Whether it is an every-Saturday-night event or a spontaneous race down a main street, drag racing can be exhilarating and fun. No wonder it has been extremely popular in Philadelphia. But too frequently, the consequences of drag racing have turned out to be dangerous to the participants, occupants of other cars and pedestrians.
In Pennsylvania, drag racing carries penalties that can include costly fines and suspension of your driver’s license. If you are charged, you will need to retain a defense attorney who thoroughly understands the law, and can represent you skillfully and aggressively.
What You Need To Know About Drag Racing
In Pennsylvania, drag racing is defined as racing your vehicles side-by-side to compete over speed and acceleration. You can also be charged with drag racing if you try to set your own speed record, even if no other cars are involved.
You don’t have to be in a vehicle to receive a ticket for drag racing. Spectators at a drag racing event can also be charged.
