There was a recent case like this in Stoke. A lad called Jacko was sent down when a Fiesta racing on the A500 crashed and people were killed. That was a very debatable case.

It's a tough one to judge. I think if you actually organise a race and someone gets killed then you have to take some responsibility. But then if someone choses to race you and kills themselves that's a bit tricky. Then there is provoking someone into racing.

I think racing with kids on your car is a terrible offence.

The thing is you just never know what situations are really like. I think Steve on here has a story where he was acused of causing a crash he'd stopped by simply because a few old ladies assumed he was racing in his Renault 5 turbo.

A couple of years ago I was with a friend driving out of town and a lad in a Saxo raced off from us and crashed into a car.
