Vancouver police have discovered a video on YouTube that shows two cars racing, possibly along Highway 99 at speeds that reach 234 km/h. At the time of the street race and the making of the video, the streets were wet and there were other cars on the road as seen in the video; the road conditions make this event even more dangerous than it already is. The police is examining the video, hoping to identify the street racers. The video quality was good enough that someone could recognize one of the drivers; the driver could also be identified by his voice.Not only is street racing dangerous, but it's stupid. Why would someone risk their life to street race? People die every day because of car related accidents, street racers just raise the risk of getting into a accident by traveling at very high speeds. Not only are they risking their life, but they are endangering other drivers around them. Another element is that driving at high speed is illegal; is it worth getting an expensive fine just to make a useless YouTube Video? The gaming industry has made simulated car racing video games; it is basically the same as illegal street racing, but in a safe environment of your home or an arcade. Why would people endanger themselves and others, when they can get the same concept in a safe and controlled environment? Hopefully the Vancouver police find the suspects and issue severe punishments for these individuals.
