Street Racers Get Crushed

There is a new trend spreading quickly throughout the world. Vehicles seized during illegal street racing stings are being crushed in California, Canada, and various small towns across the nation and abroad. Street racing vehicles are being destroyed, yet DUI’s and drug runners are only impounded.

Does this new policy actually help reduce the dangers caused by illegal street racing? Some say it makes things worse. An unofficial interview of ten people involved in street racing indicates that 90% would be more tempted to evade police if they knew their vehicle would be automatically destroyed. The evasion of police resulting in high-speed pursuit may present more danger than street racing itself.  Watch a video of street racing vehicles being destroyed and then post your comments below.
