Boy racers are a menace, police do nothing
Boy racers on our streets

Boy Racers

What can we do about these boy racers that terrorise our streets? Local residents are fed up with the noise and the danger. One day someone is going to be seriously hurt, and it just might be one of them!



BOY RACERS - I'm really sick and tired of the so-called 'boy racers' with various types of customised cars, but all with loud exhausts. They treat the streets like a race track and the police just aren't interested.
