No si, they arent trying to stop you having a chat, but that will be the end result of the legislation sadly!!!

Its already illegal to race on the highway or drive dangerously. that hasnt discouraged the CHAVs though has it??? so what else can they target?? make it illegal for them to gather in groups and theres less reason to race round. As you admitted, people went to watch and im sure many raced to impress those watching etc. Take away the ability to meet in groups and then they can only drive fast on thier own which defeats the point of cruising/racing. Problem solved

Of course but to do that means those who want to meet and just chat cars and do no harm etc will also loose out.

But thats the way this country is policed nowadays as people wont take responsibility for thier own actions so overpolicing is the governments solution.
