Quote from Ron:
"I think the $500 speeding exhibition ticket for chirping a tire is asinine too. But that is now the law in the smaller Republic of Redding."

In Dallas that qualifies as an 'exhibition of speed'---$1500 AND impound the car. In Dallas if your car is impounded, God only knows what you'll get back--if anything. At least here they gave the judges leeway. They are really hammering the street racers (a good thing). The street racer crowd have killed quite a few people in the area the last few years. It really is history repeating itself. Sooner /later some politician will start ranting over 500 hp cars on the street and the insurance crowd will kill our little 'golden era'.

427Sharpe,

No argument from me on that. Fortunately we don't have much street racing here and I too agree that is is dangerous and should be severely penalized. The chirping a tire is a speed exhibition here also as I stated in an earlier post, but the first fine the last I heard, which was two years ago was $ 500 and then if you got a 2nd one it was $1500. I am sure they may have gone up but I don't intend to find out by doing it. So far as I know they don't impound the car here unless you are under the influence of something and then I have no problem at all with that. In fact I think that with the exception of automatically impounding the car every time, your law is better than ours. I just don't think that a chirp when starting from a stop light should be considered a speed exhibition when you are in bumper to bumper traffic doing 15 MPH.

Ray,

Of course you win as I am not going to debate this. And as I am sure, you have never broken the speed limit, I can't possibly compete against you because I have. And I had no excuses for it either, just going faster than was posted.

I break the speed limit all the time - if I get stopped, I either go to traffic school or pay the fine - that's life.

There was a short piece about this on Hannity last night - I believe I heard that this was her third speeding ticket in a short time - if that's true the fine just could be right on the money. Can you imagine if her water broke while she was speeding to the hospital? She could have killed the child.

Let's face it, we all play with speed around here - you play, you pay if you are not smart or at least alert.

Ray,

Finally we agree.

as opposed to say................ drunk driving?

I'll bet a paycheck that its about 10 to 1 fatality ratio DUI vs street racing.


Come on,guys!Where's your Carroll Shelby spirit?Lie to the powers that be. Show up in court with a reciept saying the clutch linkage problem has been fixed by your local shop.

Bill,

Sorry but that quote is not from me. Please read the post before you start blaming people for things they don't say. My part of the post was about the breaking of traction and it being a speeding exhibition ticket. In fact if you will read my post following that one you will see that I said we don't have a big street racing problem here. One of the few problems that we have so far escaped thank goodness.

Thanks, I like being predictable. Also, trim.
