IMO its not a major issue where I live, I hear plenty of noisy cars and
I also hear the occasional burnout but compared to the other bad driving
things I mentioned its a minor irritation.
The Melb newspapers occasionally print a list of areas where the police
have confiscated cars, my area doesn't even get into the top 10 and the
demographic that you seem to blame for most of the problems are rare
around here.

It's a minor annoyance for most until one of the fuckwits ends up in their
loungeroom when a streetrace goes wrong.

They are pretty rare around here and non-existant in my area, but they
congregate in certain areas and collectively they are an issue.
By your own admission you have little experience with the problem but that
doesn't mean that it's not a big problem for other people living in certain
areas.

How often does that happen?
Much more likely that an elderly citizen will crash into your house when
they fall asleep at the wheel but they are much more difficult to target
and it doesn't make good TV so no one does anything about it.
