(29,205 posts)The Bay Bridge is one of the most congested bits of freeway in the nation.
Any blockage can create problems all the all back to the bridge approaches and side streets (in either San Francisco or Emeryville / Oakland ).
They want to do donuts... find an abandoned Walmart parking lot someplace... or rent a racetrack.
Better yet, grow up. You want to race cars... you can become a professional race car driver.
I dread driving anywhere in the Bay Area because of the traffic, this shit right here is justifiable homicide (ok, not really, but pretty damn close!)

(82,849 posts)I've heard reports of knuckleheads doing this on the Fremont Bridge in Portland. One of these days, someone is going to be held up who has a short temper and a big gun. It will not end well.

(16,672 posts)They usually do this in intersections and hold up traffic - then take off before the police can get there.
More stupidity gone wild.

(1,154 posts)This shit has got to stop, they've been impounding the cars when they can, but they need to start adding prohibitive jail sentences to start making an impression. On the Bay Bridge? That's a "bridge" too far.

(38,313 posts)Force them to watch as their precious cars are crushed and then shredded to bits.
Make them sort out all the bits, by hand, for recycling. A bit of steel in that pile, a bit of aluminum in another pile, a bit of glass, a bit of tire, a bit of plastic, a few coins that were under the seat....
Don't let them free until they've completed the task perfectly.
