I was catching up on the new on this subject the other day and i was surprised
to hear about a man who rammed a carload of Boy racers with his vehicle and
then proceeded to throw something through another vehicles window, resulting in
injury. There are also reported incidents where people are placing nails and
screws on the roads to puncture the tires of "Boy Racers" cars, last time i
checked they weren't the only ones using the roads and this could have serious
consequences to anyone who came across such a trap.
Does this new vigilante attitude not scare anyone else?
I myself am 26, Married and we own our own home. I consider My wife and myself
to be polite responsible adults and yet since our car matches the description
of a "Boy Racer" car we are targeted by the police when not doing anything
wrong at all. It is people like us who are likely to be affected by public
vigilante groups as emotions get high and things get out of control.
There are plenty of young people interested in cars who are responsible and are
getting blamed for the actions of a few, some of us are willing to help with
the situation but are often met with attitudes of disbelief and mistrust.
I think that if we treat the general problem with maturity and deal with the
idiots that are not willing to be responsible then the problem can be sorted
out with little or no conflict, However in order to do this we need to all act
maturely and responsibly in order to reach a solution, starting with listening
to each side and not getting on high horses and jumping the gun.
Anyway lets get on with being proactive and do something about the issues
rather than sitting at our computers battling it out with quotes, misconstrued
facts and insults.
Kind regards,
