The Dangers of Street Racing And Motorcycle Gangs

Street racing and motorcycle gangs can be two separate matters, but every now and then, they go hand in hand. Going further, these types of street racing consist of planned, orchestrated, and or spontaneous street challenges on the road or freeway. Whether it is with a small group of friends or an organized group of people who are breaking the law, these all result in devastating consequences for both participants and innocent bystanders. The adrenaline feel for the speed and the “outlaw” lifestyle is quite the path, but the reality is that racing and motorcycle gangs are dangerous and meant for ill will. Just to clarify, this is not targeting real and organized MCs or charters who are actually law-abiding citizens and respected members of our community. In fact, the following is an attempt to shine a light on the potential danger of entering dark life choices and how KAASS LAW can provide Attorney Consultation Services and or any Personal Injury matters. 

The Dangers of Street Racing

Keeping it really simple: street racing in the State of California is dangerous and illegal. It poses a major risk factor for our community and its streets, such as accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Some further detailed factors of the dangers associated with this crime include: 

• Loss of Control: With one small rock on the road or a speed bump, a rider can lose control if going too fast.
• Distracted Drivers:  Other drivers who do not pay attention to the road are the most dangerous for riders.
• Road Rage: Competition is high and so can emotions. The nature of street racing can fuel road rage and aggressive driving behaviors. Consequently, this can be very unfortunate and may create violence altercations with the outside world. 
• Bystander Injuries: Innocent bystanders, including pedestrians that are simply walking on the road or sidewalk, cyclists, and passengers in other vehicles, are often tragically caught in the crossfire of street racing accidents.
• Arrested: We would much rather see you obey the law, than see you in a hot pursuit with law enforcement on live television. 
• Severe/Fatal Injuries: On a serious matter, you can sustain extreme injuries or even bet your life on it. 

The Dangers of Motorcycle Gangs

While not all motorcycle gangs are inherently violent, however, some Outlaws can pose a serious threat to our public safety. Some of the dangers associated with motorcycle gangs include, but not limited to: 

• Reckless driving: Some riders think they’re outside the law, hence called Outlaws. They often would drive erratic, including speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, or running a red light. Overall, this is an endangerment for everyone and all drivers and bystanders. 
• Intimidation/Violence: Some motorcycle gangs are known for their aggressive behavior, including intimidation tactics, road rage incidents, and even violent confrontations.
• Property Damage: Vandalism, property damage on other people’s belongings
• Possible Criminal Activities: I.e. drug smuggling, extortion, murder, etc.
