Of course, NOT ON MY STREET will that happen! :)]]>Feb 26th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 9:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 10:00AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/i think this will probably work out, but only in their instance.
I can not see this ever working here in the USA.
besides insurance companies flipping,
marketers would muck it all up, find a way charge people, sell ad space, have roads named after companies sponsering racers, ect.
capitalism and greed would ruin this idea here.
over in poland it will just centralize the accidents for the police.]]>Feb 26th 2008 10:26AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 3:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/
In which neighbourhoods are there speed-limit free zones? Obviously this is going to be in a more isolated are..... 'tards.

I think this is a sensible move.]]>Feb 26th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/

a) Inconvenience: The police are going to ostensibly choose some remote, isolated stretch of road because they don't want to incur liability from homeowners upset at the dimunition of property value by having loud cars whiz by in the middle of the night and teens and young adults roaming about. Such a location would hypothetically be just as inconvenient to get to.

b) Costs: You're not paying for admission, but instead you're spreading out the increased costs of police enforcement, road maintenance, etc. to the rest of the population in terms of tax expenditures. So instead of personally incurring the costs of an activity that an individual does, they are forcing the rest of society to absorb it.

c) Liability: Racing under controlled circumstances is still inherently risky and dangerous... So when someone inevitably wrecks, will the government be liable for sanctioning this risky endeavor? Will the rest of society bear these additional costs? Will insurance even cover such a thing? Who will the insurance go after?


Tell me how "smart" this idea is now?]]>Feb 26th 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/I bet you also think, there is snow all the time and tanks on the streets?]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/
There are even municipal golf courses allowing those who can't afford pricey memberships to play a round for a very low price.

Why not racing?

I think there is a great idea in this move.]]>Feb 26th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/polish-police-give-street-racing-the-go-ahead-in-certain-section/Feb 26th 2008 1:42PM
