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.

29-12-2007Everyone isn't as bad as each other, most people are considerate to others and don't put their selfish pleasures before anything else.

19-12-2007Part 2 That’s great that your dad could afford to buy you a £2-3000 trials bike and send you off weekly to have fun. Most kids settle with the play ground. I don’t drink (do you?), I don’t do drugs (do you?), I don’t smoke (do you?), I recycle everything (do you?),...morebritsenigma
19-12-2007Like most oppressive forces, they attack what they don’t understand. The need for speed has been a driving force in technology for many generations, you can’t blame newcomers to the world wanting to try it out. Granted, it should be done in a safe environment.
