Racing Accident; Me and My Best Friend

After playing ball with all the homies at Westgate Park, we were exiting the residential area and me and my friend were racing, due to madd traffic, my friend with a Spec V took the center divider and I took the Far right Emergency area. There was a bridge coming up and my emergency lane was merging to lane 2, and the center divider was coming in close but my other friend was in lane 1. So my friend braked, hopped the center divider and ended up on the other side of the bridge...

He and his passenger walked out of the car fine.
The car is prob. at a shop, as you read to get an estimate.

Broken Right Axle, radiator, A/C filter, two airbags, broken front glass, right rim and tire, front upper strut bar, front sway bar, but luckily no engine damage.
total should be approx 8 G's.

Hes selling his car afterwards and getting a diff. car.
He says "Im out of the scene, no more fixed up cars."
Damn, that was one hell of a night.

No pitty for Joo or your friend...
anyone who tries to race and put other's lives in danger is just plain immature.
at least no innocent person was hurt, this time. Joo need

maybe you should lose someone due to street racing in order for you to
see the magnitude of your lack of consideration for others

So please help me understand this?

You were racing on a crowded freeway with tons of traffic. Then you decided to use the emergency lane to drive on. Your friend drives on the center divider. So at a fast speed you finally realized that both of these lanes can and do end occasionally.

So in a panic brake, you narrowly escape injury to yourself, your passngers, or other drivers.

I guess my biggest question is why have you not learned the more valuable lesson here? What is it gonna take. Is it gonna take you staring down at a friend's grave and saying you are sorry? Or looking at a judge as he sentences you to 10 years for murder?

better yet, how about both... make him be the one to tell the parents of the person(s)he kills that he did it, not because he was drunk or in a hurry, but just for "fun" and then make him watch "2 Fast and Fcuked up" everyday that he's locked up.

maybe that way he'll learn...maybe
