Also i guaranty at some point or another everyone on here has raced, drove like a retard, etc. in less then perfect conditions. Hell, how about the daytime racing vids that get posted every now and again? And who says you only take out yourself and the other car on the highway? How many countless kill stories end with “we were comming up on traffic so we had to slow down” Shit could happen where people couldnt slow down and hit another car. Or even if you crash your car and debrie flies off your car and into the road, that could cause another accident. Hell even when people slow traffic down on the highway so they can go from a lower speed can cause a pile up. Why i agree those kids were retarded for racing in a residential area during the day time, people cant say all kinds of shit about them when they arent angels themselves --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/amherst-teens-race-crash-get-charged/16448)._
