A rowdy night of illegal street racing on a public highway has left drivers fuming and the internet buzzing, as outraged citizens demand immediate action.

 

Racing fanatics descended onto a busy highway, blocking traffic to host a wild drag race that left commuters stranded. Online criticism swelled, with many questioning the absence of police and why the chaos went unchecked.

 

The upheaval kicked off on July 8 when TikTok user @jackyes7 posted a jaw-dropping video capturing young racers taking over the highway. The footage showed the racers lining up pickup trucks on the tarmac while regular traffic ground to a halt.

 

Expressing their exasperation, the user commented, “Is it right to close the road for racing? If you want to race, go to a track. Such behaviour causes trouble for everyone.”

 

The video depicted the racers accelerating upon a starting signal, leaving innocent motorists in the dust, unable to proceed on their journeys. Social media erupted with questions about why the police failed to intervene and suggestions that larger vehicles, like trucks, should help clear such blockages.

 

The menace of illegal street racing not only jeopardises safety but also adds unwarranted chaos for everyday drivers. The clamour for more robust police measures and efficient traffic management reflects public frustration over this ongoing issue.

 

In response to these events, Police Lieutenant General Nithithorn Jintakanon, who heads the Traffic Police Image Enhancement Working Group, has highlighted the legal ramifications and dangers posed by street racing among young people.

 

He reiterated that this reckless behaviour breaches the law, jeopardises public safety, and unsettles communities. Plans for a nationwide police crackdown are accelerating, aiming not only at the thrill-seekers themselves but also at mechanic shops modifying cars and the parents who allow such antics.

 

This brazen act has spurred a widespread call to action, with citizens urging authorities to restore order and safety on the roads. Whether increased enforcement or community programmes, the message is clear: the public wants change, and they want it fast.

 

Finally, in a country where getting stuck in traffic is already a daily ordeal, illegal racing only compounds the frustration. As the police gear up for a tougher stance, the focus remains on safeguarding the streets and ensuring peace for all who use them.
