Back on the topic with cops, how come none of these little racers never get caught ?

Well for some of you who don’t know, these guys are those who are still stuck in the fast and the furious state. It’s great what most of these guys have done but they are a danger to most of us on the roads.

Well one thing we know, is most of them are rich kids. I know quite a few of them, I don’t race but some of the people I’ve met are so young. I’ve met guys in skylines, evolutions, and what nots, all modified and so on, but guess how old some of these guys are ? 15 !!! 16 !!!! 17 !!!! and so on.

What’s on the minds of their parents ? Is it a way of being the popular parents ? Cool parents ? Hip parents ? What is it ? Are these parents sending their kids to their death or to the take the lives of others ?

It’s fine if they are experience but do they have a license ? What happens if they have an accident ? Is it simply a bribe to who they knock into ? What about the cops ? What about insurance ? What about their image ?

Recently a friend of mine told me that one of these racers in their usual racers, which used to be near Vihara Maha Devi Park or close to the Alexandra place gas(fuel) stations, had knocked into a little boy. As I heard the little boy died, but what happened to these drivers ? This boy was a homeless child, with his mother.

My question was who was punished for this accident ?

Now back to cops, they catch people for drink driving, cutting lines on the road, speeding, or even using the phone, what about these little racers ? Are they being paid off, by one of the rich parents ? How come these people are never in the spot light ?

I know people who have been pushed off the road by these little racers, cops have been called and alerted but they seem to put a blind eye to it. When I say pushed off I don’t mean they on purpose they tried to push other drivers off the road, what I mean is when they are racing or in that powerful car, unknowing they scare innocent drivers off the road, they don’t think, they are YOUNG !!!!

Well this is just to make you aware of this racing craze and for parents to be more responsible of their kids. Just because you got money, putting a 4 million rupee racing car in the hands of your 16 year old son, only make you look the following

1. The people around him know he’s your kid

2. They know you are rich

3. They know you give cool gifts

4. You make them wish they were your kids

BUT what do others think of you and your kid ?

1. He’s a rich kid

2. He’s spoilt

3. The parents are ignorant for giving such a gift to a young kid

4. The parents are incompetent for giving such a gift to a kid who has no legal license to drive

5. The parents don’t respect the law

AND what do the cops think ?

1. Another rich brat on the roads

2. More money for the one who catches them speeding (bad cops)

3. More danger to those we try to protect (good cops)

4. Fear for cops who know if they catch a rich brat, they’ll be in big trouble when their parents tell on them to the higher up cop.

5. More damage to public property

6. More accidents

So who wins ? I’ve heard lot of these little racers have their racers in a safe way, they block roads, allow only one race at a time, and do everything by the racers book, I think they have even got radio scanners so they know when cops are on the way, but the big problem is, thee are minors running the show.

The story of the little kids being hit, how many more will come and go unpunished ?

PARENTS of these kids !!!! It’s time you’ll grew up, and showed some responsibility and some intelligence to those around you and your kids.
