frightening new trend

Because the racetrack requires insurance and charges fees to maintain the track. And all these losers invest all their money in their junk..

 

That.Right.There.

 

Street racing has been around, as long as cars have. It has never seemed to matter to the idiots who do it, that it is illegal and dangerous. It is sort of passed down from generation of idiots to generation of idiots.

 

too bad that semi wasn't up front & he could have plowed thru those dumb as#@$

 

I have had 2 (on different occasions) pass me doing wheelies that lasted well over 2-3 miles and at night! No LEO around, but let one of us have a marker light out, yeah, they are right there!

 

you guys must have grown up mature from birth

i think of some of the crazy things we did and i shudder, but its a rite of passage for young folks to do stupid things

wheelies, endos, donuts, burnouts, etc are all part of growing up (silly yes, but a reality)

and the more challenge, the more the rush

i used to ride a kawasaki ninja, and ran from many a cop...... had i gotten caught, i would have had to pay my dues, but i didnt, and even when i knew guys got killed, arrested, bikes confiscated and the like, that didnt stop me

we have become a society where we depend on cops to answer every problem

i am not blaming the driver, but the rig did run into stopped traffic, what difference would it have been had there been an accident in front of him? stopped traffic is stopped traffic, regardless of why it is stopped

 

its a LOT easier to catch a rig than a bike, most cops will not even begin to chase a bike

 

and been arrested, on sight, and everyone on this forum would blast him for not following the "smith system"

 

fountain avenue in brooklyn was notorious for generations

till the city finally put 6" deep holes in the asphalt to roughen the street
