street racing, canada law

Argument against the fact that the Street Racing Law in Canada is unconstitutional?
I am taking grade 11 law and i have a very important debate. I am on the negative side (against) that the new street racing law is unconstitutional.
I have done my research but am still confused.
It seems that their is alot of information on the “for” side of the argument.
Basically what i need is about 10 strong arguments.
I need desperate help as i dont want to get crushed by my oponents.
And maybe a few counter-arguments to the ones they will probably say.
1) Societies have basic responsibilities to all those within its boundaries, and one of those is public safety for everyone, whether they be citizens, visitors, on a work permit, a landed immigrant or even someone illegally in the country. Street Racing is a dangerous activity and therefore laws that are passed by any legislative body, provided they are within their authority, to maintain public safety cannot be unconstitutional, unless by enforcing the law there is a breech of rights that are protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms or any other applicable document.
2) A law can only be deemed unconstitutional if the courts have made a ruling on it. Since no such ruling has occurred, the proposition, in the strictest sense, cannot be true now, although it might be true in the future.
3) What rights are not being protected for those who wish to engage in such activities but are prohibited by the law? Obviously none, so how can a law that prohibits such activity be unconstitutional?
4) If the law is unconstitutional, then so are stop signs, speed limits, no parking zones, one way streets, etc. All these prohibitions are in place to protect public safety. Is not a law that prohibits a race on a public thoroughfare simply a method to maintain public safety?
5) Perhaps opponents might say that street racers have a right to engage in an activity which they enjoy and it should be permitted on this basis. However they are not prohibited from such activity. There are legitimate venues where cars can be raced in an environment that, although unsafe for those racing, is safe for anyone else who does not wish to be put at risk. Therefore their rights are not being breeched.
>>>GOOD LUCK WITH THAT BROTHER!
