dakota r/t gets totalled right infront of me

Aur, you say he should be punished, and I assume you are a street racer because you post a lot in this forum, and I also assume there have been plenty of times when you were just like that guy in that dakota and you screwed with that rice boy, or you messed with that vette. Well my point is, what happens if it was you? I know there has been plenty of times when I get someone going and think that they are ready to run and then after the light turns I find myself doing 100+ m.p.h. before realizing that he didn't take. Is it his fault he was having "fun" with 13Sec95Vert and he caught bad luck? It can happen to any of us, and every time we race when that light turns green we take the risk that something like that can happen. I truly believe that every time we do race on the street we gamble with the safety of us, our passengers and others. That doesn't mean that I don't contradict myself every time I pull up next to that mustang or rice boy or whatever, but where do we determine when someone should get punished or not?? I just feel that if we were all in the same situation we would feel a lot differently and wheter or not he should get punished is still a matter of opinion (and you are entitled to your opinion), but if you were the guy who t-boned the lady, would you think you should be punised?
