If you think that there arent people who irresponsable on tracks then you have a very scewed view. And not all "streetracers" go about it in idiotic ways. As long as the person acknowledges they are doing something illegal and they must accept the consequences for it then whats wrong with it. There are plenty of illegal actions people doing everyday that we accept and dont tell cops about, the most prominent being drug use. Don't tell me you dont know ONE person who does drugs...its statistically impossible yet you have never turned them to the cops have you? Please consider all of these things before making statements about the "streetracing crowd"

Hold on, easy now. First off, and disgaree if you must, but racing on the street has no proper way. it simply does not belong. Nobody has complete control over what goes on around them, it has the very real and extremely high potential to endanger and injure/kill others no matter how 'smart' they think they are being and how they 'go about it'. It is always a crapshoot. Streetracing is idiotic, the odds are similar to that of roulette, the worst in the house. And as for the drug user analogy, yeah, I know many, and if they were endangering me or others through their habits (the main difference being that their choices mostly affect only themselves), you bet your ass I would take action whether it was police action or what have you. Simply put racing on the street is flagrant disregard for other people, no matter the location or manner of how its gone about. The consequences of a mishap have much probability to include people that had nothing to do with it. So if that's generalizing too much, I'll live with the fact that I generalize. I've seen too many trauma cases at work due to all manners of auto wrecks to not generalize.
