u can use 😳😳

A bill that passed out of committee last week could mean losing your car if you’re caught illegally street racing in certain cities and counties.

On Thursday, the House Judiciary A Committee passed House Bill 1272, a bill that would put additional penalties in place for those caught racing in cities and counties of 25,000 people or more. Under the measure, vehicles would be forfeited to the law enforcement agencies where the violation occurred, and “sold in the matter provided by law.”

The forfeiture would be in addition to other penalties for drag racing, which include fines and jail time, that are already on the books.
