what does that mean?

 

You mean aid and abet? Simply put, it means to help, assist, take part in, etc. Anything is really up to the discretion of the cop anymore, so he could write you up for cvc 23109(c) "aiding and abetting: exhibition of speed" if you are standing in the same parking lot if he even has the slightest premonition that you had anything to do with it.

But then you could always bring up the old, "What is a motor vehicle?" argument. I don't travel in a motor vehicle, do you? That's a whole 'nother topic.

 

Hehehehe that was a funny yet pwnage post :P. Referencing laws and all lol. And can I just say...wtf did you expect? If I got caught for doing doughnuts...which is completely pointless by the way, I wouldn't even let anyone catch wind of it. Nice :P.

 

I got a exhibition of speed ticket a while back when I barely peeled out in a parking lot. The cops didnt see it, but heard it and ticketed me when I turned the corner.

It was when I was in college in SD. Apparently its a misdemeanor and I had to go to Superior Court to fight it. I dont quite recall what happened, but I do remember the cop BSing about me doing 40 in a crowded parking lot (that would have been impossible, and all this other junk).

Not sure if they revised the law, but I didnt get my misdemeanor, maybe it was some other offense, cuz I ended up with 1 point on the record and a 200 fine.

I think the technicality was that I wasn't "racing" or engaging in any sort of timed or contest with another car. Therefore it wasnt exhibition of speed. Frankly I was just pissed the starbucks closed so I was peeling out.

But it seems this is a very loose law that cops will give out to anyone now. But just my 2 cents. Might want to check which court you have to go to, and hope theres a good defense attorney there to back you up.

 

uhh go get your license back. the cop still has it right?

 

No way can they ticket you for revving your engine??? THat's complelete bull****.

 

why not? what is normally associated with revving your engine? RACING, by doing that your giving them any and all reasonable doubt to pop you.. pretty chicken shyt yes.. but they can do whatever they want to you if you give them reason to

 

so basicly you can be cited for watching some one burn out... seems the police have a little too much power.

 

If a cop is catches you doing donuts, and decides to be leniant, they might cite you for "VC 38312 - Unsafe Start".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you go to College, and you can't afford the tickets you get for the driving you do, then man-up and pay your tickets, or sell your car.

 

lol fo real....cops hella eye on subaru's and evos...*sigh*

 

Here's my advice...

 

who hasn't done donuts in an empty parking lot? or something to that effect? I just had a question on the legal side of this thing.

if you flamers had actually read beyond my first post, you would have encountered this:

 

im not trying to flame you , im just trying to inform.. your ticket could potentially be a misdemeanor ( check the ticket to see if it was marked as a traffic infraction or misdemeanor) misdemeanors obviously are a mandatory court appearance, in which case you have to bend over to the judge, or have a mighty good excuse of why you were doing donuts...you better make him feel sorry cuz max penalty is something like $900.. goodluck with that

 

and that advice was helpful why? Please tell me you've never went at least 1 mph over speed limit. Never made an lane change without signaling. c'mon now, read thru his entire post before flaming for christ's sake.

 

I wasn't calling you a flamer, sorry about that. The flamers know who they are haha.

I checked out the ticket, it doesn't explicitly say misdemeanor or infraction. However, the checkbox for "booking required" is checked, and it states I have to report to the PD for fingerprinting. I looked up the code, the fine is supposed to range between 350$ and 1000$. Time to pay up and get on with life. Drifting is clearly a more expensive sport than speeding hahaha.

And I still have to get my licence back.
