Cars that are...?

Hello,
When a noun is followed by "that are," do you need to use "the"?

Cars that are fast are likely to be stopped by police.
The cars that are fast are likely to be stopped by police.

I am referring to "cars that are fast," so should I use "the"?
Or is this a general statement so I don't need "the"?
Thank you.
