CTV Streetracing Poll (PLEASE VOTE)

Saw this on MaxBimmer, forwarding the word.

Please vote (preferably against this idiotic law).

http://toronto.ctv.ca/ at the bottom of the page they have a POLL there to vote on Ontario's Street Racing Law

P.S

I do not drive dangerously and do not promote any kind of street racing. I try to evertake only on the left (like they do in most civilized countries where lane discipline is enforced, something unheard of in North America) but this law is quite pointless as the authorities should focus on teaching people how to drive instead of how to pass the driving test, resulting in a system with pointless laws.

Leave them a comment, here is mine:

"How about creating a driver education program that actually teaches people how to drive as opposed to passing a completely unrelated ‘driving’ test. More educated drivers mean safer roads. They are going about this from the wrong end. Enforce lane discipline (an unfamiliar concept in North America) like they do in Europe instead of coming up with pointless laws. Why would people in Germany be able to drive on roads with no speed limit? Because they know how to drive – which means they are able to do this safely. It all starts with education."

Feels a little better now
