The biggest flaw in street racing is simple- it's competitive. If you're out there trying to beat somebody, you're not gonna give two shits about public safety if it means losing. Backing off is not an option. This is totally opposite to taking a quick trip down your favorite backroad, by yourself, because hardly anybody feels they have to push it 10/10ths at all costs when nobody is looking. It's easier to back off when conditions dictate. I know I personally can run a few of my local roads nearly as fast as they can be run, but I rarely do so. That's because I am always driving as fast as the current set of conditions allow rather than the limits of car/driver ability. In short, my driving philosophy is this: Never let your balls get bigger than your skills.
