Street Takeovers with Cars Doing High Speed Donuts Becoming a Real Problem

 

Whether it is a fresh Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donut many of us find eating them is hard to resist
Despite the high amount of sugar and calories that in them exist
Some 1O billion donuts in the U.S. are consumed each year
While increases in the total number consumed appears
Whether it be glazed, chocolate covered or jelly inside
Munching on a donut while sipping coffee is part of morning commute to work ride
But there is another donut whose numbers are small but continuing to grow
Not eaten in a car but turning a car into racing circles in an intersection to total chaos sow
Squealing tires, loud noises and exhaust fumes
Pedestrians, other cars and bikes in a intersection have run out of room
Hundreds gather to watch the fast moving donut circles that have taken over a street
In too many towns overwhelming the police who seem to lack the will to the dangerous practice defeat
Traffic citations and impounding for a period of time the donut making cars
Might make a slight dent but harsher penalties needed to the practice bar
Rather than just impound the donut cars given the potential danger law enforcement should confiscate
If the donuters hear the approaching sirens and traffic cameras capture the plates
Unless the car was stolen the police can later be knocking at the donuter's door
With tow truck and warrant to seize and confiscate so it will not be doing donuts any  more
So far spectators and donators have not been injured or killed
But only a question of time before we will see additions to the butcher’s bill
