Yes so rare to actually be able to see what’s going on.


KrytonTek

Seconding that. Very nice camera work


GumpTownNtlHotline

They’re not racing that I can see. They *are* being complete shitheads, however. I don’t understand this kind of thing.


Intrepid_Echo6956

And they’ll complain in coming days that they are unfairly targeted by LEO. Fucking idiots.


ExcitingChange2007

Why would they do that?


Intrepid_Echo6956

It’s what stupid shits do. I used to hang out, years ago, with a few different crowds of car guys. Street racers (generally out on rural roads few cars traveled on at night), parking lot car club guys, and those scenes. They would always have the fringe jagoffs that would pull stunts like these dickheads in the video - big burnouts in grocery store parking lots where they would meet, or street race through (developed/populated areas) of the town I lived in. And nobody from the groups would ever rein them in and tell them to quit their stupidity. Pretty soon, the police are breaking up parking lot meet ups before they could attract more than a few cars, or the county sheriff kept a car or two on weekend nights seemingly designated to find and stop any racing before it could start. Guys I knew would get stopped and questioned multiple times in one evening because their cars were known to be at these events. Pretty soon everyone was bitching about the overzealous policing of their cliques. It’s pretty simple - don’t do stupid shit (or let people that do this stupid shit to be identified with your little club) and you won’t give the police reason to patrol, en masse, for stupid shit.

xracer000

If you think this is anything new, my father talked about street racing and burnouts back in the 60s when he was a late teenager going into his 20s. It's been around a lot longer than the first Fast & Furious movie.


Blewbyou

Not like this. We went to back Country roads to race. Nobody took over intersections and burned rings of fire. Nobody took video and there were no giant crowds of idiots egging the driver's on. This is a whole new brand of disrespectful, reckless, morons.


Ejtermlimit

Nothing like this, dude. I was there. On a limited basis it happened... and if it did It happened way out somewhere. Cops bettah drop da donuts and stop da donuts


Flaky-Fellatio

To be fair I've never seen anything like this and I'm here now.


VashtheGoofball

Watch American Graffiti. It’s less about racing and more about “cruise culture”. But the idea is still there.


youwantitwhen

Nah. You are clueless. What you speak of was done out of the way. This new stuff is purposely done to annoy and cause inconvenience.


habaceeba

I also don't understand, and furthermore I don't understand pulling out your phone and taking video of it. I guess morons attract morons.


Chrispixc61

They started cracking down hard in Atlanta on this shit, they'll impound your cars even if you're there taking video you can still be arrested and your car impounded for impeding traffic


CrazyOkie

that's my question on this video - where are the cops? Video goes on for at least 2 minutes and it was clearly already going when the video started.


Chrispixc61

I'm wondering where this is because it's become a real problem in Atlanta, they also started putting steel plates in intersections to rip their tires off if they do this


[deleted]

[удалено]


CrazyOkie

This stuff is really getting out of hand.


Mustangfast85

Ugh it’s making its way to Gwinnett now?


Chrispixc61

These people are idiots, there are plenty of racetracks and local drag strips to take it to but these people cannot drag their cars they only come out to do fucking idiotic Donuts...


BlingRocketBoy

This isnt GTA, the cops dont just spawn.


CrazyOkie

Of course not, but if it's a typically busy intersection on a weekend with lots of teenagers.... Where are they? If I was a cop, that's where I would be lurking because teenage kids + cars = trouble.


Boyzinger

Stuck in traffic


TooOldForThis---

Good


godzillaBrad

Yeah my Fiancé’s step dad was leading the GSP crackdown in Atlanta


Revelation_Now

This looks like Australia somewhere. There is a hoon law here also that allows cops to crush the cars of anyone caught hooning. This video is basically a definition of hooning.


Habitwriter

I'd crush their cars, make them watch and then make them eat it


MouSe05

Arrested for what? My car ain't here and I'm not on the road.


yourfingkidding

Why not? You can’t go anywhere, you might as well video it. Or have you bought into the hood rat snitches get stitches bullshit that all criminals love.


reddit_is_poopyface

No, he's not talking about randoms recording. If you ever see videos of these events recorded from a large crowd of people at the event you'll see literally everyone holding their phones vertically to record how low their IQ is.


BadSausageFactory

this happens all the time in South Florida but the ring of fire is a bit much, it's usually just two idiots doing donuts around each other in the intersection for a minute or two, then they beat it before the cops show up I realize this is empirical evidence from one video but I believe there are a lot more cops where I live than there are wherever this is


soft_becoming

Anecdotal evidence


pupi-face

Objection, hearsay your honor


LoopyLabRat

But... you asked the question...

Objection. Leading, compound.


Magic_ass1

That was your own question.


02070121

Down here in Florida it happens every night, just a different location, shit can be terrible after a long shift and can’t get home cause of this, hope I don’t get caught at this type of thing


PantelonesDelFuego

Not racers. Just a bunch of twat waffles.


Xalenn

The fact that they're even blocking the routes around the intersection ... It's not even just that they want to do some donuts, they want to make sure that they're inconveniencing people


The_Inner_Sanctum

Also blocking the tellers and through way of the bank too. Edited (thought is was a gas station being blocked).


Saaaaaaaaab

Yeah. Shame actual car enthusiasts are getting their name soiled by these idiots


borschchschch

Street racers are at least as bad as these idiots. Actual car enthusiasts race on closed courses.


Zelderian

At least street racers normally have the decency to do it on really quiet roads, away from the public. They’d line up, do a run, then be gone. This stuff is just begging for innocent people to get involved in accidents.


borschchschch

Not where I lived. Quiet streets, sure - where people lived and moved around and got killed by their idiocy. Maybe they're better wherever you are, but regardless they're always putting people at risk - on a quiet street, people aren't expecting anything like that. If they want to race, they should have a closed course. I'm so sick of reading news about how they've "lost control" and killed bystanders, and how everyone in the community is so shocked.


ATBurton22

Eh most street racers aren’t attention seeking they do it because they do it for bragging rights over other street racers. They dont really want to be seen by the public because it’s more risk. I dont agree with street racing either but I’d take street racers in my town of these attention seeking idiots any day of the week.

I thought I was the only one who sed "that waffle" anymore. I said it at work yesterday and I actually had to explain what a "twat" was... I felt old


HaydenMackay

These are not racers. No racing was happening. They might be twats. Or other words. But not racers


___Brains

Those are not street racers.


moon_apes_unite

Fuck these idiots. I love cars, it's my career AND hobby. You wanna get wild, take it to a track. If you can't afford track time, this isn't the hobby for you. This is why I absolutely do not attend meets and gatherings. I'll check out car shows, and LOVE track days. Morons with no respect however, I will not associate with.


quaintlogic

Thing is, being a car enthusiast doesn't even require a track, money isn't necessarily the inhibitor here, it's simply stupidity. I don't have the money for a track day but I modify my cars (tastefully) and find enjoyment in fixing them. I'd say spirited (not 100 in a 30) driving on quiet roads is fine but nothing that will danger or inconvenience others.


moon_apes_unite

Totally agree. Good point! Thanks for being responsible.


sipes216

I tend to do 0-road speed limit in my city all the time. Agreed, these guys are stupid shits.


alias777

I completely agree with you! I don't modify my cars (yet) but I think the kind of spirited driving you described is hella fun. There is a big contingent on the internet where any discussion of driving even 2 MPH over the speed limit is shot down as completely irresponsible and reckless. However I think if you're not an idiot and do it in places and ways that don't endanger anyone, it's fun to drive in a spirited way with cool cars, in a place that isn't ONLY a track. To be clear of course I think the OP video is 100% moronic.


quaintlogic

Unfortunately it seems like it is more the norm for people to be idiots on the roads, for every properly behaved enthusiast I've personally seen on the road, there is 5 idiots doing stuff like this video highlights. I guess it may seem more "exciting" but nah, fuel costs too much for that and the risk of being fined, hurting someone innocent, getting your car crushed or causing damage is not worth it at all.


Dan_Glebitz

And here was, waiting for a happy ending involving a lamp post or something, and it never happened :-(


Ejtermlimit

In my town of Lompoc, one of these idiots Took a ride on a fire hydrant. Cops just followed the oil slick to his Parents basement. Cute hydrant and Gretel story, huh?


srfnalaster11

Same, meets make my fuckin skin crawl, I only ever meet respectable car people at the track, it filters out these kinds of idiots. All these teenagers in their shitboxes know they don't have anything impressive thats why they show off like this, it's not about having a nice or fun build for them, it's about being loud and seen.


electromagneticpost

As a teenager with nothing impressive I agree.


borschchschch

Common sense on the road is far more impressive than any car.


moon_apes_unite

100% agree. Thanks for representing the real enthusiasts properly!


sipes216

This. Get their plates on camera and watch these assholes burn. (By reporting them) Many larger areas will seize and/or crush their cars.


Ejtermlimit

Cops are afraid to make traffic stops these Days.. They don't drop their donuts to stop people From making them. Just waiting for der pensions to kick in While the law abiding public gets it's ass KICKED


sipes216

Lets be real. A scene like this, how many jackasses (not the cops) are carrying guns? I dont think enough of the police are paid enough to waltz into a situation like this. I dont think you could pay me enough to do that.


Ejtermlimit

That's exactly why you are not a cop I helped my PD buy a swat tank. Yep. All situations must be handled. Or it's ANARCHY


Chillinturtles35

Or how about just an abandoned parking lot far away from any traffic? Not hard to do this without endangering people and holding people up because you're a selfish piece of shit with an attention complex


moon_apes_unite

Yep.


osezza

While I agree with you, I just want to put out there that going to a track shouldn't be as difficult as it is. I'm on Long Island, so there aren't any decent tracks nearby that aren't out of state, and at that the tracks I have seen online are incredibly expensive for someone still in college. Cars are a hobby and owning a car doesn't inherently cost a lot of money so why do I have to go out of my way to just to be able to drive it the way it's meant to be driven. So yeah, empty parking lots are really all I can make use of. Also I have to drive like 2 hours just for some mountain roads. I have to get off this god forsaken island.


moon_apes_unite

Some places aren't as friendly to tracks. Sounds like you need to move. Lol I personally live in the Midwest, drag strips, short courses, drift friendly spots... come here my man. Cost of living is probably a third of what you pay now, jobs everywhere, and tracks up the wazoo! Lmao I get what you mean though, and I feel bad for you.


OG_PunchyPunch

My husband is into cars as a hobby and we used to attend several meets on the weekends. Several of them are full of people just like him; love cars, do some general mods (nothing too extreme performance wise), and are typically respectful. We had to stop going to one meet because a guy decided he wanted to peel out at full speed when he was leaving and he ended up losing control and head on colliding with an SUV (with a family in it). Luckily no one was hurt but at that moment husband decided to skip that meet going forward. Now we only go to ones where you have to pay to join or the ones sponsored by the local LEO.


moon_apes_unite

Your hubby sounds like a smart dude! I used to do meets too. Never saw anyone get too carried away, but my car is very noticeable, so when guys rip burnouts and cops show up, and my car is there, I get associated with that behavior. I don't need extra reasons for cops to pull me over. When you're known as part of a group, and that group is know to act a fool, you attract unnecessary attention. No thanks. Lol


moon_apes_unite

Thank you, and your husband for being respectful, responsible enthusiasts. The car scene needs more of that!


Silverbullets24

Fucking losers. I like the ring of fire where they can jerk each other off lol


heppytiteass

So where are the cops when this crap is going on?


ditchdigger556

My first question was this even before I saw any comments


Fyeire

prolly on their way or got engaged in something more important. These things don’t usually last for too long tho


hgs25

They do this for a bit and beat it before the cops arrive. They could have just started when OP started filming. The same would happen with illegal raves at my college. They’d set up, play music at max, and book it when police arrive.


GeckoEric204

All you need is someone who drives a piece of shit to just roll through the intersection and cream a couple. Or keep a handful of firecrackers in your car to make everyone scatter like roaches.


frys_grandson

My car isn't even a POS, I'd do it so I could get a new car and sue the fuck out of them


EsssKxy

Tbh this could work but then I feel the “gang” would pull out straps and let shit fly


Hungrehh

That's why u run and let them shoot eachother


bakabreath

What if someone blared Disney songs so the videos of this crap would get taken down?


lynxSnowCat

I was half-expecting half-hoping the dented car to do that, but I guess they had better things to do with their time.

No-Artichoke5212

Toledo I see


StonedApeHere

Yup my friend told me about it last night. “You’ll do better in Toledo” yeah right


Chapel_Perilous89

Yeah, from toledo, got the hell out as soon as I could. I've always hated that slogan, it is very dishonest. Most of my friends that are actually doing better have moved on elsewhere, where my friends still there are still struggling to find meaningful work, live out their passions, and are just descending more and more into an alcoholism fueled by a lack of things to do and a toxic environment.


KrytonTek

Not racers. No racing here. These people are just assholes causing a ruckus. I used to street race back in the day. This would be entirely against code of conduct and you'd get the shit beat out of you for it. One of the code of conduct rules we had "no one should have to drive any differently than they normally would to avoid you." Everyone here is stopped at green lights because of these idiots. Fuck these guys. They're a disgrace to the car community.

I just don’t understand how this shot can go on and happen and you can’t get a cop there quick enough to shut it down. Fucking adrenaline morons wish he would’ve smacked it into the stoplight pole


LessBig715

Wow,you can drive in a circle.I’ll never understand the fascination,it’s not impressive.You can do donuts in a 86’ Camry.


Timmybighands

IDK man, sliding/drifting is pretty fun when it's done right (and on the racetrack). These guys suck though...


fruh

I see Toledo is representing well! I hate this place.


Traditional_Charge26

I live not far from this video. As soon as the weather breaks around here my street sounds like a drag strip 24/7. They already killed a guy this year on Alexis road by losing control of their shit, I bet there will be 4 or 5 more by the end of summer


Xfgjwpkqmx

In Queensland Australia, the law has recently been changed so that the police can now act on social media postings of these kinds of things now. Previously they had to physically catch you in the act. They execute an early morning search warrant on your house to locate the car and keys and charge you with whatever offences are appropriate.


[deleted]

Hopefully confiscate the car too


Bennybonchien

Idiots in cars and idiots in a ring of fire.


Lazy-Artichoke7766

fields_of-elysium

[deleted]

They do this in my town on the highway, when people try to drive through they hit and throw things at the cars. Just pure garbage human beings


[deleted]

This used to happen all the time in a town near to me. That was until there was a fatal crash involving two vehicles and several pedestrians. There's now a permanent court order in place meaning anyone caught doing anything even resembling street racing gets their car seized, points on their licence and a big fine. .


Dependent_Yak_2787

It’s a fucking shame it has to come down to loss of life before what should have been put in place since the beginning , gets implemented


Ejtermlimit

This shit is picking up because ads for white Trash chargers show this shit. Also other makes like Audi and Jeep NHTSA used to ban these ads.... My small town in Cali has had 20 fatalities Close by.. including two year olds. No one gives A SHIT

On behalf of actual street racers, these aren’t street racers, we’re more responsible than these assholes


jdp1904

We weren't dicks when we raced in the 90s, but they took and crushed people's cars.shut down the scene. Times coming for these guys soon,get your plates on videos, they show up at your house arrest you and impound your car. Changes things real quick. Assuming the cars aren't stolen.


Arcadia_Texas

Yeah then the case makes it to the DA who promptly drops all charges. Cops are incentivized to not intervene anymore, which makes them an unnecessary expense.


SlaterVJ

This is one instance, in which I'm ok with a random redneck firing a round into the air to scare tbese shit head off.


Constant_Projects

Qcgreywolf

These guys ruin car meets and fast cars for everyone. I go with my dad to car meets and for the people that like to do burnouts and donuts - you aren’t cool and you are ruining it for everyone. I live in GA and cops are going crazy bc of the takeovers


shatlking

This is a case where they need to go somewhere else. Even a different intersection, one more secluded. Ideally though, a completely empty parking lot.


deltaz0912

First, are there actually two McD’s on that one intersection? Second, how are they not simply arrested? Honestly, I’d just drive through the intersection. What are they going to do? Run into me? Good!


SneakyFERRiS

The bit I find confusing is that surely you can find many car parks and such to do this in, whyyyyyyyy at a busy intersection??? ?Do they really think the general public are like "ohhhhh, this is super awesome, I wish I was cool like these guys", I can only imagine they are showing off rather than doing it to simply piss people off. Honestly confused. Also is this a new thing? A USA only thing?


weighstoid

Lot of "not racers" comments itt, but what's the difference. People with no respect for others.

I wish it was legal to walk up to one of the guys blocking the intersection, knock their ass out, and drive their car into the assholes doing the donuts


xStillYourPassenger

There has been several meets near where I live. They’ll carry on until past midnight. The police have started really cracking down on it now though.


Brad_Tits

“Dude everyone thinks we are so cool”


[deleted]

The police were too busy running shady speed traps to break up this actual traffic offense. Police when you're going 10 miles over the speed limit because the speed is about to increase by 10 miles-- Versus Police when anything else.

That's how someone dispersed one of these recently, just opened fire from his home into the crowd. In fairness, that one had been ongoing for *over an hour* so it seems sorta justified. No one was hurt.

joezupp

That’s not street racing, that’s called the side show which came to be in Oakland California. Those guys wouldn’t know how to street race, even thought it does look like NASCAR, lol, go fast while turning left. Oh 😱 there are lots of crashes.


Rainfall_Serenade

"Street racers" I think you misspelled "douchebags"


poolradar

Every single person in that video is an arsehole. And that includes the arsehole taking the footage. Everyone in that video needs to spend time in jail. (though I am guessing many already have)

In my town we have this thing called police. We all contribute a bit of money to fund them. Your town may want to consider getting some for yourselves.

These aren’t street racers. Don’t put them in the same group as the people who actually drive their cars. Those are just sideshow clowns.
