A YouTube video was discovered by a CBC reporter and tipped of the Vancouver police. The video was of two cars racing down highway 99 at speeds of 234 km/h. The video was clear enough to be able to see that the road conditions at that time were not great, the road was wet and it was dark out. The video shows that they came in vision of other cars on the road, and even stopped at a stop light, which could allow for pedestrians to be near. The video gave tips for who the drivers might be, and could be able to recognize through their voice. If the drivers were to be found they would be charged and get their licenses taken away. This was an unbelievable stupid thing to do, they didn’t just put their selves in danger but also the people around them. I can see why these drivers would want to put such a video on YouTube but do actually do the act is unthinkable. I can understand that yes they were probably teenage boys that just wanted to show off and have fun, but thinking of doing it on a wet cold night is just plain dumb. In those conditions it is easy to slip when you are going the legal speed but to go 3 times that speed the risk of slipping it a lot greater. Car accidents happen every day, and you can see how much pain can come from an accident at legal speeds image crashing at 234km/h those kind of speeds it is life threatening. So why would someone want to put their live on the line for a few minutes of fun?
