Traffic Practice Area: Street Racing Specialisation

The Traffic practice area, especially the Street Racing specialisation, focuses on laws related to illegal street racing in New Zealand. Street racing is when drivers compete against each other on public roads, often at high speeds. This can be very dangerous for both the racers and other road users.

What is Street Racing?

Street racing usually happens at night or in quiet areas where there are fewer cars. For example, you might see two cars speeding down a long, empty road, trying to outdo each other. While it may seem exciting, it poses serious risks, including accidents, injuries, and even fatalities.

New Zealand Law on Street Racing

In New Zealand, street racing is illegal. The law is strict about this because it endangers lives. If caught, drivers can face heavy fines, loss of their driving licence, and even imprisonment. For instance, if someone is caught racing and causing a crash, they could be charged with dangerous driving, which carries severe penalties.
