2. There won't be any sympathy for these idiots

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.

11. Absolutely

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!)

3. I just don't see the fun in that.

Nothing about it even says you have a bad ass car.

[gratuitous]

4. This has apparently become a thing

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.

9. Given the time of day they've been doing it I'm betting it'll

be more like a drunk driver plowing into the crowd in the bridge

5. This has become popular.. but first time I've seen in on a bridge

They usually do this in intersections and hold up traffic - then take off before the police can get there.

More stupidity gone wild.

6. The

"Look what I can get away with" crowd needs to get its comeuppance.

10. Cell-phone cameras.

7. Sideshows

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.

8. Take away their driver's licenses forever.

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.
