So basically, people with no regard for their own survival or each other's survival are engaging in illegal street racing. We could prosecute people for this but I'm not sure what the legal system can to to "deter" people who seem to think illegal street racing is literally to die for. (Either that or they've BSed themselves into thinking it won't kill them like it's killed other people, in which case they could BS themselves into thinking they wouldn't get prosecuted either.) Obviously the emphasis must be on prevention. But the cops can't be everywhere at once.
Why not just equip all cars with devices that would allow law enforcement to remotely shut them off if there's reason to believe they're engaging in illegal street racing? Yes, I can see how law enforcement could misuse it. But right now it's the lack thereof that's being misused. As well, you could make it a felony for cops to misuse such technology and prosecution of such cops mandatory; it would be more effective to "deter" a walk of life that is (sometimes) known to be deterred by consequences than to deter a breed of criminal that is not known for being deterred.
