I am just so sick and tired of these boy racers fleeing from the police and endangering everyone they pass. The police are now under pressure to NOT do their jobs because everyone thinks they are at fault if there is an accident. its easy - dont do the crime, dont run, no accidents. Simple maths. The problem is that not enough punishment is measured out to these little sh#ts and so they get away with it time and time again. In fact, punish the parents too if they are found to be involved. Stop messing around. Get the job done.


Yes I agree totally with lvdw.

If the culprit owns the car then crush it. Perhaps we need to reintroduce a form of compulsory military service to instill some discipline and responsibility into these miscreants. If they kill someone while evading the police then perhaps they should be charged with murder and punnished accordingly.................... or we can do nothing and nothing will change.
