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, who just seem to roar around the local streets endangering other road users and pedestrians.
Why do these louts feel the need to heavily modify their cars and treat the streets like Silverstone anyway? Its not cool and it doesnt impress anyone, except possibly the other boy racers.
Sure, everyone needs a bit of a thrill now and again. I used to take my motorbikes to the local race track to let off steam, but these morons seem afraid to leave the safety of their council estate. Perhaps they are afraid they might get lost or something (hey what a good idea!).
The Police aren't interested (as usual), and I know of several residents who are planning to take some sort of vigilante action and severely damage the cars of the worst offenders.
People around here are simply fed up
I don't condone this, but I can certainly understand their frustration when nothing else can be done. People around here are simply fed up with these boy racers, and unless something is done soon someone is likely to get hurt.
So what is a boy racer anyway?

This site attempts to explain the phenomena known as "boy racing" to the general public. For a good old giggle, check out the talk section of the site!

A note to all the idiot chavs commenting on here: if you kill a child you will go to prison and it will make you grow up very quickly after which you will then feel guilty for the rest of your life. All because you want to impress your idiot friends and slapper women. Do you think that's worth it? Idiots the lot of you.

Boy racers in Sanquhar are a pain and an embarrassment. They litter the streets when they gang meet even although there are bins two metres away. They roar around respectable residential areas at two in the morning with absolutely no respect for the people who have jobs to go to in the morning and need their sleep. The residents of Sanquhar hate them and just wish they would get a life. They speed on roads where other road users ar eoften put in dange. Their seats are so low down and fart back that there ios no way they are safe. They boast that the police are thier friends and wont touch them. I think they are such losers.

No jobby I'm not a 'bundle of fun' when I get woken up by revving engines and booming music, you see I have this thing called a JOB - which I have to do so I can pay tax and keep cretins in benefits, and need to be up in the mornings. Oh and yes pity my kids - what an awful parent not wanting them to get run over!
I have no problem with people doing their cars up - as I said - their choice to spend their time and money doing what they want to do. It's when it seriously affects me that p!sses me off.

For my part, modify your car all you like, make it look and sound as ridiculous as you can, nothing to do with me. However, rev the living daylights out of it near my house at stupid o'clock in the morning and wake me up and I will make sure that you know about it. God forbid that you should ever knock me or one of my kids down and I will pursue you to the ends of the earth to see you get what you deserve. I can see that doing up cars is some people's hobby and as such should be tolerated by society - it's someone's free will and what they want to do with their time and money, which quite frankly is their choice. However when some of those people start using residential streets as racetracks and having 'meet ups' in residential areas it becomes dangerous and anti social and should be treated as such. If you want to drive like a tw@t and put your life in danger that is your choice - have some thought though for the other people you are endangering when you tear @rse round residential streets - being banged up for death by dangerous will curtail your activities - could you live with the thought you had killed a child?

makes me laugh boy racers=failed exams
so i passed all my gcses (that's equivalent of o level) and AS and A2 levels, iv also got an NVQ LVL3 which equates to a further two A2 levels..... Guess what..... I love modified cars, and the only accidents i have ever been involved with was with a 70 year old lady with 96 years no claims.... (that's a lie by the way she was driving a brand new car as she wrote the last one off) and she wrote the new one off too..... by falling asleep at the wheel at 930am and not maintaining lane discipline, i lost money on that first car, and got cheated out of many things due to it, and nearly lost my job. and in the last month my girlfriend has been crashed into twice by old people forgetting to put the handbrake on, looks like it just has to be accepted that old people are just as dangerous.
and in regard to the article vigilante action..... going after a persons car is the lowest of the low, im not a violent person but if i found out someone had been after my car and i could prove it was said person i would take them to the law so hard and make sure they didn't do it again, stop complain and be glad your alive, i have lost people who never complained and i see forums like this and think what a waste of space, why are these peoplr here and not the people ive lost that deserved a chance in life.

I live in Sanquhar and we have a massive boy racer problem. Is it any coincidence that these boy racers are the very same boys who were trouble at school and passed no exams to speak of. Any one with half a brain doesnt do this sort of thing. I also notice that their cars are a death trap at the worst and a real hazzard to respectable road users at worst.
Totally useless members of society who have nothing better to do with theior time than roar aorund in the small hours of the morning waking up respectable people who do actually have a job to go to in the morning.
GET a life you MORONS

It is time that police adopted a zero tolerance policy to people who endanger the lives of others by using lethal weapons in an inappropriate manner. A car is a lethal weapon when misused.
The cars should be confiscated and crushed, if not in 100% roadworthy condition, and most of them aren't when they have been modified. Those in decent condition, and that would be the minority, should be sold at public auction and the funds paid into a road accident fund to help the victims of uninsured drivers.
I would stop short of saying that they should be crushed with the occupants inside, but the thought has crossed my mind.
What is the difference between a Renault Clio and a porcupine? The porcupine's prick are on the outside.
