By increasing penalties and points assessments, it seeks to deter individuals from participating in these activities and promote safer driving practices.

    ## Potential points of contention


    • Opposition from individuals who engage in street racing or exhibition driving.

    • Potential concerns about enforcement challenges in distinguishing between exhibition driving and other driving behaviors.

    • Discussion around the effectiveness of increased penalties in deterring illegal racing activities.

    • Debate on the impact of these changes on existing traffic laws and regulations.
