Seattle is combatting illegal street racing with new legislation that imposes fines and requires ignition interlock devices for offenders.
On a typical Saturday night, the quiet of Seattle 's residential streets is shattered by the deafening roar of modified engines and screeching tires like that of the "Belltown Hellcat." These illegal street racing events, often glorified on social media, have become a growing problem for the city. But now, the city is taking decisive action.
It also broadens the definition of street racing to include drifting and "street takeover" events. The legislation also states that offenders may be required to install ignition interlock devices on their vehicles.The proposed bill is part of a broader effort by the city to enhance public safety and curb dangerous driving behaviors; it will now be reviewed by the Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee.
