BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Police raided illegal racing on Jalan A Yani Km 5 Banjarmasin and secured 22 motorcycles, Antaranews reported.
“Motorists did not have a complete correspondence driving,” said Deputy Banjarmasin Resort Police Chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner (AKBP) W Dwi Ariwibowo here on Tuesday.
He stated, wild race motorcycles secured or held for about one month, then the owner will be given a permission to redeem the ticket.
“Let one month of them (illegal racers) do not use the vehicle. We hope they give up illegal road race,” he said.
“If at any time caught again doing illegal road race, sanctions plus a month, and so if caught several times,” he continued.
During this time, he acknowledges, wild racing on the highway is very annoying and makes other road users get danger, not to mention the safety of the illegal driver himself.
“A lot of complaints about this wild racing action from the public, especially at night after Taraweeh prayers, not only on Jalan A Yani but also at Jalan Brig Hasan Basri, Kayu Tangi Banjarmasin,” he said.
