2 Answers
Engaging in motor vehicle racing and chasing on the road under severe circumstances, or driving under the influence of alcohol on the road, is subject to criminal penalties including detention and fines. Below are the relevant details: Running a Red Light: Running a red light results in 6 points deducted; not wearing a seatbelt results in 2 points deducted. Drunk Driving: 12 points are deducted. Depending on the vehicle driven and whether an accident occurred, penalties may include a 5-year ban on reapplying for a driver's license, a 10-year ban, or a lifetime ban. Intentional Concealment of License Plate: 12 points are deducted, with the maximum penalty applied. Speeding: Depending on the vehicle type, road conditions, exceeding the speed limit by 50%, or by 20%, the penalties are 12 points, 6 points, or 3 points deducted respectively.
Getting caught in a street race means an instant 12-point deduction – no joking matter. I once saw two youngsters racing on the elevated highway, only to be pulled over by traffic cops. Not only did they lose all their points, but their car got impounded too. This kind of dangerous driving is almost as severe as drunk driving, with immediate license revocation and mandatory retesting. The real issue is the extreme danger – I recently saw news about a modified car hitting 180 km/h, losing control, crashing into barriers, and getting completely totaled. Driving steadily is always better; those few minutes aren't worth the risk. With today's complex road conditions, a sudden pedestrian appearance could spell disaster. If you really want to race, go to a proper track instead.
