Street racing is a very serious offence. People under age 18 will go to youth court. Drivers 18 and older go to adult court. Either way, if someone is found guilty of street racing, they will have their vehicle taken away, be fined a large amount, and lose their driver’s licence. | Street racing is a very serious offence.
