LOS ANGELES —The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Oct. 19 to explore making it illegal to encourage, promote, instigate, assist, facilitate, aid, or abet a street race or reckless driving exhibition.

The idea for the ordinance—which would be modeled after one adopted by San Jose—was introduced by Councilman John Lee.
