Can Racing Cars Be Driven on Public Roads?
1 Answers
Racing cars cannot be driven on public roads. Here are the specific reasons: Reasons why racing cars cannot be driven on public roads: According to traffic laws, racing cars designed for competitions are not allowed on public roads and can only be driven on race tracks. Especially for modified racing cars, prolonged driving can lead to a decline in safety performance. Additionally, since these vehicles do not have license plates and lack insurance, driving them on public roads poses significant traffic safety hazards. After modifications, racing cars often lack power-assisted braking and steering systems, have increased horsepower, higher speeds, and produce excessive noise, which can disturb residents near the roads. Therefore, racing cars should only be used on race tracks. Penalties for street racing: Engaging in motor vehicle racing or chasing on public roads can result in corresponding fines, and may also lead to the revocation of the driver's license, with a five-year ban on reapplying. If the act constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law. If it is known that racing could lead to the death of unspecified individuals, the act may be prosecuted as homicide, punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than ten years. Causing injury constitutes ordinary assault, with a maximum penalty of up to three years in prison. Causing severe injury can result in imprisonment from three to ten years. Sentences may be combined.
