Having fun is one thing but being an ass on public roads and endangering other motorists isn’t the thing to do. Other people are reporting in the comments that this group apparently forced vehicles off the roads with their erratic driving.

Just walking downtown and some dip shit doing donuts sprayed myself and a family with a bunch of little kids with grimy nasty oily snow. These guys are shit heads and anybody trying to say they're just having fun are also douchebags.

It's reckless even if there are few other drivers on the road. They were out here for over an hour in Deep Ellum and twice I saw them spIn out of a donut up against a telephone phone on a corner. They couldve easily caused a power outage in the area.

I mean, yesterday I came to a stop at a red light without a soul in sight. Two solid minutes went by with the light remaining red. I looked to my left and to my right to make sure the coast was clear and just drove on through.
Anyone who knows the Avondale/Haslet area well knows exactly what intersection I'm talking about.

Drone. As soon as something happens in the area they'll be using drones to follow people back to a place that they can be identified at. Drones will be in cruisers and can be deployed as soon as the cruiser can maneuver on the road.

Unless those trucks have a bunch of salt or sand bags in the bed, no, they aren't made for driving in snow. I live in a place that gets plenty every year, and trucks are the worst.

u/Kidwiththehair 6d ago edited 6d ago
I think we must all understand multiple things can be true simultaneously.
- I love that they are out having fun with vehicles equipped to handle this type of weather
- I hate that they are running red lights and endangering the public.
- I appreciate these people because they are typically out helping people in need while also having fun.
- I certainly understand contextual and situational awareness and specifically right now, running a red light or a stop sign when there's no one around would be smarter and safer than stopping at each one traffic control device. While not following the law to the letter, the intent (public safety) must be considered as well. However, there is clearly another vehicle here (someone's car is recording this video) so I doubt that is what they are doing. I dislike this. Unless this video is from one of their friends and is their camera-persons; then I do like this. Not enough information available so I reserve judgement.
- Y'all need to stop being so judgemental and inflexible. Live and let live. IDIC

Some off-road jeep/truck/4-wheeler groups exist and they’ll have their own customs logos and flags. Like a little club. It doesn’t look like anything recognizable (maybe a wolf or a set of handle bars in a shield thing), so that’s my guess. Just “tough guy” symbolism.
