I don't care what people do with themselves.

What bothers me is how they encourage others but, more importantly, put others at risk.

+1. You hit my problem with it exactly. I don't care what your comfort zone is when you stuff me into it without my choice. Those on the road around him also did not accept his risk. I would think everyone on here respects that everyone has different risk levels they're willing to take, and wouldn't intentionally put others at higher risks than they've said they're OK with. At least thats what I choose to think of people here until they say otherwise.

If the road was empty my problem with it would go away completely because then he/she is only endangering themselves. Besides, if you think doing stuff like that on a public road is OK, why do you even care what people posting on a message board think of it? Seems more than a little silly.

My reply was very sarcastic..but not high and mighty. And CentralOzzy - you're totally right. There was an amazing amount of skill there.

Its not as stupid as people who tail you, or try to change lanes and speed up really fast and act like they're driving a race car,, bobing all over the highway changing two lanes at a time .. FREAKING CAGERS> HAD TO AVOID LIKE SIX ACCIDENTS TODAY

People in all vehicles are dangerous.

Look at the number of people who die each year in preventable traffic accidents. The numbers are staggering.

I agree that those are worse and way more prevelant. I don't like them either though.

Yeah, it's totally hilarious!!! I mean, what could possibly be annoying about someone riding 300kph on a public road with traffic on it?

"Officer I was clearly going 299; perhaps some donut crumbs were obstructing the display on the radar." Then of course comes the beating and the taser

Don't forget this guy filmed the entire thing to post on the internet; yeah he's showboating and wants everyone to know how skilled he is.

As I have wasted my breath many times in other posts.....
If you want to go faster than the law permits....
GO TO THE FRIGGIN' RACE TRACK!!!!

You don't have to race cages or endanger lives. You can legally prove how good you are against other racers ON THE TRACK!

I HATE ash-holes (on 2 or 4 wheels) who like to show off how fast they can go on highways and public streets. Don't you people watch the news? Just look at all the heartache and anguish caused by street-racers. If I see street racers, I get licence numbers, etc. and turn them in. No questions asked. If I ever run across a number I have taken, I'll do something drastic to the vehicle.

I like what some of the provinces are doing. If you're caught street racing, you lose your licence, your vehicle is impounded, then CRUSHED.

that is nuts... stupid if you ask me.
