This study aims to analyze the legal regulations and criminal sanctions against illegal road racing perpetrators in Indonesia. Illegal road racing, which is often carried out by teenagers, not only endangers the perpetrators and the community but also constitutes a form of violation of the law regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ Law). The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and case approach. The results of the study indicate that illegal road racing is specifically regulated in Article 115 and Article 297 of the LLAJ Law, with the threat of criminal sanctions of imprisonment for a maximum of 1 (one) year or a maximum fine of Rp. 3,000,000.00 (three million rupiah). In addition, this action can also be linked to other articles such as Articles 283, 284, 287, and 311 of the LLAJ Law. This study concludes that although regulations have been in place, the effectiveness of law enforcement still requires a comprehensive approach, including preventive and repressive efforts from law enforcement and the active role of the community.
