GEORGE TOWN: The thrill, the adrenaline rush and the attention – these are among the reasons why teenagers are turning roads into illegal race tracks, say experts.

Many adolescents believe taking part in illegal street races can help release stress and anger, portraying themselves as rebels without a cause.

Weighing in: Bono and Chooi share their thoughts on the psychology behind the pursuit of illegal racing. “They tend to consume ketum juice, which is cheaper than drugs. It gives them a high that drives them to defy all obstacles during the race,” she said.“There is a link between masculinity and speeding,” she said.

“Parental negligence is a major issue. As many parents are working, they do not have time to oversee their children. We need more parental control and monitoring,” she said.Psychological expert Dr Chooi Weng Tink said young riders often feel invincible and thus were more willing to take part in risky activities, even if they were illegal.“But once he is with friends, peers or a big community, the inhibition is lowered.
