Anyone caught street racing or stunt driving faces a license suspension between 7 and 30 days, and vehicle impoundment from 7 to 14 days.
If convicted, offenders also face a license suspension of 1 to 3 years for the first offence, 3 to 10 years for the second, and a lifetime suspension on the third offence.
