I don't blame the residents of South Rd, Masterton, for being fed up with boy racers.
There are few things more frustrating than the noise of inconsiderate speedsters, roaring down your street.
Added to that is the worry that one of those racing drivers will eventually lose control and cause damage, injury or loss of life.
The term "boy racer" seems to have become universal shorthand for drivers who don't give a damn about others, but it's not entirely accurate. While it's fair it's usually young men who think they're invincible behind the wheel, but more often than not, they're not boys.
They're old enough to know better. They're old enough to understand that they have a responsibility to be considerate to others.
