A new law to crack down on street racing is set to take effect on Jan. 1.

The new law raises the stakes for drivers who take part in these events and put people in danger. It also expands the definition of illegal street racing to include areas like parking garages and parking lots where we’ve seen many of these takeovers happen.

Starting Jan. 1st, a new law in Washington state has drivers who take part in these events facing more serious consequences. Drivers can now get their cars impounded on the first offense and taken away on the second.
