Boy Racers Should Be Banned
An alarming number of youngsters are driving - or being driven in - cars that are untaxed, uninsured and unroadworthy. Boy racers are become more global every day. More and more teenagers are starting to race their pimped out car’s in illegal races. They are dangerous, loud and annoy people but then again they keep them out of other troubles and give them something to do. Did you know 1 in every 3 guys likes to race and rev their cars? , %14 of those end in a fatal crash. The db rating of a v8 is 100 which is 10 db above the ‘safe’ noise level for exposure over 1 min. 14% Road crashes are now the biggest killer of young people. Last year 846 drivers, passengers and motorcyclists between 15 and 25 died. A further 7,362 were seriously injured and 62,146 slightly hurt. Brake's own survey of 4,486 people in that age group showed that a third (30 per cent) have driven without a license.

Have you ever heard a 6 liter v8 raving at 6000 rpm at while trying to get to sleep at night? If you ever did you would be pretty annoyed at all the ruckus and wont to lay a formal complaint, this is the main problem with boy racers they disturbed the community with all their rubber burning tricks. Firstly Boy racers are extremely dangerous are they are usually piloted by youngsters without license that are on dangerous substances and will have massive disadvantages later in life like spinal injuries. They are very dangerous and in some cases they have killed innocent people who didn’t do anything wrong. Banning boy race’s won’t do anything it is a bit like drugs when they got banned people didn’t care and now there are more people than ever before who smoke/sniff drugs. The government needs to get a controlled environment where boy racers are allowed to show off their cars and race them. Instead of banning it, which the same offenders will just keep doing it until they get caught and when they get caught it will ruin their life’s for doing something stupid that they will either grow out of or become a v8 super car driver they are not trying to harm anyone. Boy racers are a problem in our society but we are looking at it the wrong way the teenagers who are involved are just looking to have fun doing the thing they love. Boy racers are misunderstood, they are not doing the wrong thing, and in their eyes they are just trying to enjoy life.

**Argument Writing Reflection** Argument writing is very sophisticated and hard to do I could not master it because of that but in the future I will keep trying and soon it will become one of my strengths.

**//__ Smacking Law __//**
Smacking is a way for parents to discipline their children. Parents should have the right to smack their children so they learn a lesson and don’t do it again. In June 2007 Sue Bradford from the  put through the anti smacking law and ever since people has been arguing if they should take it away or not. Between  months from April   October police attended   smacking cases and 49 minor acts of minor   discipline. I don’t agree with the smacking  is the wrong thing to   are some reasons why.

Smacking is a way to tell children they did the wrong thing and shouldn’t do it again. If the children don’t know this they keep doing it  in the parents beating them up causing brain damage and in some cases the baby’s/children die. It’s better for the children to get a light smack  a   result in fewer deaths.

I think they should just take  away because they haven’t fully decided if it is a good law yet. Some of  are against and some are for the   wasn’t fully decided when it came out. How could they have a punishment like prosecution if they haven’t fully decided whether anti smacking  law or not.

According to stuff.co.nz in 2003 84 percent of 170000 child abuse reports had nothing wrong with  families that   searched got emotionally scared for life. That is all the anti smacking law gave us.

Physical abuse is a problem in New Zealand but  have been more cases of child abuse since the anti smacking law came out. This tells you that the anti smacking law hasn’t given people anything but it gave children more hidings. They thought it would make things better but it didn’t. The parliament should learn from their mistakes and stop the law before more kids get beaten.

In conclusion I will admit beating your children is  not being able to give a light smack to discipline your children is even worse. In my opinion It should be parents right to discipline their children. Otherwise  up their anger and take it out in one blow on their children. The children end up getting beaten to  so cruel no kid should go through that.
