Drifters Please Read This

[Doughnutter]

Just been got in from a night down in Essex with some mates watching the drifting Great night but unfortunately I saw something that pissed me off a great deal. People had been putting oil down on some of the roundabouts so they can drift better. This is probably the worst thing I ever seen down there to date. I do not condone street drifting at all, keep it to the track, but if you do deceide to participate in a bit of midnight drifting please DO NOT PUT OIL ON PUBLIC ROADS to help you. You are putting lives at risk. If that was your missus, daughter, mum or anyone else that got injured or killed how would you feel? I know this practice has gone on in carparks and private land (especially with the burn out boys) but for F***'s sake lads lets KEEP IT OFF THE ROADS. Wait till its wet and then try if you have too. The midnight drift lads try their best to stay out of the way of "civilian" drivers and keep things safe, hence why they are out late at night. Incidently the story has it that the Old Bill nicked the 7 lads who put it on the road. Prob lucky to get off with a ban but if theres a fatal accident there and it's linked to that....... who knows.

Definately a manslaughter charge at the very least. Thanks for the heads up - this sort of stupid behaviour is not tolerated.

[Freddie]

That is probably one of the most stupid and selfish things I have heard in a long time..

[pgarner]

worst thing is like you say they will get a slap on the wrists

[Prince]

Some people....

[AutoCustomEng]

These are the kind of kiddies that can't afford insurance,tax,and then get told off with a slap on the wrist,

I saw a kiddy trying to drift with a 316!!!!!!!!, i wanted to go a give him a good smack,

[waynne]

I know what you mean. These morons give the sport a bad name!

[steve09]

i cant beleive that, but then again its essex lol. imagine, going to work in the morning your a bit late so you decide to put your right toe down a bit more that normal, get to the roundabout then, WOOOAAAAHHHH right into the barrier, all cos some idiot cant drift so they try an make a slick drift track on public roads, in my eyes there's not much more dangeorus than that.

[ascaudio]

yes agreed very silly behaviour

[bicko]

silly b*5tards what gets me is that even when theyve been fined theyr still better off than most driver, they shud shaft 'em for 4 grand or summit not 200 quid, then make em clean it up

[Mimo]

oh no a stupid behaviour

[waynne]

Sadly there are still reports of kids in bashed up cars drifting on the streets!

Perhaps cars with welded diffs should be banned from the roads? Most drifters will trailor a car to the track. Isn't it always the case that a mindless minority give the sport a bad name.

[pgarner]

How do you tell if the diffs been welded, without opening it up ?

this story makes me glad i don't have any roundbouts where i live. we used to drift in parking lots back home, but could never figure out why people would want to lose thier cars for it. cali really cracked down on any type of racing, you get caught they crush your car. maybe you all should suggest that to the local law enforcement

*at least in the socal area that is

if you make an example out of a few of them, it might make them think a little!
