Illegal Street Racing
Street racing is a form of unsanctioned and illegal motor racing which takes place on
public roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 804
people were killed in racing-related crashes between 2001 and 2006 and the highest
incidence of illegal Street racing deaths is amongst the 15-29 age groups.
Racing on a drag strip is much less dangerous than racing on the street. Spectators are
kept at a safe distance, emergency safety crews are on site in case there is an accident.
After declining in the first half of the decade, street-racing deaths are on the rise again,
climbing roughly 35 percent from 111 in 2005 to 150 in 2006, according to the NHTSA.
