So does owning up to the fact that you're screwing up.




There's the problem with your statement. When anyone, including myself, races another car down ANY public street where there is a chance of hurting someone else, an innocent driver, then they are not "just endangering themselves" are they? Are there times when it's LESS likely? Absolutely. But unless you OWN the road you're racing on or at the track where there is no chance of anyone coming the other way......there is ALWAYS a chance to hurt someone else.




Because you have coverage for "street racing"???? So if you're not covered doing something illegal, what's the difference?




Why? The surface is far more even than any public road. They have EMT's sitting there in case something goes wrong. You have people making sure the cars, people, and rules are followed. So what is there to be scared of there as opposed to some dark street behind some warehouse?
The same government who you apparently allow to TELL you what is right and wrong also unjustly makes you pay federal taxes each year. Look that one up and see how "right" it is to follow those laws. Whenever you DRIVE down a public street with other people on it, there are tons of crap that can go wrong. YOUR statement is wrong, because if you are racing it doesn't just magically make it dangerous, where there was no risk before.

And yes, I have coverage on my car if I am speeding, run a redlight, talk on my cell phone, get a BJ, or read a book while driving. If I go to a drag strip and wear all of my safety equipment, then hit a oil spot on the track that sends my car careening into the wall....then no, it's not covered. Also, I don't race my car on dark streets behind a warehouse.

You are taking a situation with a GIGANTIC gray area and making it very black and white. The problem I have with this, is that society focuses on the wrong things that endager people. We harp and harp and harp on how "safe" it is to follow traffic laws, but there is no punishment for being a fucking RETARD. And that is really the issue, more than speeding or racing, or whatever else.
