This story had me conjuring images of a Chinese Biker Boyz. Pretty amusing until I remembered how stupid that movie was...
Shanghai police fanned out along elevated roads around the city for four hours last night in a surprise crackdown on drag racing, which has become an increasing prevalent problem among young drivers.
Police say traffic cameras frequently capture images of motorcycles and souped-up cars dragging along elevated roads. But most drivers use fake license plates when racing so camera images rarely lead to arrests.
Most of the racing takes place late at night or early in the morning when there are few vehicles on the roads, police said. They added, however, that some drivers prefer to race around noon, assuming there will be few police on the streets as shifts are changing or officers are having lunch.
