i agree with rukus
a drunk driver is far more dangerous than a street racer, but both are incredibly dangerous
a drunk driver can have blurred vision, the inablitiy to change gears properly, be overconfident, meander between lanes and into oncoming traffic, be inatentive/fall asleep at the wheel, have lowered inhibitions/not care if you hit something, greaten the chance for road rage, barf on the cd deck etc.
once 8 years ago after having 3 drinks in an hour, i got behind the wheel, drove 50 metres down the road and said to myself 'nup, f#$ck this sketchy sh*t, i'm catching a cab home'. and that was only after 3 drinks and i felt a bit dizzy. alot of the DUI'S you read about in the paper are people with a lot a greater blood alcohol reading than what i would've had.
a street racer will most likely be pumped full of adrenaline, therefore more aware than and would have faster reaction times as opposed to a drunk person ( i have never street raced and don't ever intend to or condone it). i'm not defending street racers, and by no means saying it's safe under any circumstances. maybe they should as punishment have to do community service. be made to do something constructive for the community as opposed to the government destroying their property leaving them in debt, leading them to sign up for welfare, costing the taxpayer more money.
all i'm saying is i believe i would be for more likely to cause an accident if i was drunk
and don't get me started about the rich f*ckers in their bmw's and merc's on their mobile phones
