A daring display of reckless driving landed one individual in a 30-day bind with their vehicle impounded and a mandatory inspection with a state referee. According to the Richmond Police Department's social media post, officers on the scene at Chesley Ave and 2nd Street witnessed a driver brazenly performing donuts right in front of them, rapidly drawing their attention and leading to the driver being pulled over.

Investigation into the incident further revealed that the driver was already flouting laws, as his license had previously been suspended due to a DUI. In addition, former Traffic Officers Pagaling and McKinley discovered a series of illegal engine modifications under the hood, and the Richmond Police duly noted that these modifications had slated the car for a state referee's assessment.

This unforeseen automotive infraction has the driver facing a compulsory 30-day wait before they can even schedule their inspection.
