On the 15th of August, a legal car meet and racing event was hosted by the Street Dreamers motor vehicle club. The event was scheduled with the Vinewood Traffic Division of the Los Santos Police Department, who were present at the event. Our Traffic Officers helped set up the race track to safely guide racers around the docks area of Elysian Island, and maintained peace and order.
The event had a great turnout, and was attended by dozens of citizens in a wide variety of cars. Our Traffic Officers are also into cars, bringing along our high speed units to engaged in the show. Dozens of heats were hosted, with a race between our police high speed units taking up two of the last heats. It was great fun and the Traffic Officers were delighted to be able to take part in, and help make possible, such a great community event.
We would like to thank the Street Dreamers group for setting up and hosting the event. It is important to host legal street competitions to give people an outlet for their racing blood, and in turn deter illegal competitions which are a danger to the public. By setting up the competition legally in cooperation with the Vinewood Traffic Division, everyone attending can be sure that safety standards are met and that no-one is being put at unnecessary risk, while at the same time ensuring that no participants are violating the penal code.
We encourage the community to organize more events like this; if you would like to host an event, please see this release for more information.
