During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the growing concerns surrounding exhibition driving and drag racing, particularly in residential neighborhoods. One participant expressed feeling overwhelmed by the prevalence of these activities, noting their disruptive impact on local communities.

A significant point of discussion was the challenge law enforcement faces in addressing these issues, particularly regarding the problem of fleeing drivers. The current inability to effectively ticket or hold accountable those engaged in such reckless behavior was highlighted as a major concern.

To combat this, officials are planning to reintroduce the \"fleeing owner liability bill\" in the upcoming legislative session. This proposed legislation aims to hold vehicle owners accountable for the actions of those driving their cars. Under the new framework, vehicle owners would be required to identify the driver involved in illegal activities. If they choose not to disclose this information, they would face a non-criminal forfeiture ticket, providing a mechanism to encourage compliance and enhance accountability.

The discussions underscored the urgent need for effective tools to manage and mitigate the risks associated with exhibition driving and drag racing, as communities seek solutions to restore safety and order on their streets.
