How come cops always want to take away the fun from kids driving fast and drag-racing?
When cops were a little younger, back when they were in their teens or early 20s, I'm sure even they sped around and enjoyed having fun burning rubber in some Firebird or Camaro. I'm 28 years old and I still haven't had that V8 yet and I really want to speed and burn rubber at some point with one, but without the risk of getting a ticket.
Remember when those cops stop the drag races in
"The Fast and the Furious" and its sequel?
Its tons of fun. 150+ on an empty road, its all going well. Then the guy youre racing over compensates for something, or hits a rock, or hits a pothole, or even just looks away for a second and next thing you know your 3000lb has moved a 8000+ pound trailer 20 ft and ripped the entire top off the car (and ripped the top of your girlfriend in the passenger seat, but you wont find that out for a couple weeks because theyre still using the jaws of life to pull your unconscious body out).
I got pulled over once doing 144 in a 70. The cop told me if he ever saw me going so much as 1 over again he'd arrest me. I'd driven the route a couple times and made sure it was safe, no cars, no debris, perfect for those speeds. 'Responsible speeding' if you'll go for that term.
About a month later I started working in insurance claims. The thing at the top is the second call I took-I'll never forget it. The kid was careful, did everything right, but its just not possible to control a car that isnt actually touching the ground.

Smart street racing doesnt exist. Minimizing variables means going to the track where there are fewer variables and much more control of them.

My old street car was parked on the side of the road (legally) in a 30mph zone. Girl in a Honda Civic was going an estimated 60mph. Only 60-shouldnt be a big deal. She clipped my bumper slightly, it spun her car causing her to T-bone mine. Moved my much heavier and larger car 10 ft into another one, pushed it foward a bit, and destroyed her car. Worst part was, she'd taken off her seatbelt for a second to check on her kid in the back. Due to that, she was flung foward just before the airbag opened. When we went outside you could see the red mark where her head had cracked the windshield before her back was snapped by the airbag deploying into her stomach which was up against the steering wheel.
