Murder implies intent, it won't go for murder.

[DEATH]

No sh*t - I was gonna say it's not right for them to brought up on murder charges - they didn't force the woman to street race. Pretty damn stupid people all around tho.

Murder implies intent, it won't go for murder.

murder = homicide

causing death by street raicing = reckless homicide --- roughly 2-8 years in jail

therefore, murder is technically accurate.....but I know what you mean.

Bottom line, the driver(s) will do serious jail/prison time.

What a waste. Don't street race. (Safe stoplight pulls when you are next to mustang fanboys are ok, though. )

Why /thread? The pregnant woman driving was racing too. Unbelievable that someone would not only put other people in the car at risk like that, much less any innocent bystanders, but her unborn child? Man, sometimes people just blow me away. I just don't get it, I really don't. The people in the 3rd car fleeing the scene, too. People have no sense of accountability any more it seems. I hope they're caught.

[x_itchy_b_x]

I was just implying that women cant drive. I always picture them getting in a car, starting it, and then WOT into the nearest object.
but, I'm just messing around. YOU are proof, that theory is out the window. street racing is stoopid.

[Akirad1]

we are all guilty of it at one point, but save it for the track. spend $50 to race on a track(dont know if this is a real figure) or spend 100 to thousands in fines and jail time.

[GriffGirl]

I can't drive worth a damn, I just play one on TV! (maybe we can't drive 'cause we're distracted by actually asking for directions LOL)

This is why car enthusiasts always get hassled by cops. Because of street racing idiots. Yeah, I don't care who you are. You brag about that $#!T around me and I am going to chew your @$$ out so bad that you are either not going to want to do it anymore out of feeling stupid, or you are going to get really offended and want to kick my @$$. But I feel that if you got something to prove, you do it on the track. No sense in money spent safety of others, and the privilege to drive at risk for someone who can care less what happens to you. Besides, if your interest is impressing other men, and you are a man..... You might want to put you sexuality in check and think out your actions out again.

Now play nice.

That was pretty dumb. What irresponsible twits. Its a good thing she removed herself from the gene pool the only problem was that she took innocent people with her.

Although street racing is bad, there should be at least 3 rules of street racing (for those stupid enough to get involved):
1) When you race, you race alone.
2) If you get groceries with it, its not a safe race car.
3) If you're pregnant or have dependents you should not be street racing.

that woman broke all 3

Feel free to amend the rules

also alone on the street aka vacant or abandoned roads lots that way no innocents

x2, 3, &4.

although, i have to admit, that the day that my wife looked at me (when she was prego) and said "it's time", I think that car moved alot faster than any dyno chart can prove

Not endorsing speeding or anything, but the police officer that followed me for a while only shook my hand and said congrats.

Although we've all heard my spew on street racing and how not everyone is in the "fast and furious" mindset. It's just retarted. Goto the track where everyone IS in the racing mindset

I like that amendment because it points most towards windy country roads and desert roads.

[Akirad1]

yeah that way if they mess up it could be fatal so they might be more wary of actualy doing it in the first place

[GriffGirl]

I'll take you up on that amendment too.

Although street racing is bad, there should be at least 3 rules of street racing (for those stupid enough to get involved):
1) Don't bother doing it. It's just stupid and really just says "yeah, my **** is little"
2) If your judgment is so poor as to allow you to think it's a good idea to actually engage in, then your judgment is too poor to allow you to assess a situation to be safe or unsafe.
3) If you're still an asshat and still think it's a good idea as a way to appease your burning need to prove your worth, take it to a track.
all of the people involved broke all 3

Feel free to amend the rules

True however, for rice rocket pilots its more of a matter that they will wreck their car. Around here there's a lot of windy roads, I happen to be surrounded by them. I've been able to hit a maximum speed of like 90km/h before having to slow down again for a hairpin or a tight 2nd gear corner. I know people who have gone faster and ditched their car. Hell, I've even wrecked a car driving on them at the speed limit in the rain. Its pretty technical and pretty tough to actually race on.

There's less of a chance that they will go as fast as the people in this story must've been going because they know they have to take the next corner and that the roads are riddled with bumps or are even unpaven. But its probably the least fatal place to race, if you're ever going to race.

The desert though... I can imagine that would be fatal. If you hit a bump and rolled the car around a bit, it would be ages until people found your body, but of course its a straight line so kids with 600BHP hondas will go there and systematically remove all the ricer-genes from the gene pool.

I'll take you up on that amendment too.

HAHAHAHA agreed. However I am going to assume all of these people couldn't even afford the track fee. Hell their cars are probably being paid with welfare cheques

Can we please stop with theses street racing posts? Your acting like street racing is the worst possibley thing you could do. There are alot of things worse. why dont you post threads about how druggies are idiots? or Murdering a family member? i mean you probably see street race related deaths in the news about 5 or 6 times a year if that. we all understand strret racing is bad. but some of us dont do it to be cool. Im going to be honest. on occation i race. but i do it with no one in the car but me and late at night. i dont care if any of you think less of me. im the same person. Im sure all of you have done something bad like that in your life. Your acting like street racers are the most horrible people in the world. in my area some of them are the nicest people ive met. its just something they do. we dont do it on small 2 lane roads with cars parked ont eh side. they are all more open and plenty of room for error. So yes street racing isnt the smartest thing to do but posting threads like this isnt gonna make people stop doing it. so why waste time? if you hate racers so much then go talk to your damn mayor and sort sh!t out with him. Love me or hate me.
