On TV tonite, on I believe it was Houston Medical, they showed what happened with a street race infront of a highschool, and the end result: 2 totaled cars, 3 kids thrown out of a car, 2 kids in the hospital, one in a grave...I quote "It's stupid people who have to see whose car is faster that take away something that they can never give back" it was terrible....

Thrown from their car? Guess they weren't wearing their seatbelts, let's give the parents a round of applause on that one.

Take a look at those pics that were posted earlier today (topic deleted) and everyone will be wearing their seatbelt.

On Houston Medical.... It was a reenactment to show high school kids the dangers of drinking & driving. Not an actual crash & not about street racing. I do think that street racing should have been played up though. It really seems like it is something that is not properly addressed to kids or even adults.
Innocent people get killed by that every day. A few months ago in Dallas there was a mother & child killed by a street racer (man in his 40's) The woman & her family had just left a war torn country, they risked everything to leave, they found a church to take them in & help then & 3 days or so later the woman is in the front yard of the house she is staying in & some idiot races a kid & looses control of his truck & kills her & her child. We take so much for granted... I will not ever forget her & her struggles. She may be a stranger but I will do everything I can to learn a lesson from her death.

if you want to race take it to tracks, in the long run it will be cheaper.
no speeding ticket,court cost, loss of licence and other stuff, ya still run a change of gettin injured but at least you are not gonna endanger inoccent by-standers.
