What are your opinions on street racing?

[Anonymous]

Im not a street racer but i have a friend who street races. He says it for an adrenaline rush and doesn't do anything too risky. Thoughts?

[Qdbrown]

It's dangerous, but exciting. For small burst and smoking tires. Not actually drving fast as too much can happen on lonely roads. Cars pulling out and things flying out into the road including kids on motor bikes and people doing stuff they shouldn't be doing.

Best find a track or safe place away from traffic. I have seen a lot of narly wrecks where people raced around traffic and either hit cars that didn't see them coming while changing lanes or just losing control and slamming into cars and dividers.

I think they're idiots for putting lives in danger. seen too many news stories of bystanders getting killed because Chad wants to showoff to his stupid girlfriend.
I secretly hope they crash and burst into flames. hate cocky dudes

[Asker]

I see your point, but the people you are describing are real street racers. In the unwritten rules of street racing, you can't have passengers.

[Asker]

aren't*

[Opinion Owner]

yeah well rules are meant to be borken

and you think showoffs care about the rules? lmao

[Asker]

well you say rules are ment to be broken and there's a rules saying you can't street race.

[Opinion Owner]

there's also rules saying you can't J walk but everyone does it

[Opinion Owner]

thanks for MHG.
hope you understand where I'm coming from..

[courtney06]

Personally I wouldn't do it. I'm okay with people street racing as long as they are responsible and far away so innocent people aren't hurt.

[Asker]

Agreed, its a victimless crime

[Agape93]

It’s fucking stupid. Imagine running someone over and killing them because you want to drive fast for fun

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I used to do street races when I was younger. Had a few rich friends so we'd take out all sorts of cars for me to drive in. It's a lot of fun but it can be risky and you're not surrounding yourself with talented people who take the sport of auto racing seriously. So it got kinda boring to me after a while.

I still love to take a car down a winding road and pull off some sick drifts though hahaha. I miss those days but you gotta either grow out of it or get rich enough to not care if you're caught. So far as crashing into stuff, that's all about practice, minimally maintaining your ride, and actually being mindful of your surroundings.

[ChrisMaster69]

It’s banned in a lot of the UK thank fuck.

it’s invariably Chav ‘s with shit cars, or fuckwits with high bhp cars they can’t drive properly.

unfortunately, those fuckeirs, mean the rest of the petrol heads, can’t have drive outs or large meet ups in certain areas.

A lot of carnage on the roads.

basically scum with cars.

[Asker]

This is the most bri ish thing I've ever read 😂

[ChrisMaster69]

Lol, I’m a petrol head and their chav antics killed drive outs, it really pisses me off lol

[Asker]

I've never met a car guy who doesn't street race

[ChrisMaster69]

I go to the track.

If you lived in the UK, you would realise it’s the lower end of society that do it.

Invariably people with proper cars will do track stuff or drives to places like ale Mans, or the Ring

[Asker]

I see, in america street racing is what unites everyone of all economical backgrounds and races. Thats why i personally like it. And I live in Los Angeles so there's no races track for at least 50 miles.

[ChrisMaster69]

If you think of someone that puts plastic bits on their car and thinks they make it go faster that’s the type.

I currently have a Stage 2 VW Golf R and a BMW M4 (was stage 2) and should be picking up a new M4 next week.

[Asker]

Sick, i want a golf r one day

[ChrisMaster69]

I am trading my M4 in next week for new model M4

[ohshee]

I absolutely love it but I love it so much and it's against the law people you can do it the right way to make it safe to always and always have an ambulance and a fire truck right then and there because you never know what's going to happen when you are talking about that much horsepower with two cars side-by-side anything can happen that's what makes it exciting that's what makes a powerful but what makes it even better is doing it safe with rules and guidelines

[ThisAndThat]

He'd better watch out. Street racing is a felony in some states I believe. But it's not the felony that he should be worried about the most. Taking innocent lives it what he should be worried about. If someone were to suddenly pull in front of him he'd never stop in time not to mention losing control. In short, he has selfish thinking only considering himself and not others. The simple answer is just don't do it.

[Leavesbound]

This is a dangerous and illegal activity that should be avoided at all costs. I live in Florida and not far from me someone died doing this a few weeks ago. If I saw you doing this I would call 911 and report you.

[themythos]

Checkout the "no need for speed" police investigation. Just happened the other week near Lakeland

[exitseven]

I never had fast car. I mostly drove trucks but I used to know a couple of hot rod guys. We had a quarter mile run in the next ton that everyone used.

[Outofthegrey]

It depends on a person's definition of street racing.

The strict definition, it's very irresponsible and dangerous.

Simply "speeding", depends on the context of doing it.

[themythos]

I've raced before it's fun and challenging but also too risky, police in my area just arrested 30 drivers.

[mizakazim6996]

It’s alright as long the driver can drive. I used to do it a lot in my 20’s and never gotten into an accident but I’ve seen so many stupid drivers who can’t drive and street races and gets others hurt in the process

[jgokgotit]

Not a fan. My county's coroner's office currently has 21 people dead from street racing that have yet to have their funerals.

[Toast792]

Definitely would like to try it someday, so long as it's away from populated areas, so no one gets hurt..

[TadCurious]

It's very dangerous to the public as well as the idiots doing it. They should hopefully be arrested and prosecuted.

[DCooper]

Just take it to the actual quarter mile drag strip on the weekends. It's senseless to risk it on public roads.

[kingofthellamas]

I guess much depends on where he's doing it. I'm in England and really could not think of a single road it would be safe on. That said I've spent time in France and Boston and could name a few there.

[Redstang88]

I’ve done it, it’s dumb, it’s always risky
”Racing” the old shitboxes most people have at your age is a bad enough idea, but doing it anything with anything legitimately fast is plain dumb

[ItsTheNephilim]

Risky but sounds awesome. Especially because we don't have it here.

[DaveToo]

Stupidity. If you don't have the balls to take your aggressions out on a race track, don't take them out on public roads.

[luvstoned4him]

as long a its minimal risk.. sure. He better be a great driver

[Anonymous]

i love it. fuck the haters. they have no balls. They got the best party scenes depending where you go

[Wise4myage]

If it could be done legally on a race track, than I would be all for it. But I think its stupid to be doing it on the street. I get the adrenaline rush though.

[jasco]

I mean yea its fun, very fun and it gives you a taste of what your really made of and how much care you put into your car. At the end of the day its just to risky

[mike5150]

Two friends from high school died in a street racing accident.

[Anonymous]

Street races overestimate their abilities and intelligence.
Most of them should have handlers, nap times and group trips to the park.

[Dchrls78104]

It's a dangerous "sport" that should not be attempted. One of my coworkers lost his brother to an accident caused by street racers.

[sheikalana]

Too dangerous. Not worth risking someone's life like that.

[Anonymous]

Fucking hate it. I’ve been to many auto fatalities involving street racing and idiots who do doughnuts in the middle of intersections.

[OfDeath]

It poses a danger to both the participants and innocent road users and pedestrians. They should hire a race track.

[OddBeMe]

Stupid. life threatening. meaningless to life. need more?

[Anonymous]

I think that they should be charged with murder if anyone gets killed

[slatyb]

I take my car to a track when I want to go fast.

[Asker]

Nice, i love the track, but I've only been their once😔

[lucyloo76]

Stupid. noisy. and dangerous.

[ChefPapiChulo]

The faster the better

[JosyJosy]

A rush but also extremely stupid. Did it once

[cnhinton]

Loud idiots preventing me from sleeping

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Stupid. Someone can get seriously hurt or killed..

[msc545]

Dangerous and stupid.

[ello2021]

I think street racing has passed it's time.

[Kingofkings1992]

Stupid. This isn’t the movies, it’s real life.

[Anonymous]

To me it’s kinda tacky

[TheSpaceGnome]

It's stupid.

[_no_one_]

I live jdms

[JohnGarcia]

Dangerous.

[Anonymous]

I personally love it

[Waldoe]

Stupid
