Registration, proof of insurance, and DL are givens. Most states can impound your car for not having one of those items. MOST of the time the officer lets you off with a ticket. then you go to court, show you had insurance, registration, and a DL at the time of the ticket and it gets dropped.

This doesn't sound too bad to me. UNLESS, they start impounding cars that were just there and not caught doing anything other than loitering. This is just a tact to stop the 'organized' street racing. you would be surprised at how close to home it really is. They may not be racing in your town, but they may be meeting there and then going outside the town to race. They are just trying to stop the 'organized' racing.

I was talking to a guy the other day who is from cali. He was here to do an install and he was bragging about his street racing lifestyle. He said people are blowing the street racing out of proportion. He said one of his friends did a study to see how many deaths were linked to street racing in a year. he claimed they could only find 5 which I don't believe at all! Especially when I remember the news last spring in oklahoma city. there were 2 incidents, 1 was a pair of mustangs racing. 1 lost control and rolled several times, the other left the scene while his friend died. The 2nd was 2 civics. One lost control and slammed into a mother and 2 kids head on in their explorer. Everyone in the civic Died (4 kids 16-18 none wearing seatbelts) and the family in the explorer was in critical condition.

Me, organized street racing is totally wrong! I've been to them when I was in high school. Kids standing so close that if a car lost control on the launch.. they die! A quick light to light at 1am when there is no traffic and speeds might get to 60mph.. i don't have much of a problem with that. 100's of people gathering around a lane just wide enough for 2 cars is just retarded!
