I agree with many of the commentators.

WE need common sense car control laws NOW! I call on California to pass a law making it illegal to possess a car with more than four cylinders and which can exceed 55 mph. No one really needs to go faster than that right. A law also that requires a kill switch that safely stops any vehicle which exceeds the posted speed limit by 10 mph. Require that a computerized record be kept by any vehicle driven by anyone 18 yo or younger and the record be submitted to the DMV yearly and repeated or excessive repeated speed cause a offender to lose driving privileges. Anyone other that exempt First Responseders and members of the states legislature (Can't expect them to come under a law meant for little people). Anyone owning a vehicle capable of speeds over 55 mph must have it permanent throttled or the vehicle will be subject to confiscation.

We need to do this now for the 'children'!

This article is street-racist. They are undocumented street races, not illegal.

The first ever car race happened 10 minutes after the second car was built. People drive, people race.

I once beat a guy who had a short nascar career years later.

In LA County, illegal street racing has a deadly toll

I have to be brutally honest here...
The headline suggests that, that's a bad thing.

Make brutally stupid choices, reap brutally stupid consequences.

There are not many innocent victims here.
Just mostly innocent grossly immature ones.

And as the ultimate blow to our entire society, many of these these immature victims actually vote; some perhaps several times...

In what racers call “takeovers,” participants use their cars to block off streets or freeways to stage races.

just one of the many examples we have that our civilized society is in anger of collapsing.

We don’t need any more laws.

Racing is illegal.

Speeding is illegal.

Drugs are illegal.

The police are not enforcing existing laws. Why have more?

In the 60’s we used a rural highway with a long straight stretch. Lookout cars were posted at the beginning and end and were to signal if an approaching car was coming. Spectators watched from a cemetery just about the end of the race. Never had an accident. Racing ended when a new housing development started and a local drag strip opened which drew the big guns. Today’s youth are willing to race anywhere with no concern for others. Just another sign of the times.

I would go along with 18 or older for drivers licenses. Even at that age for many is too young nowadays. The grave yards are full of young people who were under 18 when killed.

2 ton machines and speed kill a lot of them.

“WE need”

They’ve been working on this.

Driverless cars will eventually be mandatory.

Best way to control the public’s movement.

Fully automatic transmissions, you say? Why is this legal?
You don’t need a Mustang to hunt deer, especially a black assault Mustang. Ban them!
