You are right, there is more risk, TO YOURSELF, on a mountain road. Once again, you think only of yourself and not of the innocent people. On a mountain road, you might screw up and hit one car, but odds are you will wipe yourself out only. On a highway, lets say I-85 in Gwinnett, where 99% of the BP crowd goes to show off their mechanical prowress, your odds of taking multiple people out with you are much greater. Plus, I dunno who the hell you race on the highway but when I see them go down, they aren't going in a straight line. They are weaving in and out of traffic trying to win and thats when **** goes bad. It only takes one person (Not in the race, doesn't know the risk and not looking in their rear view mirror because they weren't informed that a street race was coming their way giving them ample oppurtunity to leave the roadway) to change lanes and it's a multiple car pile up with possible fatalities.
So what are you trying to say here?
