Default Good article on street racing

BE CAREFUL on the roads, if not to keep car insurance rates lower, than to keep your life!

There's no database tracking street racing deaths, but a Google search hints at the scope. Police say a 21-year-old man was killed while street racing in Copiague, New York, on January 6; a Texas City, Texas, teen killed in late December racing his best friend; a 60-year-old Bakersfield, California, grandmother killed in an accident with street racers in October; a 15-year-old boy killed in an accident with street racers in Elk Grove, California, in June. Those cases are found just in the first 30 matches on a Google search of "street racing deaths."
Google any other type of specific vehicle related death and you'll get the same once every two month happening, probably in less than 30 matches. No big deal. I'd worry more about the stupid drivers that cause vehicle deaths every hour.

Yea street racing causes death just like anything...

Just like smoking, just like taking over the counter drugs, just like being a moron and not knowing HOW to drive in the first place.
