Police in the Polish city of Lodz have introduced a radical scheme to cut the number of accidents involving boy racers.

The police let the boy racers speed through the city on streets that have been specially closed to other traffic.

It's hoped this plan will drastically cut the number of accidents involving young drivers at night by giving them somewhere they can let loose.

The first legal street races have already taken place and the police are encouraged by the results.

"We've come to an understanding with the organisers of illegal street races," says Lech Ryszewski, who is head of the Lodz Motoring Club.

"We have created a Street Legal section to organise races on closed-off public roads and the participants are obliged to make sure no-one organises races on other city streets."
