Lewis Hamilton: Formula 1 world champion... just quietly i reckon he has the reaction time and car control to lay a safe controlled burnout!!! what a champ :D

Lol. Non-celebrity gets pulled over. No one cares. Celebrity gets pulled over. Cops make everyone care by creating scene.

hey may be able to control it but that doesnt give him the right to break the law, the law isnt always fair but that doesnt mean you can just ignore it

@1995kyl3 YEAH but its beyond fun now to death think of the familys for once 

[BHynes92]

@1995kyl3 especially because the man they caught hooning makes his living practicing perfect car control

I think he can control the car doing a little burnout, he races in Formula 1 for christs sake. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be racing if he couldn.t control a car.

@ronzak24 well some thing tells me he can just about control a lil mercedes benz doing a burn out. i mean if he can control a car a 190mph with inches from a barrier and other racers then he can do a simple burn out with killing any one. But i forgot the only killing was the police, they killed joy!

@Daracon1010 Doing a standstill is NOT dangerous. Taking a corner sideways at 50kph is NOT dangerous. Doing donuts in an empty carpark is NOT dangerous. These things DON'T KILL people! What DOES KILL people is the POLICE chasing people, shooting people... (+ old people/females who don't know how to drive, coming out of side streets, tailgating..) I know (good) people who have done runners from the cops just for something MINOR (eg. brake light out) which the police make out to be EPICLY MAJOR.

@Daracon1010 There are MANY stupid laws. Wearing a helmet while riding a fucking bicycle is STUPID. Being limited to driving at 80-100kph at 3:30am on an empty long and straight 3 lane freeway is FUCKING STUPID. Females allowed to drive is FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

Tell me something I don't know about steroids/hgh and how many things are poisonous. My point is.. that the government/police seem to want us all to kill ourselves with ciggies & booze, and don't want us to better ourselves with roids/hgh.
