Drifting: the game of death

Drifting: the game of death

Have we lost the passion to live a normal life? You ask yourself, what are those guys doing on the street? That is for sure not a sport. Reckless young men are performing fatal actions; pointing their cars into a crowded mass which has accumulated on both sides of the street near a public square. Drifting! How can it be changed from being a hobby to addiction is what Samira Al Kindi and Hamoud Al Amri will discuss in their article. 

Drifters are looking to have fame as a result they give themselves strange nicknames as “ghost” and “scorpion.” These names also keep them unknown from their families or police. Some might say why do we make such a big deal of it? It is just a way through which young can improve their talents. However, dear readers doesn't drift cause a lot of consequences? It certainly does. The first is that there is a great chance that drifters will get killed. And those who survived are not in a better condition as they are suffering from lifelong injuries which have changed their entire life. Another issue is that drifting can be the cause of other crimes such as stealing, and drinking. This is because drifters are easily influenced by their peers. In fact, many drifters confessed that they drift after taking drugs or drinking alcohol. And some even steal the cars that they use during drifting.

Nevertheless, if the reasons are clear, then the wonder will vanish. Why do people drift although they know its harmful? There are several reasons behind it; for instance, people have a lot of free time as they are unemployed. There is also no place or instrument which people can use to reveal their energy and talents. Not to mention that there is a lack of parental supervision.

Can it be solved? You'll have to see it as an issue before doing so. By looking at the reasons, the solutions should be clear. Not necessarily drifting is the problem, but the condition surrounding it is. Not having the opportunities to use your free time to being the best of your talents is the issue to be solved. Therefore, from my point of view, the solution is not to prevent drifting because obviously young cannot be controlled. It's to provide a secure place for drifting, that is governed by the the police, is the solution. In fact, we can look at it as if it is car racing and consider it a sport. Well, readers show us your creativity and let us see your thoughts.
