So far, the law that punishes the organizers and participants of street races was not, and therefore amateurs organize races on the streets of cities. Most often, races occur at night, the roar of powerful engines violates the silence of cities. But even race on the tracks are not safe for other participants in the movement.

The working chamber of the State Duma of the Russian Federation prepared a package of bills that would toughen the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code, now street trafficking will not be considered an ordinary hooliganism, when well-to-do daddies could generally save a child on an expensive powerful typewriter from punishment. Of course, the size of the punishment will depend on a number of factors - what damage is caused, whether the violation was first committed. The maximum penalty for organizing street races will be up to 1 million rubles. Provided for the organizers of the race and imprisonment up to two years. Participants of the race will be deprived of their rights and a year of "rest" in prison.

It was decided to equate hooliganism with driving on sidewalks, and for driving after a deprivation of rights it would be punishable by a fine of up to 50 thousand rubles.

The law will go to the Cabinet of Ministers and the Supreme Court, then it will be returned to the State Duma for approval.

The need for such a law. Until now, racers have been punished very gently, and impunity corrupts. Fine, administrative arrest, deprivation of rights, public works. So the son of the vice-president of Lukoil Ruslan Shamsuarov and his comrades left the police in the streets of Moscow at high speed. The punishment was 15 days of arrest for disobeying the demands of the police and 300 hours of public works for insulting law enforcement officers. Shamsuarova's girlfriend Mara Baghdasaryan also got off lightly enough. But these races fortunately did not cause the tragedy.

In November 2015, in Moscow strikturser Ayubov at high speed touched two foreign cars, two people had to be hospitalized. And the case did not reach the court, the victims were compensated. In 2015, on Kutuzov Prospekt street racing Mark Goldperin crashed into two foreign cars - failed to manage. He himself and his passenger died.

LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky offered to return to the Criminal Code such a penalty, as a reference for 5 years.

In Berlin, two street racers, who blamed the driver of the car, were found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

In Saudi Arabia, one fan of "free drift", which is considered special street racing by the street racers, was sentenced to death. There, in 2006 alone, more than 6,000 people were arrested. Conscious lihachestvo at the wheel, which led to the death of a person is punishable by death by cutting off the head.
