Biggest Hong Kong Street Racing Bust

The number of cars might seem low but,

Shenzhen police called it the biggest street racing case ever seen in the city in terms of “scale, number of vehicles involved, and potential dangers”

Thirteen luxury car owners from Hong Kong were arrested on the mainland after reaching speeds of up to 251km/h in an illegal race on the highway connecting Shenzhen and Guangzhou, local media said.

The suspects, all permanent Hong Kong residents, are aged between 38 and 62 years old and were driving sports cars from manufacturers including McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche

China pays people to rat out drivers, over $3k USD if there is an accident:

Shenzhen police are offering members of the public 2,000 yuan (HK 2,520) for tip-offs about illegal racing. Informants providing clues in cases that result in major traffic accidents can be awarded a maximum of 20,000 yuan.

Hong Kong as in China, the country. As opposed to China the country of origin :slight_smile:

Where are all the civics?

EDIT: On a serious note after reading the article, I’m SHOCKED that the criminal offense in that country is not punishable by death.

These are all expensive cars, not an NYSpeed meet

do civics even show up to NYSpeed meets anymore?

I didn’t know we still had “meets” I thought we all moved onto houses and kids etc :sarcasm:

Don’t they Execute people for smoking weed in that country?

Believe that’s Vietnam but not 100% sure, or maybe Thailand?

But Hong Kong is pretty much the antithesis of mainland China.

Well, except for all the Asians.

Definitely not Thailand
