Maryland street racers could now face major penalties with new law in effect

A new Maryland law recently signed by Gov. Wes Moore aiming to crack down on exhibition driving or street racing is now in effect. Anyone participating in street racing in Maryland could face jail time and hefty fines. Street racing has caused chaos and death in Baltimore and beyond. In Maryland, the cost of showing off is now much higher. “It’s all about showing off and at other people’s risk and expense to life and health and business and peace,” said John Seng, Chair of Safe Roads Maryland, the group that lobbied for the bills.
