It's no surprise when reckless riders get tossed into jail for their
two-wheeled misdeeds, but a new law in China has the potential to land
street racers six feet under. Two riders identified only as Jin and Zhang were racing through the
streets of Shanghai aboard Honda and Yamaha literbikes when they evaded
patrolling police officers. Surveillance footage led to their detention
and the confiscation of their motorcycles, and the two later confessed
to the crimes. Unfortunately for the offenders, street racing in China once led to a maximum of 15 days of imprisonment, but is now subject to the death penalty.
Um, wow.
