Today, I walked back from the train station with my old man after work up the hill to home sweet home relieved that work had come to an end for the week.
To my horror I heard a very load roaring noise and then 2 cars zoomed past us about 80-90mph we guessed. Less than 3 meters separated them (rather like that suited gent on the phone in the 3 series on your tail you seem to experience on the motorway). Literally they were nose to tail. I think this is what can be loosely defined as racing, minus the driving skill and safe surroundings.
Naturally the cars were hatchbacks with very big exhausts at the back of them. The noise they made was deafening. I couldn't even tell if the drivers were young as they were going so fast, but I guess given the style of the car, its modifications and the way it was being driven that they weren't older.
Anyway the road has a 30mph speed limit, many junctions and 30mph is an entirely reasonable speed limit considering the hazards and situations that crop up.
My hope is simple, they stop it of their own accord, which would be great, or are caught by the police (highly likely, their licences won't stay clean for long unless a crash gets them sooner) and get banned and see the error of their ways, or they crash (taking only themselves) and the roads are a bit safer.
What I don't want to do is open the paper tomorrow and discover a race ended in tragedy for them but also for someone innocent.
