Hum Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 NEW YORK (AP) -- Two fathers in their 20's have been accused of drag racing on a New York City highway while their very young children sat in the back. Westchester County police said the Bronx residents were seen weaving their cars through traffic at speeds of up to 80 miles-an-hour on the Bronx River Parkway Wednesday night. An officer said there were two children in each car ranging in age from an infant to a 6-year-old. Their mothers sat in the front seat. Police charged the drivers with illegal speed contest, reckless driving and endangering the welfare of a child. They were also issued tickets for speeding, unsafe lane change, following too closely and seat belt violations. Both men were freed on $250 bail. from: The Journal News, http://www.thejournalnews.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C++ Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 New York must be even denser than I imagined because I've probably backed out of my driveway at more than 80 miles an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyoncmdr Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 80 miles an hour, that isn't racing. Gotta get above 100, otherwise you're just speeding IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapadlo Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 ^^lol your driveway must be quite long or either very steep :pThese people are just idiots, and should have their licenses suspended on top of fines and other charges! I agree, the punishment should be a lot more severe. However larger fine is disadvantageous to family and therefore children, so suspension of licence seems the least. $250? I spent more then that on a meal, seems a small price to pay for unnecessary endangerment of children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
