles used in illegal street races. The City Council approved the ordinance yesterday in a first reading in an ongoing effort to stop innocent victims from being killed in drag racing crashes. The new law is expected to go into effect in a couple of months. Late last year, the council passed an ordinance making it illegal to attend street races. Violators face up to six months in jail and a $1 thousand fine.

Yeah....I heard that on the local news. I'm currently in Del Mar.

Looks like the impound yards will be full of rice!!:Brow:

Slick - Do you know if they still have the street legal drags in San Diego?? I thought I saw somewhere that they were racing near Qualcomm.:Do No:

So they've written a law that makes people think "I'm gonna lose the car anyways, might as well crash my way outta here and try to outrun the cops"

What a way to increase the death toll. Can we make a law requiring people to think first and make laws second???
