Drag racing is an illegal and highly dangerous activity that poses a significant risk to the riders and other motorists on the road. It involves two or more vehicles accelerating as fast as possible from a standing start over a short distance, typically a quarter of a mile.
This type of racing requires expert driving skills and puts the riders at great risk of injury or death.
At around 5:00 PM on March 30, 2023 (Thursday), the planned drag race in Barangay Montible, Puerto Princesa City was foiled by the Police Station 2 personnel, who impounded two motorcycles after catching their riders in the act.
The police officers caught the two motorcyclists just before they could start the race, and confiscated their motorcycles. The motorcycle were brought to the police station for custody.
The police have reiterated their warning to young people about the dangers of illegal racing and the legal consequences of participating in such activities. They have urged parents to monitor their children’s activities and to discourage them from taking part in illegal races.
The police’s prompt response to the planned drag race is a reminder of their commitment to ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians alike.
