Illegal? Or just fun?

(1/26) > >>

metro.:
So a few days ago there was a bunch of young people in REALLY nice cars that went racing around a highway loop in the middle of the day. Which is dumb, later at night and no one would have noticed, but anyways, they were going for like an hour before they got caught. They caused no accidents and no one could keep up with them. They all got like $200 tickets and they're cars impounded and licences revoked, but that's it.

So my question is this, should street racing have a harder fine, or does it in your place of residence, and if so what should it be?

i think there licenses should be suspended for at least six months . i mean those guys racing around on the freeways are worse than drunk drivers but they just git a slap on the wrist most the time.
plus most of them are some kid with a rich daddy and git away with too much in the first place.

Saras:
200$ Isn't a lot, you'd probably get your car taken, your license revoked permanentlyand a 500 euro or so fine down here. Anyway, I consider it a stupid practice that ought be dealt with. It doesn't really matter if no one fucks up, but it doesn't take a lot for that to happen and if it does, shit will hit the fan.

There are plenty of unused mountain/valley/forest/dead village roads, track days at a ring, or something else to fuck around in. The highway is a place you need to get the fuck off.

TMRNetShark:
Virginia use to have a $1000 ticket for speeding over 10 mph over the speed limit. I believe they had revoked that law since then though.

As for Street Racing, it needs to be a little more steep. Like if a cop clearly sees a "starter" and two cars are racing down a strip of highway, that needs to be jail time + fine + revoked license for at least a year. Just because you want to have "FUN" on the highway, you endanger other people's lives (let alone your own lives?)?

Speeding tickets: $100-$200 + points
Street Racing: Jail time + $1000 fine + Revoked License

Speeding is understandable (to a degree), but street racing is just dumb.

JoonasTo:
Dumb and fucking fun.  ;D
But yeah, not acceptable. Just come to Finland and get fined 20000€ for speeding with license revoked and jail so... :P
