Default Drifters Please Read This

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.

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.

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