Racing on the road is just asking for trouble.

If the person that you are racing crashes and dies/kill someone, you'll be looking at 5 years inside.

Happened to someone on here a few years ago.

I was surprised when he told me what he does on the side as he looked like he had a ruff night and had a woolly hat on all day, I looked him up on a old thread you started I think and was very surprised how good he scrubbed up

thats a moment of real stupidity and sadly these things will continue to happen! How many times do we read on these forums about people racing their car and either brag about it have a moan because they got owned by a turbo diesel! At the end of the day a car is only as good as its driver and many young drivers seem to think they are invincible when they get in a Subaru

You'd have to be drunk to drive like that on a busy road....

Still a sad loss of life.
