“Any behaviour that causes a driver to act unpredictably or potentially lose control of a vehicle is very concerning. This includes racing, doughnuts, burnouts, drifting and other stunting activities,” said Staff Sgt. Robert Patterson of the Calgary Police Service Traffic Section.
There were 90 tickets handed out for speeding, racing, driving and equipment violations. As well, there were 51 warnings issued for various traffic offences, seven compliance direction notices and two outstanding warrants. “The potential for serious collisions as a result of illegal street racing activity is significant,” said Patterson.Police say illegal racing isn’t just a huge risk for those behind the wheel – it puts the general public, bystanders and onlookers at risk too.Story continues below advertisement
