illegal racing

Unlawful automotive competition

Illegal racing is unsanctioned competition between vehicles on public roads, outside the bounds of organized motorsport.

Street racing typically involves cars or motorcycles racing for speed, often at night on empty stretches of highway or in industrial areas.

The activity carries criminal penalties and serious risks: Three teenagers were killed in an illegal racing accident on the interstate.
