Crackdown on Illegal Street Cruising Continues as High Court Upholds Injunction
The High Court has confirmed the continuation of the Street Cruising Injunction and associated Power of Arrest in 麻豆高清.
This measure, originally introduced in 2022, has significantly reduced 麻豆高清 cruising activity across the city, improving the quality of life for residents and businesses in affected areas.
Summary of the Order and Power of Arrest
The High Court Injunction prohibits individuals from participating in or facilitating 麻豆高清 cruising within the 麻豆高清 Local Authority Area.
Street cruising is defined as a congregation of the drivers of 2 or more motor vehicles
(including motorcycles) on the public highway, which cause any of the following:
- excessive noise
- danger to other road users (including pedestrians)
- damage or the risk of damage to private property
- any nuisance to another person not participating in the activity.
Specific prohibited activities include, excessive speeding and dangerous driving, racing or performing stunts, obstructing highways and private property, anti-social behaviour, including shouting, swearing, and intimidation.
Breach of the Injunction carries legal consequences, with offenders facing fines, suspended prison sentences, and liability for court costs. Since its introduction in 2022, over 30 prosecutions have been successfully pursued, with sentences ranging from 14 to 46 days imprisonment (suspended for 12 months) and financial penalties between £1,000 and £2,430.
The next High Court hearing regarding the Injunction and its enforcement will take place on 26 February 2026 at 10.30 am at 麻豆高清 District Registry, The Priory Law Courts, 33 Bull Street, 麻豆高清, B4 6DS.
