    so hows it the racers fault if the dumfuck lady merges into them, sounds like even if they were doing the speed limit, they had the right of way. just cause theyre speeding next to eachother now its ok for her to break the rules of the road and merge INTO them?

    fuck cops. we all know to make our mods easy to take off now, so we just get reffed, pay 12 bucks for the fixit, and come home and put the shit back on, and now since we just passed smog, we dont have to worry about it for 2 years from that date.

    im going to run for governor, and delete the smog regulations and make street racing legal and make it to where if you impede a streetrace, you are the one at fault. give streetracers the right of way at all times. thall be a hoot. so vote4me if you want to race.

    Racers fault because they were racing :D Although she might have been partially at fault for pulling out in front of them, the fact remains if they weren't going 80-90 mph then the accident would most likely have been avoidable. If they were going the speed limit, it would be an easy win, in court. Since they were committing a crime in the process of hitting her and killing her, it pretty much ensures they are guilty no matter what stupid move she did on the roadway. The death of her is especially incriminating against the racers. Major difference is that the racers committed a crime while the woman might have committed a simple infraction.

    yeah, so now instead of them hitting her at 90, they wouldve hit their breakes and still creamed her. thats why i hate the law, she was the one who fucked up, had she not merged into them, the situation would not have happened.

    If they were going the speed limit and not committing a crime then she would still be alive and it would be her fault.

    I don't agree with the way they are trying to solve the problem, they're profiling performance enthusiasts, many of which have cars that run better and emit less pollutants than stock, however, I don't care if she DID pull out in front of them, unless you're going to I5, or some other very fast moving freeway, you have no business doing 90 on a public road, furthermore, who's to say that she didn't see the cars in the distance, guage that there was enough room for her to get over and up to speed, and not realize they were doing 90 miles an hour? Sometimes when you're taking a quick glance before merging, or turning, you can't tell a car is flying. This is just another reason street racers are stupid: a lot of them don't give a shit if they're on a busy residential street, don't adequately survey the possible dangers... there's too many cars on the road now to be street racing. 20+ years ago it was different, there wasn't nearly as many people out driving all the time. We have too many tracks available for people to be street racing, and I don't give a shit if you have to drive an hour to get to a track... if more people would GO to the tracks, then it would be cheaper to go, and there would be more springing up closer to those that want to use them.

    I almost died at a buck-twenty in a cavalier (yes, it really did go that fast, I think there was a tailwind, and I was going downhill) because a deer jumped out into the road. There was no traffic, it was 2 in the morning, and I'd driven that road at those speeds a million times in my charger, the hornet, my cavalier, etc... it just takes one little change in conditions to kill you, and I learned my lesson... I just wish everyone else didn't have to cause such carnage to learn theirs... cause most people don't survive wrecks like that. Keep it on the track.

    no, fuck that. i did that a few times, commuting to the track, 1.5hr drive there and back to get 3 runs in over a 5 hour period of time? i dont think so. it will be cheaper, but theres already too many people that go, and you dont get to run much. i dont care if it costs me 30 to get in, but the 60 bucks in gas, and 5 hours of boredom with maybe a minute of actual in car racing time isnt worth it just to get some numbers. if i want to know how fast my car is, ill just hit the gas.
