This is not a rare sight. Two vehicles line-up at a lamp post, challenges
another, and once the green light appears they also remove fast they know.
Illegal street racing is not a new thing. It has been going on since the days of the
Model T Ford. Over the years, the speeds have increased and with the advent of the cell
phones and GPS systems, so has the technology. But the consequences of these
negligent actions have never changed. Thousands of accidents occur each year due to
reckless, aggressive driving on our streets. But the trend continues to grow.
Films like The Fast and The Furious have helped spread the virtues of the street
race. Movies like these do not show innocent people get hurt, but they
portray the characters as misunderstood good with a passion for cars. It is
easier to see how young people are able to accept the idea that street racing
did not hurt anyone when all they see in movies confirms. video
illegal street racing are uploaded to the Web at speeds more than to feed
desires of those who are unable to see the dangers in it.
Racing is not a bad thing. In fact, it is an exciting sport that requires training,
discipline and competence. But the streets are no place for the race. Unfortunately, young
person (the majority are young people) can get into their car, mash the accelerator and drive.
No experience, no talent, no discipline. All this while the innocent drivers use
streets for their day to day.
So what are the solutions. Racing in our streets will never stop, but it can be
reduced. What must be understood is that street racing is a social activity.
People gather in a parking lot, hanging out with friends, challenge someone to a race,
and return to the same parking lot after the race is over. Some cities
recognized this and opened the slip bands for people to race, socialize and
interact. For a small fee, they can prove in a safe, supervised
environment. This is also a great way to integrate local police with participants.
To reduce street racing, local authorities must control. Bigger
fines will not reduce street racing. Hundreds of people died in street racing
in this country and if the possibility of death keeps someone, a fine will not be
either.
Ultimately, we must understand that the only way to reduce street racing is
provide an outlet for which it can occur. Until then, the masses will do what they
know; they will continue to run on our streets.
