Plus they promote "Don't be a Dick" they let everyone know that they have ANPR on the exit and that they will ban anyone who is being a dick.
It needs this sort of proactive approach, I think the problem with cruise meets is that there is not an apparent pro active approach to stopping people being dicks, more the opposite.

But isn’t the precise purpose of some car meet cultures to be a dick though? It’s all about an evening of imagining you are Vin Diesel. Plus they promote "Don't be a Dick" they let everyone know that they have ANPR on the exit and that they will ban anyone who is being a dick.

Such signage works at meets where a people aren’t meant to behave like dicks but a dick will always turn up and just need a gentle reminder but other meets are specifically all about being a dick.

Good point. In that case the only solution is a police presence. Such signage works at meets where a people aren’t meant to behave like dicks but a dick will always turn up and just need a gentle reminder but other meets are specifically all about being a dick.

C&M have got it right. They have neighbours and have acted to try to ensure they have no cause for complaint.Plus they promote "Don't be a Dick" they let everyone know that they have ANPR on the exit and that they will ban anyone who is being a dick.

Plus, as said before, people turn up and stand where they do hoping to see dickish antics. It's a symbiotic relationship. Without the audience who would they be playing up to? And without the antics would so many people turn up and stand where they do?Such signage works at meets where a people aren’t meant to behave like dicks but a dick will always turn up and just need a gentle reminder but other meets are specifically all about being a dick.
As sad as it is that people ultimately get injured everyone involved is culpable.

Is there some way the written element of the driving test could be used to weed out half wits? Some kind of scenario based question perhaps?
"What are the three most important things to consider when preparing to do a burnout on a public road?"A) Like the 99.99% of society, just looking to do the best I can with what I have available.
B) A quarter mile at a time.

I saw an interview with the organizer of the cruise in the OP and he was saying how it was out of their control and can't control, which in light of the C&M above, sort of proved that as b
ks. In essence what he meant was we can't be arsed to police it that tight, with the now ill fated consequences, bound to happen eventually if you ride your luck enough. DonkeyApple said:

B) A quarter mile at a time.
A) Travelling efficiently and unobtrusively, avoiding unnecessary delay by paying attention and planning ahead.
B) Trying to beat your personal best time to the McDonalds drive through, while squealing tyres on every corner.

Couldn't agree more.As sad as it is that people ultimately get injured everyone involved is culpable.
While I have sympathy for the injured, they also own a large proportion of the blame.
If they don't provide an audience, the drivers have nobody to try and impress.
If they don't put themselves in a dangerous place, there's much less risk of injury.
