"ahh, at least this is legal". dude, RELAX. its not menacing... menacing is people geting ****ed up by gangs and ****... you ever live in toronto? or do u live in stouffville or one of those hick towns. i hear about more people getting run over crossing the road by the old man in his cadillac than i hear about the "high-speed" Need For Speed street races you are talking about. Ha... it just makes me laugh cause some people are scared of their own shadows...

I did say i "DIDN'T" agree and the way you make it sound is that BAD driving is unintentional. That is very unlikely, as i see more people just too ****ing lazy to look in their mirrors before changing lanes and almost smoking my car in the side. Insurance gets cheaper for old people? WTF is that? They get worse the older they drive... If it makes you feel better to stay in at nigght cuddling with your X-BOX controller playing Need for Speed Underground... telling yourself "at least this is the legal way to street race"
What does what you say have anything to do with what marker wrote??

Street racing is illegal, end of story. Other peoples fears or no fears, gang shootings, and old drivers have nothing to do with street racing.

I am sick and tired of people trying to deflect blame, and bringing up irrelevant issues in an attempt to excuse street racing behaviour. Your choice, your consequence (and sometimes innocent victim). And the parents thing, did your parents know what you were doing at all times??

As I said over and over, I am not deflecting blame... i still disagree with it, but to say things like street racers should rot in hell... common... that just means someone needs to relax...

Let's just say that street racers should rot in the same place impaired drivers do. Both are unnecessary and unacceptable risks on our streets.

DID YOU READ THAT ARTICLE? WATCH THE NEWS? A 7year old girl is now an orphan. Two innocent people killed. After celebrating an anniversary. What do you tell this little girl now? All of this streetracing crap is not needed at all. Like DUI...we need much stiffer penalties.

If america bombed a certain country. you would blame the president.

If a street racer killed a mother. You blame that street racer and whomever is associated with him/her.

Although i know street racing is wrong... none of you can telle me you havent once... i mean comon thats just like me saying ive never touched beer before.. or even a boob..

I know we all may have lost ppl due to racing. i have... and that was their choice to drive their car wrecklessly... if its at the expense of others then.. well thats just the way the cookie crumbled..

So i disagree with the the statement of
"Street racers should rot in hell"
That state ment just says to me you got bored of NFSU.... its a good game.

now im not accusing you of anything... i just disagree with a few points you made.


you want to tell that little girl thats the way the cookie crumbled? thats why her parents are dead?



STREET RACERS CAN ALL ROT IN H ELL

if you cannot accept the statement above....kiss my a$$



RIP to all street racing victims

i've never street raced too... but i've touched beer many many times as well =)

not all enthusiasts would street race, they just mod cars for interests. only kids who are immature and ignore the safety of others' lives would choose to street race because they don't understand the fact that the public road is for public, not for them to perform their own idiotic act. its a joke how they would dump $$$ into their car but not willing to pay the fee for a day at the track.. gay *** and yes i'm very bias and yes i do hate street racers a lot... and yes i do believe those who street race before are stupid and immature, you can fire at me, it is just because i'm mature enough to respect others' lives. fortunately i haven't lost any love ones due to those street racing punks, but i don't wish to see others losing love ones

Just a quick comment on the couple killed the other night. Aparently they were making a left turn on a green light as the 2 cars were racing north and they got t-boned...now ofcourse i am not saying it is not the street racers fault they are 100% guitly and should be locked up for life HOWEVER and i see this every day...friggin impatient people making left hand turns when cars are right in front of them too lazy to wait for a single car to pass by so they can make the turn safely...i see it every day so many close calls by a meter or two...the other night i was driving north on erin mills...as im approaching a light there is a guy at the light waiting to go left (in front of me coming towards me) and as im approaching he decides to go in front of me for no reason and i had to slam my brakes hard not to t-bone him...by the way there was no cars behind me...he had to wait 2 seconds for me to pass so he can turn safely...people are so impatient and STUPID...it really makes me sick...

Also to add...this bull**** with stupid little 17 year old punks in their ****ty cars and the whole police crackdown has pretty much forced me to get rid of my car and buy something stock...non honda because it seems almost to be illegal to drive a friggin honda in mississauga i get pulled over and checked out, hassled all the time for no reason...and one day i will be driving minding my own business (maybe speeding a bit) and some homo cop who is having a bad day will decide that i am racing and i will get thrown in jail and lose my license so u know what **** it it's not worth it...

Gonna get me a nice Audi A4...been coming a while

i know this is a very touchy subject but i agree with this man %100 there are certain people who have never raced on the street but there are ALOT of us on this website that have.like common uve never had a car enthusiast egg you on while driving and you gave in.YOU ARE HUMAN we do make mistakes sometimes very unfortunate ones like racing and killing and innocent person im sure that was not the racers intent but reality never is.like this place used to have zachs backyard or w.e it was called where the few select that started this site used to talk about street racing.street racing will NEVER end i say NEVER i dont care how thick headed some people are they need to understand that as long as people have cars there will be races.we can even watch racing on tv nascar,f1,moto gp,indy yes of course those are sanctioned races but they cant help but get ur temptations to rise a little.

while i agree with street racing is BULLSH!T


i also agree the couple that died are at fault. middle of the night at a major traffic intersection with next to NO CARS there and they were making a LEFT turn.

If anyone here knows about insurance law its automatically their fault because they made the left turn even if the light was green for them. You are to first check both sides of the intersection and on comming traffic before turning. THIS IS SIMPLE MINISTRY DRIVING TEST PROCEDURES. and if you didnt do this on your test you would have automatically failed.

People feel thats its the racers fault they died because high speed was involved but say speed wasnt a factor and the car was driving the speed limit and STILL passed the red light what would have happened then? THEY WOULD HAVE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT REGARDLESS and its simple the reason being the couple that was making the turn didnt check to see if it was safe to do so. YES we know its the guys fault for not stopping but that still wouldnt change the fact that the couple are doing the turn and not the guy.

case closed.

This is all a big media thing because they have nothing else to jump on.. Couple years back it was all
DONT drink and DRIVE and they drove that message home hard.

All im really saying is you shouldnt be judging/classifying ppl based on their "sometimes dumb/silly descisions" were human and we do give in to power....

Dont tell me you swaped a B18 or B16 in your civic just because you wanted to drive below 2500 rpms or... just to make your car "JDM TIGHT YO!'" lol...

this topic is being beaten dead.

all i can say is take it to the track ill give you that much .. but you guys saying Street Racers should rot in hell is just immature.

very valid points, however most people cannot judge speed, so if the couple thought they could go they would have, thinking the car oncomming was doing 60-80km....not 140km/h. still, they should have waited, but at night no less, pretty hard to judge speed in that circumstance.

Sorry don't agree. You going to try to make me believe that what you say is going to overturn the fact they were both doing double the speed limit?

brian seriously please tell me your a better driver then this.
if speed was a factor that should indicate an even better reason for you to not go ahead.

If you watched the news and saw the footage of the intersection you would know this is NOT a small intersection THIS specific intersection was WIDE BIG TIME it gives FULL CLEAR view off ALL TRAFFIC especially at night.

And look at the car it had an exhaust aswell and if those cars are comming double the speed these cars would be ROARING down and if the noise itself wasnt enough to slow then down and make them wait then what should.

Your are simply blinded by media crap. Even right now its EYE WITNESS REPORTS SAY the cars where DOUBLE THE SPEED. You cant prove exactly what the speed was. And what does double the speed have to do with anything when it comes to turning lanes??? If I want to turn and i look at the opposite road to make sure the lane is clear and I see two headlights getting bigger and bigger SOONER THEN what it is supposed to me....GEEE i wonder what that means? THE VEHICLES are travelling faster. This is common sense.

You are right, they cannot tell what speed they were going, but are you agreeing that they were not speeding? If so please tell me or show me that they weren't and that it was totally the couple's fault, because unless the laws of physics have changed, I do not believe that the end results of the accident was caused by doing the speed limit.

If you read my initial post you will see i agree that speeding WAS a factor.
BUT that is DEFINATELY NOT THE ONLY FACTOR in the DEATH OF THESE PEOPLE.


Waaaay to many things come into play ie. The speed the other car was travelling, the position of impact, the way the couple were seated, the size of the vehicles in play etc etc.....

I have talked to people who have been in accidents where you can no longer tell what kind of car it was because thats how mangled and messed it is and they walked away with broken bones or brusises etc however still NO DEATH.

At the same time i have heard of people dying over an accident that I would consider a minor cosmetic damage to a vehicle.

Waaay to many factors are involved behind an accident.

Prime example: Look at notorious' car and himself. If you read his post he is saying how he is so messed up right now and he went unconcious and all that crap and this is at 40km impact or less. And look at the car next to no damage. I have been in an accident at 110 km per hr and walked out of the car only to bitch at the guy.
