Recently, while conducting hot lane enforcement along the southbound lanes of Interstate 405, a CHP officer observed two vehicles actively engaged in street racing and exhibiting reckless driving behavior, according to the CHP’s Westminster office.
Both vehicles were observed traveling at speeds greater than 120 mph. In addition to the excessive speeds, the drivers made numerous unsafe lane changes, significantly endangering surrounding motorists, while violating multiple traffic laws.
The officer was able to conduct a traffic stop on the more aggressive of the two drivers, which resulted in an arrest for street racing/reckless driving and a 30-day vehicle impound. As for the one that got away, the investigation is ongoing.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will not tolerate illegal street racing that occurs on local, county, or state highways. If you see any person that engages in such activity, contact us a 1-800-TELL-CHP…
