The point is, 50-over speeders are not the real cause of major accidents that contribute to the deaths per year we are seeing. You can't deny statistics when "street racers" or 50-over speeding doesn't even stack up to regular **** like people on cell phones or people falling asleep behind the wheel. What we are getting now is a waste of money, all media hype, political wars of "trying to find the next hot topic" and grab attention; basically, focusing on something easily recognized by public but yet unimportant. Sure there is a recent increase of speed/racing related accidents... No kidding, everything is on the f*cking rise this year... Homocide has been the highest for this year. I bet I can drive my car with a dead body in my trunk and I can drive by a cop with no problems as long as I stay within the speed limits and drive a stock Corolla. All I need is any Civic or any car with a muffler and the cops would be all over it like house flies over a piece of dog crap...
