I recieved my copy of EVO magazine yesterday (or the bible as I like to call it) and one of the readers letters really made me think so I thought I would share it with you all.
I can't remeber the exact detalis but it went something like this.
A young lad is driving along one day and gets involved in a race with another driver. The other driver looses control, crashes, the car catches fire and he dies. The young lad then ends up in court and is sentenced to 3 years in prison. Even though he didn't cause the other car to crash the court still took the view that as he was invloved in racing on the public roads he was in some way responsible for the other drivers death. The actual reason the car lost control was the driver driving outside of his abillity.
How often when getting involved in a bit of racing do you consider the abillity of the other driver, especially if you don't know them. I'm sure most of you wouldn't consider getting invoilved in such things, but I know on occaisions I have. It certainly made me think about my actions.
