Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Announce Street Racing Confiscations

Charlotte Mecklenburg Police say they have cited five drivers and confiscated five vehicles in connection with reckless driving and street racing.

The action came over the weekend, following multiple complaints and widespread news coverage about street takeovers and dangerous driving.

Police also say they have issued nearly 60 citations, confiscated a total of 17 vehicles, and made six arrests since the beginning of February, all related to street racing and dangerous driving.

Reckless driving also led Charlotte Cars and Coffee organizers to postpone their monthly event "until further notice."  Read that story here.

WSOC-TV says multiple cities in North Carolina have been named the best places to drive in the United States. Ok, that may not seem right, but it's true.

According to a new report this week from WalletHub, three NC cities were ranked in the top five places to drive based on driver behaviors and local infrastructure. Charlotte made the top 30. It came in at number 26.
