Cars & Coffee Catastrophy

So, why is it that people who attend these events need to drive wreckless when leaving?

This was bound to happen sooner or later; these idiots keep setting bad examples and pretty soon no one (property owners or retail outlets) is going to want to sponsor any car events due to the liability.

What a shame for those injured:

Yes, I also saw that come up on YouTube. Sad to see these events continue to be plagued with these accidents.

People should definitely not drive like that leaving a car show of any kind. But people should also not be standing on the curb right next to the road encouraging them to do it either. It's a disaster waiting to happen, and it quite often does.

That driver got out and walked away ..strange how a hand full of bystanders can induce people to burn rubber , race and other goofie stuff for in living color action , comedy and thrills .

I attended a C&C last month, fun, the turnout was *massive*, but of course, about 30 minutes before the end, the idiot drivers + way-less-to-blame spectators were starting the create a situation that could lead to a disaster.

I pulled up to the main road from the parking lot, rev'ed it up good and loud ... crept out _super_ slow, hahahaha, I think I got some boos

Many people have more money than brains. Your average person lacks the experience to adequately respect and thus safely handle a high horsepower car. Just because you have the money to buy one doesn't mean you are prepared for it. Anyone who has driven these cars in a performance environment intimately understands what can happen if you do dumb things like burnouts near a crowd, or at the very least will know how to do it without losing control and killing someone.

Better a Porsche then a mustang, I know everyone's thinking it.

I would bet a lot of the time it is the first time people are getting on these things and freak out when they lose control or don't understand how the car will act.

I would always blame the crowd as well, people know what happens at the end of these events and line up to see it. People will set up professional equipment to get that YouTube video as well because they know what takes place. But then they act surprised and cry when people get hit....

Traction and stability control. Leave it on and you wont kill or injure people. And lay off the go pedal and act like an adult. SMH
