Just like cancer when not treated early would spead until.....Just drive along our roads and you will see countless road uses breaking the law daily and they get away with it all the time until its percieved to be accepted. Drivers that dont signal when turning or lane changing, some only have one headlight working, vehicles that are not road worthy anymore, tyres that are bald to the steel belt, bikes that dont have a rear light working, bikers riding on pedestrian pavements and/or going the other direction...not to mention the ever so common,not stopping on red...how in the world did all these people suddenly get so "brave" to break all these laws??? As for the race track, that is again a different story all together. Read in the newspapers that some Rempits blame that they dont have a proper race track thats why they hit the streets.....what a load of crap! Let me tell you all a story: About 10 years back when I was still a very "active" biker, the Police was already having their hands full with the growing rempit and bosiah culture that they could not curb. They asked us to assist (being fellow bikers) with the race track idea and together with some friends I arranged for a meeting with some so called "rempit gang leaders", bike workshops that "supported" illegal races etc. The plan was to let them use the Shah Alam race track (Batu Tiga then) at nights with the Police and JPJ and some corporate sponsors even contributing towards installing floodlights. The traffic cops and JPJ gave us the assurance that the rempits wont get hassled at all at the track, illegal mods, under aged, betting towkays with bets that winner take all including a girl for the night. riding any direction they like..all that. They even asked my group to take charge with hiring private security if needed and that the Police wouldnt even be there and wont bother what goes on....just take them off the streets! The stakes were high, those illegal street bike races sometimes bet as much as $30k to $50k per race....mostly backed by towkays that who come in their 300sel's. The winning rider gets 10% (thats good money for a despatch rider or mechanic back then), some bike shops even bet their latest and brand new Yamaha Rxz as prize and always a girl is also thrown in for the winner. Imagine the thrill of winning not mentioning the glamour, money and chick that comes along with that winning package. This were the racing rempits and not those we see nowadays that group and joyride in the city.  The rempits laughed at this plan...and their answer? ..."bang, mana ade siok, takde kereta, takde orang tengok, takde police kejar etc" ..and now some people talk about this plan again while others want to glorify them by turning them into "Mat Cermalang"...well...Good Luck!</blockquote>
