I think street racing should be stopped. It does kill people and that is bad.

However, the wording on the law sounds way too loose to not be abused.

And what about other things that kill people? Lets try old people driving. My mom got hit by an old guy going 45 (she was stopped behind a garbage truck.) He couldn't figure out why he had stopped, so he floored it again and hit her going 25. Why does he still have a license?

What about people who kill by talking on cell phones?

What about frikkin second hand smoke? That kills 60,000 people a year (or so the Deparment of health says)

What about drunk drivers?

What about homeless people dying from cold?

So long as the people who don't vote (young people) are affected by a law it will be strict. You know why old people are not cracked down on? Cause they vote, and are active, and will raise a stink if some lawmaker trys to keep there 25mph-in-a-45-zone butts off the street.

Vote. Complain to the politicians. Work to end street racing, and work to end goverment taking over your life with laws that can be applied to anyone who has aftermarket parts on there car.

my 2¢.
