Call me a spoilsport or whatever you like but I feel rather strong about such "games". Half a million injured people per year alone in ''german'' road traffic isn't enough, huh? --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 20:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Road racing? :/

Given the average distances to cover this game basically results in road racing. Which is dangerous for both oneself and other people, and banned for a reason. I definitely do not want to see any kind of dangerous driving and breaking speed limits encouraged by here. Call me a spoilsport or whatever you like but I feel rather strong about such "games". Half a million injured people per year alone in german road traffic isn't enough, huh? --Ekorren 20:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
