I’d say drunk driving because it’s more common and results in more deaths.
One more post like this and I swear I’m going to find out who you are and report you for street racing.
It’s Squeeze Benz.
If you don’t know it’s a YouTuber, who has made some crazy street racing videos or just plainly inciting the police to chase them in Lambos and stuff.
It’s not a competition they are both as bad as each other where accidents cause deaths to innocent bystanders.
illegal drunk street racing
One, at the bare minimum, tries to avoid having other cars on the road while the other doesn’t care at all.
Both are proper fucking bad. Take your car to a track, autoX or whatever (if possible) or buy the slowest possible car and take it to a backroad where you can see the road ahead and learn to go as fast as possible around a corner. Don’t fucking do anything dumb around other people, I don’t care if you kill yourself but I will care if you kill some innocent person. And drunk driving, that I won’t even comment on.
But a question to you, why are you hellbent on streetracing?
Drunk driving, easy.
The problem is how easy some of the drunk drivers get off. I watch a lot of court videos and people have racketed up like 7 DUIs and still somehow get chance after chance. It is only until they actually kill someone do they face harsh penalties and even then, it is a coinflip depending on the judge and how the process is carried out.
Based upon the negative impact to society: Drunk driving and it’s not even close.
That is not to say that illegal street racers deserve any kind of award. They are a special kind of fucking idiot. They just don’t tend to kill as many people. Back in my teens, I was one of those fucking idiots. Until I witnessed a girl, about my own age, being struck and killed by a street racer.
That was the last time I ever raced on the street. I still raced, I just took the time to get my licenses and spent the money to do it on a track. Honestly, once you race on a track you realize just how stupid street racing really is on so many levels.
Exactly 🤘 tracking your car is so much more rewarding than street racing. Not only does it get the adrenaline going, but the feeling of beating your pb/friend is absolutely amazing 👌
I’m more likely to get killed by a DUI than a racer. But I have no clue how this would change if I adjusted for how often they occur.
Either way I’d prefer none of either, but current enforcement and priority is sufficient where I live.
No such thing as street racing here, so it’s drunk driving.
as opposed to legal street racing?
i feel like including the word “illegal” is seeding the question a bit, like it’s trying to draw our attention to a particular option.
but my vote would be drunk driving (also illegal), as a lot more people are killed by drunk driving than racing
Illegal street racing, because it’s stupid
Drunk driving isn’t stupid?
People street racing at least don’t typically seem like they’re distracted by things like phones; I almost trust them more than the average driver.
The only street racing I’ve seen IRL was out on a quiet road with lookouts on both ends to spot if cops / other cars were coming. There wasn’t much danger to anyone but the drivers.
If comparing drunk driving to Fast & Furious street racing the answer might be different, but comparing to what I suspect is what more commonly happens in street racing, drunk driving is more dangerous.
Do you mean overall, as a societal ill? or on a per mile basis?
If the answers are different, it’s only because even drunks know better than to go street racing.
