Car Race in the City

While myLotting this very early morning, about 5 a.m., I am hearing from a distance the sound of cars who are apparently having a race. I did not know who allowed those people with very noisy mufflers do that game in a city road! It is very noisy and disturbing to those who are still sleeping this Sunday dawn, aside from the fact that it could be so dangerous to people who might drive in that street, not knowing there is such a race going on. They should had done it in the racetrack, not in a city street!

It's incredible that the race is held on the street.

We also wonder why local authorities allow it.

@acelawrites Yes, that's what I'm asking myself. It can be very dangerous for people on the streets.

I know how much car races are noisy and disturbing, I lived in Monte-Carlo 31 years, it was horrible during the Formula 1 Race.

@acelawrites In Monte Carlo there is not a race track, the race was in the city streets, 4 days of hell.

It is alright if it is being held in a car race track instead of the city street.

So do you think it is a legal race or just young people showing off?

@acelawrites They have drag-racing sometimes in our quiet streets too but the streets don't stay quiet for long if they start racing.

Maybe they are betting, and sometimes young people doing it for bragging!

So very dangerous if you are a driver who happened to pass there and you don't know some unruly people are doing it.

I have seen something like that once. I saw it from the window and it looked very dangerous. I agree that it shouldn't take place in a city street.

There were some accidents caused by such car races in the city streets, but they persist on doing it!

They thought they are in a racetrack.

There is a racetrack near our place, yet they do not want to use it, maybe they want a free one, a city street!

Hello @acelawrites Illegal race track, they should be reported to the authorities. Unless they got connections though, they should have a legit race track field far from the neighborhood.

Am too sad for this situation; it is impossible that the local authorities do not know about it because people here had posted it on local facebook group complaining about it.

Exactly! They’d be arrested here for that.

Yes, and authorities should not allow it.
