Well at about 1 in the morning on my way home from work I did a stupid thing, no one was around and it was nice and quite so i decided to have a little fun a do a quick punch from 0-40 in the srt. it was from a stop sign, and you guessed it the city police were right around the corner when i did it and i saw the lights right after i let off. This was not on a residential street btw train tracks run parallel to the road with a couple small shops on the other side that were closed obviously. I shake my head at my own stupidity, after a 15 minute wait he comes back with a ticket improper start from a stopped position. Tried to find this on line and all i could find was improper start from a parked position. Wonder if the cop wrote it wrong? and for the life of me i couldn't think why he was where he was anyways, when it struck me the local tavern around the corner was about to close and I think this guy was planning on catching some patrons after the bar let out. =P

 

Never heard of that one - here that would be "Exhibition of Speed"
This way they get you even if you do not spin the tires.

 

doing a wheelie on a crotch rocket from a stopped to rolling position, i got improper use of acceleration added to the list maybe he meant that.... sounds close enough,I wouldnt be doing it in NEW YORK

 

Up here they call it "display of power" & it's an over $100 fine.

 

All the names of the "citations" listed in this thread are bullcrap IMO. How are you endangering anyone with the rate of your acceleration? Maybe if you do a large burnout, but what difference does it make how fast you get to the posted limit?

 

They use the backhanded excuse of "noise issues". Hmmm, does this mean if I create too much noise leaving rubber behind that's worse than listening to our neighbor's dog barking constantly for 4 hours? Or our other neighbors blaring Kid Rock at jet engine volume on a Sunday morning? As long as I'm not tearing-*** through a residential neighborhood I wholeheartedly agree with the above sentiment!

 

This country is a joke. seems the word Freedom and America just don't go hand in hand anymore.

 

I had no idea that they could ticket you for that !!
I make a regular habit of achieving the speed limit with authority, and not slowing down for turns. I thought that was how you got to play with your sports car without breaking the speed limit. If they start doing BS tickets like that here in western NC, I might as well trade in my XF for a Prius.

 

Yeah, I do that all the time. That's how I always accelerate, plus I generally go 20+ at least. The joke of this country is that I'm a much better driver than at least 80% of the people I see driving and I'm the one who's gonna get a ticket when I see people driving HORRIBLY while going the speed limit.
