A good idea but why not hold it on the boy racer’s home pitch at Bulwer Avenue ?

I’ve been discussing an idea like this with friends for a number of years.

THis could be a great opportunity to persuade the boy racer fraternity to drive a bit more sensibley at other time if a few rules are put in place.

Firstly all cars would have to be scrutinised and must be up to a certain level of saftey. I’m sure a large number of the modification we see on cars round the island are illegal or unsafe. Checking that all these car meet certain standards would improve saftey on the roads for everyone.

Secondly. Set an amnesty date and then after that anyone who is charged with speeding or dangerous driving will be banned from these events for a certain period of time. If the arrive and drive events were run at regular intervals it might persuade some people to drive a bit more sensibly if they knew it would affect participation in the future.

I very much hope that this idea does get put into place.

On a more light-hearted note, I wonder whether it’s a coincidence that this idea appears at the same time fuel tax rises. The extra fuel burned during these car-thrashing sessions would also contibute to the States coffers – everyones a winner!! :-)
