Teens Driving Recklessly in Bay Ridge

A few people wrote about teens driving recklessly in Bay Ridge. Some Ridgites questioned them because they had not see the reckless driving that was described.
We wouldn’t have believe it either because the teens around here are really good (compared to the way teens were years ago).
Right before 3:00 pm, we were driving on 4th Avenue. Approaching us were two fast moving cars – one in the lane next to us going in the opposite direction (which was correct). The other was driving towards us in our lane. The two cars were racing each other and banging into each other’s side. We thought it was a one-time occurrence.
Weeks later, the same thing happened around 3:10 pm on 4th Avenue in the mid 70’s. The drivers weren’t speeding, but they were playing chicken and driving next to each other. Their car handles hit into each other’s doors. I looked at the drivers this time. They appeared to be 16 – 18 years old. I called 911 this time.
The police aren’t patrolling so the teens know they can get away with it on 4th Avenue.
