    In essence the boy racer is to the car scene what hooligans are to football.

    Aside from the obvious problems, their lack of driving skill, total disreguard for the law, and complete lack of respect for other people, just to mention some. They get people who are genuinely interested in cars and motoring in general a bad name.

    why not just bring in a Car-ASBO? :D

    all road users get a camera in the front and back of their car and get to vote on the other drivers they meet on the roads with a little buton on the steering wheel that takes a pic of their numberplate.

    anyone who consistently causes offence to other road users will eventually get flagged and have their car taken off them, crushed and turned into ashtrays and baked bean tins. :D

    I was sitting outside the Summit Inn in Howth on Friday night, havin a few scoops, and the goings on with young people (boy and girl racers mostly) in cars had to be seen to be believed. It was like wacky races with three squad cars moving cars on, searching cars etc. There were passengers drinking in cars too.

    It was good to see them being hassled but it took up the resourses of 6 garda to do it. Its a massive cost in manpower. In saying that I was woken up last night by the sound of cars racing around the hill so tuesday nights are obviously less heavily policed.

    oh and I like the idea of the CASBO

    Why are these cars not being inspected for illegal mods like exhausts etc? at least it would be some positive action.

    I used to do this for a good few years when I lived back home. 4am at a crossroads and you just knock off the lights and hammer it through. If anything is coming you would see their lights a mile off.
    I'd assume poster refers to crossroads in the country and other cars but then there could be a bicycle, person or an animal on the road or coming in to the crossroads at the same time. Pretty crazy idea to even consider this.

    I like the way your thinking.

    However does anyone know how many ASBO's have been issued in this country, if any.
