This street racing is really a menace and a severe nuisance to other motorists as well. There was an incident when I was driving one night with my pregnant wife when a couple of motorbikes passed us at reckless speeds that made my wife panic and get afraid because those motorbikes almost hit my car.

So Patali incident also racing on an unregistered bike. That's why racing special tracks are made, both for safety and excitement
