Freeway take overs are a popular display of the power of numbers. In a response to the recent article, "I-95 shut down by street racers" which took place on the east coast, the west coast has their response. Their response is much crazier too! They take shutting down freeways to a brand new level! Lining up their cars blocking all lanes of traffic including the shoulders, street racers out west show how a true interstate lock down for illegal street racing should be done. More than just racing up and down the street, they perform donuts in pure defiance of the law.
Special street racing groups like www.EvoStreetRacers.com are trying very much to stop these crazy antics, but can only do so much. The fact is that racers don't want to pay for track time that they will still be bound by rules regardless of how dangerous it is. The solution to this problem as suggested by a CarDomain.com user would be to shut down the freeways at certain times and let them have their fun. A sanctioned style event where a special part of the freeway shut down with proper safety personnel would reduce the dangers involved greatly. Until modern rules are changed, this will never happen and the monotony will continue. Let this be an example of what not to do, because after all it is illegal and innocent people do get killed from this crazy activity. This just goes to show us how out of control the problem is, and why stiff penalties such as crushing vehicles are taking place.

Len feels like a racing car driver every year when we visit California. I don't think you can drive any slower than 80, to 90 miles an hour, just keeping with the traffic conditions.
if i was a cop id get out of the car jump the center of the road point my gun and say stop. if they didnt id shot a tire out. if that didnt work id shot there engine. if i got in trouble its ok atleast they would think twice about doing it again. maybe it could work
There are more than two cops and two ramps on any freeway as eluded to in this write up. You pull this kinda crap in the People's Republic of Kalifornia and at least one car is getting crushed. Enough of the advocating of street racing, you're gonna get some rookie hurt.
Karl- how exactly am I advocating street racing? ALL of my articles (if you read them) explain why it is bad, and try to convince street racers to keep it on the track. The content I create is intended to capture their attention, send the positive message, and convert street racers into track racers.
APA format is to brief you what I am going to tell you, tell you what I have to tell you, then re-cap what I have told you. While this sounds repeditive, it carries your message all the way through. Putting your illeagl/dangerous message only at the end is not effective. Most readers are going to quit reading after the Car Domain suggestion having seen what they want to see. So, if you want to demonize street racing for what it is, carry that message from start to finish in your write ups.
But then the message reads like a "truth" commercial.. everyone takes it as a joke and it doesn't send a message. That's one time they hear "street racing is bad" and then they move on.. however if they read through a group of articles with content they enjoy, and hear the message "keep it on the track" several times, I'm sending more of an impact message that will stick with them. Whether they heed my advice or not is up to them, but I'm still getting the "keep it on the track" message across to more people more times than a standard PSA.
