"I'll bet a paycheck that its about 10 to 1 fatality ratio DUI vs street racing."

Yes, and the DUI idiots are getting hammered too! The DFW area has really caught on to going after problems BEFORE somebody gets hurt, and I think its about time. USED to be that the only time they made somebody take the sniffer test was AFTER a wreck. Not so any more! I say more power to 'em! As for the street racers, I say get them too! We have had a lot of incidents here of bystanders (innocent drivers) getting run over when some kid loses control racing down a public street. From what I know, the cops have been pretty fair about using the impound laws USUALLY only when you are racing another car. If you are a little too enthusiastic on the accelerator they just pop you with the normal $250-300 ticket and DL points....UNLESS you're an idiot.
