One more post like this and I swear I’m going to find out who you are and report you for street racing.
It’s Squeeze Benz.
If you don’t know it’s a YouTuber, who has made some crazy street racing videos or just plainly inciting the police to chase them in Lambos and stuff.
Neither.
This is not a question with a single answer out of two.
One could even argue that illegal street racing is worse, since it does not require the use of substances that affects your judgements, and you still do it.
But both shows a complete disregards for other people’s safety.
The public roads are not a playground, if you want to race, find a track, if you want to try and drive drunk, arrange it on private, fenced off land.
Why are you still trying to get people say that street racing is OK ? You tried several times, framed the question many ways, and are reduced to comparing it to another terrible selfish behaviour to try and have a smidgen of validation… That’s kind of sad actually, when you ask questions, you should have the courage to face any answer, not just the one you wished for, and respect that
I’d say drunk driving because it’s more common and results in more deaths.
illegal drunk street racing
Both are proper fucking bad. Take your car to a track, autoX or whatever (if possible) or buy the slowest possible car and take it to a backroad where you can see the road ahead and learn to go as fast as possible around a corner. Don’t fucking do anything dumb around other people, I don’t care if you kill yourself but I will care if you kill some innocent person. And drunk driving, that I won’t even comment on.
But a question to you, why are you hellbent on streetracing?
DD, how is this even a question?
There’s nothing wrong with big breasts 🥵
Because OP wants to justify their illegal street racing.
Wild to pick designated drivers as the worst option here.
I thought he was blaming Dunkin’ Donuts. Sure the quality dropped off but they’re not THAT bad.
DD was always inferior to Timmy Hoes.
Both have fallen so far from what they used to be I stopped going to either. Einstein Bagels is my go to these days.
Based upon the negative impact to society: Drunk driving and it’s not even close.
That is not to say that illegal street racers deserve any kind of award. They are a special kind of fucking idiot. They just don’t tend to kill as many people. Back in my teens, I was one of those fucking idiots. Until I witnessed a girl, about my own age, being struck and killed by a street racer.
That was the last time I ever raced on the street. I still raced, I just took the time to get my licenses and spent the money to do it on a track. Honestly, once you race on a track you realize just how stupid street racing really is on so many levels.
Exactly 🤘 tracking your car is so much more rewarding than street racing. Not only does it get the adrenaline going, but the feeling of beating your pb/friend is absolutely amazing 👌
No such thing as street racing here, so it’s drunk driving.
Illegal street racing, being more of a calculated act, seems marginally worse morally. Of course it goes without saying that’s not to defend drunk driving.
Because no one makes the decision to drive somewhere, get hammered, and then drive home? Calculated or not, it’s still a decision being made. Both are dumb decisions that can and do kill people.
Where did I say anything that implied otherwise?
Illegal street racing being more preemptive and calculated is more immoral, unless they block the road to be certain of clear road, but drunk driving is overall worse as they are less in control.
There’s also that drunk driving is usually lone participation, so there’s only one nutter involved.
But yes. Regardless of whether one is worse than the other, they’re both terrible and doing neither is the best option.
By analogy, I’ve invented a limb-chomper machine. Sometimes it mangles limbs when one is put into it. At least 50% of the time it doesn’t. So will you put in an arm or a leg?
And, get this, despite being an analogy, the machine is safer than either drunk driving or illegal street racing because only the user is at risk! Amazing!
Do you mean overall, as a societal ill? or on a per mile basis?
If the answers are different, it’s only because even drunks know better than to go street racing.
I’m more likely to get killed by a DUI than a racer. But I have no clue how this would change if I adjusted for how often they occur.
Either way I’d prefer none of either, but current enforcement and priority is sufficient where I live.
One, at the bare minimum, tries to avoid having other cars on the road while the other doesn’t care at all.
Depends on the age of the participants. Anyone over 21-23?
People street racing at least don’t typically seem like they’re distracted by things like phones; I almost trust them more than the average driver.
