Death by Boy Racer

[Headbanger]

There is the rest of the country of course.

There are car clubs and orginised events all across the country.

That aside, fuck em, No one owes the fuckers anything. You don't see gun owners firing their weapons in the street because no one built them a gun range.

A lot of vehemence towards the boy racers here. Are motorcyclists popping wheelies on the public road equally reprehensible? Or does the (possibly) lessened danger to other motorists negate this?

What gets me is that in either case, if nothing else, surely you can find portions of the public road less inhabited. It says a lot that people are so stupid as to try these maneuvers anywhere a mother and child might possibly be. What's next, drag racing in school zones?

I make no excuse for their antics, but there seriously needs to be off-the-road areas for them. We have organised track days, whats available for them?

Steve

The fucking death pit.

[Coldrider]

And some do, so what's your point again? Mine was that some may choose not pay the price of admission to the track, because they spend it on other things.

you raised the point about alcohol, RETARD.

I heard about the crash on my scanner, the informant called 111 and said that one kid was dead. Before you say that all people who drive 'modified' cars are bad people, how many of you ride motorbikes irresponsibly on public roads? A 250kg bike travelling at 150kmh is going to kill any person it hits.

I've said it before, but here'tis again. They don't want to be on a track out in the country where they aren't disturbing anyone. They want to be seen. That's why they hoon round town. That's why they are called boy racers. Do not get them confused with car enthusiasts. And yes there are motorcyclists who are no better as well.

[SMOKEU]

None of you know what actually happened. I know it is a very tragic set of circumstances, but you are all making assumptions on what you have seen in the media, which is only part of the story. I know for a fact that there were other vehicles involved in this crash; a Galant which ran a red light and a Commodore.

I did, and blow off valves, as did someone else along with party pills and unpaid traffic fines. Further to my point is that even if many of the drivers don't drink, a lot of their groupies do. The clowns in that chopped up civic claimed they didn't drink alcohol either, and successfully denied it right until they hit that wall. Are you going to put your hands on your hips and stamp your feet now?

Thanks to your post we have established that I raised the point about alcohol, and we established that you think I'm a capitalised retard. Let's wait and see what the blood alcohol of the driver comes back at before we call each other names, shall we?

You compared alcohol to the cost of admission to the race park. nothi ng more, no stuff in stuff about alcohol, purely you making up fantasies.
I stated not all boy racers drink alcohol, and that would be more of a fact wouldn't it.

It could have been worse.

He could have used an exclamation mark.

This man says it all right here! This is why my highly modified BMW only gets a thrashing at Manfeild, a couple of times a year for Intermarque Sprints. The rest of the time it's driven sensibly on the public road

Oh, and strangely enough, the "boy-racers" in Wellington are so frightened of losing their cars + licenses that they only congregate in spots known only to them, mostly out of the way of the majority of the public. In fact Wellington boy-racers seem to do all their stupid stuff in safe(r) places, apart from the tools who race around the basin in town. But they are a minority, and mostly frowned upon... The majority are trying to clean up their act (maybe they're all just getting old? )

fixed thanks

Not a good story is it? But it was a manslaughter not a motive murder. So I bet he'll be shit scared right now, probably thinking of suicide at his age.

Feel sorry for both sides.

But after reading countless posts on this site about speeding, anyone would think speed didn't kill??!!
