Like racing? Common sense rules to live by...

I just got the new April 2002 Import Tuner, and I found 4 rules listed by one of the authors about street racing and I thought they were pretty damn good. Here they are:

1. Do not race in heavy traffic. It endangers the lives of the participants (and their passengers) and also the lives of other drivers that are sharing the road.

2. Not all people that drive import vehicles want to race. Some people just want their cars to look nice. Others are just trying to get home after a rough day at work. (This is my personal favorite. I know some people who are more worried about cracking their kit than smoking some fool. Also, there are alot of racing veterans who've been there, done that with nice cars n have retired from racing).

3. For those of you that are just itching to race on the street, remember this: If you confront someone and they obviously don't want to race, MOVE ALONG and LEAVE THEM ALONE.

4. Your actions are being viewed by everyone. If you race anywhere and everywhere, dont be surprised to find yourself on the side of the road talking to police when all you were doing was "trying to drive to work". It's not harassment; it's police prevention.
