Ridiculous
CAR CRUISING INJUNCTION IN PLACE – A Car Cruising Injunction is in place across the whole of #Birmingham, #Solihull and the #BlackCountry.
Motorists prepared to put people’s lives at risk by racing on our roads need to accept they may well end up in jail.
The High Court order bans people from taking part in car cruising, including speeding, racing and driving in convoy, performing stunts and causing an obstruction on a public highway.
The High Court order – secured by us alongside Birmingham City Council – now gives us additional powers to take offenders to court.
The order – which runs until October 2019 – means anyone caught racing or joining unauthorised vehicle rallies on the city’s streets will be held in contempt of the ruling and can be put before a judge.
It spans the whole of #Birmingham and also covers wider anti-social motoring like riding in convoy, performing stunts, or revving engines, blaring horns and playing loud music at vehicle gatherings.
Anyone found in contempt of the court order could be jailed for up to two years.
Signs have been put up at the roadside on hotspot routes, including the A47 Fort Parkway, A38, A45 and city centre ‘Middleways’, warning drivers about the Injunction. There are no excuses.”
