lets say theres a 50/50 shot of you getting in an accident while driving. now lets say someone else gets on that road and has the same 50/50 shot but theyre street racing and driving like an idiot. now their 50/50 shot gets increased to say 75/25 at the same time inadvertently raising your assumed risk. is it fair to the person thats driving normally to have their assumed risk factor raised because of some idiot having ''fun???''
Now lets say you have a 50/50 chance of getting into a accident. You follow the speed limits and the law to the T. Now there is another driver that does 10 over the speed limit and doesnt use there turn signals!! Now there 50/50 shot gets increased to how much now? Like you said ANYTHING you do there is an assumed risk. the difference is whether that risk can be reduced by not acting stupidly. Do you think speeding is stupid? Do you think not using signals is stupid?


Whats the most Dangerous thing you do in life everyday? For me its driving and its not because of street racing. Its because there are 8 million people living in the Philly Metro area and like 16 million living in the NYC Metro Area!! Lots of different driving skills on the road at the same time.

I bet you that almost everyone on this board does over the speed limit wether it be 5mph or 20mph over! I also bet that if everyone starts doing the speed limit it would lower there risk of getting into a accident and seriously injuring someone. Will people do this? No.

Street Racing is illegal and most of you all say the people who street race are idiots and what not. Speeding is also illegal but yet people seem to not care about that!! I bet more people get killed from Speeding accidents each year then from Street racing accidents!!

Why dont people post articles of Speeding accidents? They are way more common and Since no one on this board street races or ever street raced, would be more benificial in perhaps getting people to slow down!!
