Crackdown on street racing stepped up

Police will step up a crackdown on street racing to ensure safe and quiet nights for residents, the Ministry of Public Security said on Monday. Car racing on streets, mostly taking place at night to avoid police intervention, not only threatens traffic safety but also makes noise and disturbs people's rest, particularly when students are preparing for high school and college entrance exams, the ministry said in a news release. It said a nationwide operation against street racing this year has made significant progress.
