Drag Racing Ticket

ouch...

the $20-30 u spend to race at the track is far cheaper than a racing ticket


but weve all had those weak moments when annoying people need to be shown whats up

you need to at least talk to a laywer,in alot of states you do loose your liscense with a drag racing ticket and it can cancel your insurance policy which will require you to get a high cost insurance. a decent laywer can get it dropped to a speeding ticket i have seen this done..

A guy I used to work with more than one upped you on this one.. but at the end of the day he paid a lawyer $1500 to get his $1000+ in fines dropped to $200 and required drivers safety training... Usually well worth the $$ but the lawyer can tell you that...

Did the other guy get pulled over too?

that is too bad man. i am one of the first people to back down from a street race and tell them to come to the track with me, but sometime you are just in some mode and the car next to you just sets you off. anyways i am from the south suburbs of chicago (tinley park), what western suburb are you in?

NOT promoting it but if your car is super powerful and super traction, you can pull away from some1 b4 you reach the speed limit and without squealing hehehehe. And never go over the speed limit. Low 5.0 is probably one of those guys wit hthat huge engine and drack radials on the car, lol.

ONLY TO BE DONE ON A CLOSED COURSE OF COURSE..

well at least the other guy got one too. He was probably telling the cop how you pulled up and was baiting him. And he was just defending the honor of the chickies in the car.

this is y i dont mess around on the street... the 5.0 has enough down low power to pull away from someone b4 the speed limit is hit anyway...

Laws seem to be stricter up here, as of I think last year if you are caught street racing in the greater Toronto area, they impound your car and crush it into a cube, and you lose your lisence for a very long time, 10 years or something, I forget. Really makes you think twice about messing-around with idiots on public roads. Cops are everywhere around here.

Just cause you're under the speed limit doesnt mean u're not drag racing. They can still get you, and if not for drag racing, or squeeling tires, it can be for unsafe acceleration i think. Or simply pull u over and look for something illegal on your car (which most of us probably have A LOT of things)

Either way, there is usually always something they can do, atleast in my experience!

yep you are probably right nmcgrawj.

Attorney general says he can seize street-racing cars without laying charges

TORONTO (CP) - The government has the power to seize and destroy cars that have been adapted for street racing, and can do so before a race takes place or any charges are laid, Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said Wednesday.

Car junkies who pour thousands of dollars into their vehicles to make them as fast as possible are wasting their money, Bryant said. He warned potential racers that all it takes is a tip from police to seize and destroy their cars.

"If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car - obviously for the purpose of street racing - then we can seize those vehicles," Bryant said.

"We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts."

Bryant said cars built for street racing are as dangerous as explosives and can cause catastrophic damage.

On Monday, a truck driver was killed after a crash on Highway 400 that was blamed on speed and dangerous driving.

Prabhjit Multani, 20, and Nauman Nusrat, 19, face charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing death by street racing.

Ravi Badhwar, 20, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

"This was a senseless act that cost a man his life and has left his family without a father, brother and grandfather," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said in a release.

"There is no excuse for street racing and aggressive driving, such as the high speeds and unsafe lane changes we have seen recently."

The crash was the third major accident in four days on the busy north-south highway, and the second fatal one.

Bryant said the government has had enough of street racers, and will have no qualms about destroying their cars.

"We don't need to wait until that car hits the road fully loaded," he said.

Bryant also said the Crown has not yet decided whether to appeal the sentences of two young Toronto men who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death after a taxi driver was killed in a crash.

Wang-Piao Dumani Ross and Alexander Ryazanov, both 20, were each handed two-year conditional sentences and two years of probation for their role in the January 2006 crash.

Their lawyers said they weren't racing, although their speeding did constitute dangerous driving.
