20 arrested for illegal road racing in New Territories
Police said they have arrested 20 people in an operation to combat illegal road racing in black spots in the New Territories over the past two months, such as Bride's Pool Road, Route Twisk, Tuen Mun Road, and Tolo Highway.  The suspects – aged between 20 and 60 – were arrested on suspicion of offences such as dangerous driving, illegal road racing, and driving without third-party insurance.   Fourteen private cars and two motorcycles were seized in the operation. "There are private cars chasing each other at very high speeds of up to 168 kilometres per hour on a section of Tuen Mun Road, where the speed limit is 80 kilometres per hour. They went twice the speed limit, and ignored the safety of other road users," said Chief Inspector So Chi-wai of the New Territories North traffic unit. Six of the suspects will be charged and will appear at the Fanling Magistrates' Courts on Thursday.
