Is this man a hero or a criminal?

  1. Well, I would say hero at first, just considering his drive skills, his happiness to have gotten his goal/dream, and his record. However, considering the risks that he took on his way to cross coast-to-coast route, he is a criminal. He did not put in risk only himself because if he had crushed the car it was going to be a, probably, fatal accident, including him and any other car, or cars around. So, in my opinion, although it looks fun and a big adventure, this races should not be motivated by anyone.

  2. I think they are criminals. They raced in highway with high speed, which was very dangerous, and it would hurt themselves or others. In addition, most highways have speed limit, they exceeded this limit, which is illegal, even the policeman didn't caught them, that not means they are innocent.

  3. This is Kyusuk. Woooooooooow! Amazing story,,,isn't it? I don't think they are criminals. Maybe, they were really threatening other drivers on the highway or themselves, but that racing is strictly a kind of conference. Also, they prepared for 18months which should be long long period enough not to damage others. And, they equipped with essential devices such as GPS for police scanner and the best racing items that would not threaten others. Even if others were dangerous, their spirits to beat the record were really valuable for others too. I really admire them to prepare for only this contest. I've never seen this kind of long trip...haha.

  4. Well I do not think this guy is a hero but he accomplish something that he was desiring to in his life. The car was modify in order to accomplish the car. He added two 22 tanks of gasoline, GPS system, and output powers. He did the race with two other guys. He beat the record with 29 hours. For me this is a good accomplishment.

  5. I don´t think that this guy is a hero.Even he was trying to accomplish a personal goal, that act could hurt himself or anyone else. It is unsane to drive on the highway with high speed. This kind of races should stop to avoid affect to others.

  6. I don't really think that this guy is a hero. Even though he achieved his goal, he put a lot of people in risk. However, i do not think that he is a criminal neither.

  7. This guy could be a hero for himself, for his friends and relatives. However, for me, he's not a hero. And I agree with Pedro, I dont thing he's a criminal either.
