I hate to admit it, BUT
340mopar,
I lived in Washington State for a few years. I liked a lot about the place but I also understand the culture there.
That law is about a logical as one that says if someone breaks into my house , steals my gun and commits a crime with it that I had a hand in the crime because I didnt secure the gun.
I didnt make the other person race any more than I would make someone exceed the speed limit on the interstate by speeding myself.
Im not saying I dont see the reasoning involved.
I am saying that I think the purpose of that law is to discourage street racing by any means , just or not.
