That's point we are trying to make. There are too many variables to street racing. Most of the time it isn't the racers that get hurt, it's innocent people.

In California, A first conviction on a street racing violation means: Minimum county jail sentence of 24 hours and maximum of 90 days. Vehicle probably impounded for at least 30 days. Owner responsible for vehicle's towing and storage charges ($1,000 or more). If owner fails to pay, vehicle could be sold at a lien sale. Anyone who aids or abets a street race also faces a maximum 90-day jail sentence.

San Diego has passed an ordinance that has been upheld in the appellate court that makes it illegal to be a spectator to a street racing event.

Yet, many still try and defend their activity with that tired "we were careful" crap.

California seems to lead the nation in many areas.A number of years ago while visiting our daughter in California my wife and I walked into a restaurant and said "two non smoking" They then asked us what state in the east were we from?NJ finally passed the non smoking in restaurants a couple of years ago.

Whether racing on public highways or DUI, the penalty should be the same IMHO.

His car looked destroyed in the pictures I saw. I don't think he slowed down much at all. If he slammed his brakes to stop I'm sure the police would mention skid marks. Sounds like inattentive driving, which normally places the driver of that car liable.

California has all kinds of crazy stuff. I don't think I have ready anything other than a water bottle that doesn't say, "has been known to cause cancer according to the government of California" but Aren't they putting it on water bottles soon too?

Brackett will be sentenced March 28. He faces up to 50 years in prison, or possibly life if prosecutors are successful in having him declared a habitual offender.

Driving while intoxicated + fatal accident + leaving the scene of the accident + evading police + 3 priors = 50 years.

I think that is a valid equation. I hope it happens.

I have priors only 2 car related, I know I'm just a kid and to you thats all I'll ever be. But which would you rather drive with : a bunch of old people that drive 40 mph in a 70, or a bunch of kids that do 80 in a 70?

My father always told me "the older they are the more experience they have"

The problem with driving near a bunch of kids doing 80 in a 70 is they are too inexperienced. Just my opinion

That happened not too far from me. The latest news is the white car was racing with his headlights off. At first they thought the driver was just driving down the road right after two cars took off to race and because of the smoke from the cars burning out, he couldnt see well.
