Boy racer crack down

Chris Bishop announced the following changes to deal with by racers and fleeing drivers:

• A presumptive sentence of vehicle destruction or forfeiture for those that flee Police, street racers, intimidating convoys and owners who fail to identify offending drivers
• Police to have more powers to manage illegal vehicle gatherings by closing roads or public areas and issuing infringements
• Increasing the infringement fee for making excessive noise from or within a vehicle from $50 to $300
• Increasing the maximum court fine for making excessive noise from $1,000 to $3,000

Will be interesting to see if the opposition parties vote for these changes!
