Racing on the Highway
In 2002 the law regarding Racing on the Highway changed dramatically. Prior to 2002, Racing on the Highway was considered a civil infraction-punishable by a fine and potential ramifications of your driving privileges for specified time periods such as suspension of drivers license. In 2002 this all changed. Today a charge of Racing on the Highway is considered a criminal traffic infraction-punishable by not only fines and loss of driving privileges, but also incarceration, probation, and impoundment of your automobile or motorcycle at your expense.
