We had a couple of jack legs here that thought they would be funny and drive down the interstate at 25 mph. The only problem was the 18 wheeler that didn't get stopped in time to miss the one car trapped behind them. This happened at about 3am. By rush hour the next morning they were still trying to clean up the mess. Two dead, a girl and the truck driver, and about 500' of interstate melted bad enough from the fire to need repaving before they could open it back up.

Idiots like this should burn in hell.

Given Atlanta, I figured someone would just plow through and keep going.

It made the morning news today. The GSP and APD are on the case now.

WSB posted the story on Facebook as "a group of racers". I politely asked them not to group these people in with racers, like us, who go to the track with a properly set up car and drive in a controlled area.

Local got killed in a street racing crash a few years back. Alderwoman wrote an article in the rarely read local paper, bitching about Mustangs revving during the procession. Not on the top list of my complaints.

Doughnuts on the highway? Get a life douchbag. You're not making a difference. Go away.

In reply to Snowdoggie:

Those guys are a nearly completely different level of stupidity, where is the dashcam footage of one of their "rides" at......

Back to the topic 3 or 4 things automatically set me off as to "street racer" stereotype on the atlanta video.....berkeley them

You endanger more lives than the one lost....I hope they find and deal with them in traditional atlanta fashion(are lynchings still legal there?)

I live here. It's kind of expected of us.

You know, the link you provided reminded me of another reason to hate this sort of stuff. Did you see the comment about the poor guy who was late for work because of that stupid stunt--and got fired?

I think this little douchebike festival was posted here a few years ago when it happened. Yeah. I ride a motorcycle too but I don't pull stunts like this. This guy is doing the same thing to muscle car enthusiasts and car guys in general. I sure that everybody who was late for work that day ended up hating musclecar owners. As for the guy who got fired, lets hope he finds a better place to work the next time around.

That motorcycle one is stupid. What a bunch of dumdberkeley squids. I would be willing to bet 70% of the people ride GSXRs seeing the lack of riding gear in the video.

I was headed to work sunday and a group of bikes stopped hard down to about 20mph on I 87 to get a gap so a few could race. One guy in an Accent decided instead of slowing down he would split a lane and pass them. They tried to force him onto the shoulder. A part of me was hoping he could hit one just right and take them all down.

This is several years old, but seems relevant. A bunch of kids from Georgia State hopped on a highway and did the speed limit, to the chagrin of everyone else on the road.

Oh, and they taped it.
