Street racing in residential areas or open roads is illegal and extremely dangerous.

The driver may get pressure from their friends to get involved, but they must refrain.

Apart from arranged races, the driver must avoid racing other vehicles when stopped at a stoplight or alongside a train.

Always maintain at the posted speed limit.

Although the driver may be highly skilled, they should not race on the open road. Their action may cause a novice and nervous driver to be involved in an accident.

Street racing is a form of aggressive, irresponsible and reckless driving. In street racing, two or more parties attempt to race their cars, creating dangerous situations for everyone sharing the road. Anyone involved in this behaviour or action will face serious charges. Charges may include immediate seven-day suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundments at the roadside. The law enforcement officer has reasonable and plausible grounds to believe the driver has committed the offence.

Upon conviction, the driver may face the following:

• Fines from $2,000 to $10,000
• Driver licence suspension of up to 10 years for a second conviction within ten years timeframe
• The accumulation of six years of a first conviction and a maximum of six months of jail time

Street racing is a form of illegal motor vehicle racing that typically occurs on public roads or highways. It is a high-risk activity that involves drivers competing in speed and acceleration tests, often in modified vehicles. Street racing is dangerous and illegal, as it puts the drivers and passengers of the racing vehicles and other motorists, pedestrians, and bystanders at risk.

Street racing can take many forms, from impromptu races between two vehicles on a deserted road to organizing events involving hundreds of vehicles and spectators. Drivers often engage in risky behaviours such as weaving through traffic, running red lights or stop signs, and exceeding posted speed limits. Street racing can be organized through social media, text messages, or other means of communication.

Street racing is illegal in all provinces in Canada and can result in criminal charges, vehicle impoundment, and fines. It can also result in severe injury or death. The consequences of street racing are not limited to the racers themselves. Still, they can also affect innocent bystanders and other road users.

Street racing is illegal and unsafe. Drivers in street racing are more likely to cause accidents, and the high speeds involved can lead to severe injury or death in a crash. The risks of street racing are compounded by the fact that many racing vehicles are modified with after-market parts that may not meet safety standards.

To prevent street racing, law enforcement agencies in Ontario and across Canada conduct targeted enforcement and education campaigns aimed at discouraging the practice. Drivers can also play a role in preventing street racing by choosing to obey traffic laws and reporting suspected incidents to the police.
