Doing a steady 80 in a 65 is one thing, but the kinetics dynamics of a car racing down the highway are very different. Different enough to make street racing more dangerous then speeding since there are so many more variables in the equation.

So its OK to speed because everyone is doing it?

Your risk factor for a accident goes up every mph above the posted Speed limit! I agree with you on how Street Racing is more dangerous then just speeding but since there are so many people that speed and there are so many more accidents because of people doing 10-15 mph over the speed limit I think you are more likely to get hit by a person who is just speeding and cant stop in time then to get hit by 2 cars that are racing.

I got into 3 accidents in my life. 2 of them I was on the recieving side because the car behind me could not stop in time and I got my front bumper knocked off by a speeding car that ran a red light. The other accident was my fault because I couldnt stop in time and ran into the back of a Elantra on base. MY last accident was 2002. 2 of those accidents had to do with speeding and not able to stop in time, the other was someone in rush and ran a red light. Luckly all the accidents happend on roads with a 45mph speed limit.

Yes Street racing accidents usually ends in a death of some sort but there are hundreds of speeding accidents each day I bet that end in a death also!! Both also include innocent people most of the time!

One more question. Have you ever raced your car on the street??
