Road racing drama

I was sent this story published by Time magazine about the growing street racing/stunt scene in Florida US.  Interesting read with a few surprising statistics.  Just under 10,000 motorcycle accidents in the state - wow!  TIME: Crotch Rockets

Honestly you can’t stop individuals in a free country from doing this sort of thing so why not make it at least safer?  Shock! Yes make the stadiums and tracks where these people can sign their lives away and at least injure themselves rather than endangering everyone else.  Remember that when you make things like this legal it loses appeal for most of these people.

Don’t they realize that laws won’t stop them only peer pressure to perform in an official sense?

Price of petrol in Australia - February 2010

The price of petrol has been surprising over the last few weeks.

I paid around $1.19 per litre this month.
I should add from now on that this is price for 91 Octane unleaded NOT the higher 95 octane or above.

(Note that is is my personal record, nothing to do with official statistics.)
