I can't stand how people get preacy about something like this either.
In general, How come society feels the need to blame the action rather than the person? The Least Common denominator in all these cases is stupidity, which usually goes hand in hand with making mistakes.

Anything, including street racing, is as safe or as dangerous as the parties involved choose to make it. They both had the choice to back out at any time during the whole ordeal.

Two people on an empty road isn't all that different from being on the track, other than a helmet and an ambulance on standby, which 99.99 perecnt of the time, don't help. There's always that .01% which is comprised of stupidity and/or freak incidents beyond any bit of normal control, and this was not the latter.

It's a shame innocent parties were involved here,

agreed 100%

[wsirianni]

im not gonna lie ive street raced multiple times in the past but and now that ive seen that video im gonna slow down a bit it just never occurs to u when ur in a race that all it takes is for one thing to go wrong and when it goes wrong it goes wrong big time.... im out im slowin the hell down and takin it to the track.... couldnt imagine if i had to get that call and the person hurt was a family member....

[Instigator1225]

Street racing get a bad rep due to the retards who watch the F&f movies. If the general population was a bit smarter you probibly would never hear about street racing.

[enigma]

Mistakes happen all the time, its just a matter of the 5w's that determine the outcome of those mistakes.
The difference between a puckered asshole, and a deadly accident is a chance.

[Keeper1343]

I don't see how the driver is responsible for that dumbass crossing into on coming traffic... If anyone of us get caught drag racing, they just fine the **** out of us and take our license. But since some ****tard crossed over the line, the other guy is held responsible for the others actions???? righttttt. Thats like me telling you to jump off a bridge and u do it, then charge me with murder. The only time they make a big deal about it is when there are crashes. Once there is a crash, the Law thinks they have to show off to the public. I ask this question.... Why the **** am i responsible for someone elses actions??? I am only responsible for my actions. I was drag racing. I was driving wrecklessly, carelessly, and didn't care about the loss of human life at the time. But I am not responsible for someone else.

You young guys talk all this talk about it wont happen to me or im safe while i race etc... let me tell you from a career tuner. 38 and been in it from 16 hell my first car was at 14. It doesnt matter about your driving skill or lack there of. I can vouch most of the guys who think they can drive cant. We find that out all the time at the Redline Events. Even still. I have seen some of my friends crash hard at speed due to mechanical failure. Tire casing over heats and bang, rear cv joint busts, bang instant right turn into wall at 80 plus. tie rod snap, rod end failure, etc.... it happens so fast. my formula atlantic injury happened so fast but i still live with the daily pain in my back due to slamming my tailbone into the ground at 100 mph plus. its the fact as we get older, have families etc... we understand what it would be like to go to work and not ever see your wife or kid again and know its due to something like this. All im saying is be careful. We had a street racing death a few weeks ago here. A guy racing a supercharged civic, back road, hills and a pole. Didnt work out for him too well... I still get the urge all the time. I just look the other way and keep driving.

I think a lot of people missed some of the point to this video. 2 cars in a street race, if one driver crashes (on his own, even) and dies, the other driver can be held accountable for it, because he wouldn't have been racing by himself.

And to the people who think it's ok if it's just you, and another driver willfully putting themselves in danger, what if a pedestrian runs out into the road unexpectedly. What if a child on a bike wanders out and gets hit. Was it his fault for getting in the way? What if you crash, who is responsible for paying the property damage? What if someone on the ambulance crew gets hurt trying to rush out to save your ass?

You can't predict random chance variables in life. What if that tie rod snaps in some random freak way, and your car does a right turn into the other car or a building or house. Tracks are designed to help minimize those chances. The street was not intended to be that way our there would be white painted tires bound up on all the streets to protect your ass.

It's like texting while driving, driving tired, or just breaking any driving law. You are willingly putting yourself and others in danger for a little fun, but no one ever wants to be held responsible.

[Racersky]

I'm not gonna lie either....when I was younger I would street race all the time and now I just can't stop learning the concepts of time attacking at the track. Like what everyone says nowadays if you race take it to the track....

[Instigator1225]

this whole thread makes me lol... hard.

thing is driving like that on a high way doesn't constitute street racing. Street racing is a 1/4 mi drag period. It's not a circuit, its not weaving in and out of traffic. If anything that video demonstrated a slalom with moving cones (the cars).

Plus those guys were asshats.

[TooFizzle]

On a deserted road at night with everybody at the start line, sure it's fine. But weaving in and out of traffic and onto the oncoming traffic lane in the midday is the stupidest thing you could do.
