Got a ticket for a burnout, is it just a fine? or is it points too? I looked on the fines chart and its not listed, I also called the court and since my ticket is not in the system yet, they could not tell me what the fines and/or points are.
Burnout/excessive noise ticket
- Thread starter Moreboost88
- Start date
Where was the ticket issued and what section of state code was the ticket issued under?
I also have recieved one of these in ocean city MD for revving, it was a 2pts and 125$ fine I believe, this has been about 4yrs ago
It was in Detroit, i'm not sure what section it was under ,what should I look for?
On the ticket it usually lists the section of code. Post a copy of the ticket with your personal info redacted.
I be willing to bet that is a moving violation.
Yeah, I think so too.
It may be an "Unsafe Start", that is what my buddy got when he got caught doing a burnout.
In Texas they have done away with "exhibition of acceleration", and is now listed under "Racing" which is a Class B misdemeanor. Most municipalities have a city ordinance called excessive/sudden start or stop, giving the police officer an option to arrest for Racing or cite the driver for the ordinance.
Yes, that is a moving violation in MI. You will be assessed points per SOS (refer to their website for points assessment schedule- SOS - Point System ).
Eventually the district court will have your ticket info and it will "show up" in their system. If this is a very recent ticket, it may take a few days for it to show up in their computer system (even more so if it is Detroit - they are notorious for lengthy delays).
OR, depending on which district court it is, you may be able to look up this information online and save yourself some time:

Local Trial Court Links
Sounds like may want the 36th District (Detroit) court website?
Michigan's 36th District Court - Home Page
From there, select 36th District Traffic: Michigan's 36th District Court - Traffic

^^That is some good info right there.^^
Thanks for the info, I called the secretary of state and they said it is no points and $150 fine. He wrote me up for excessive noise, and I guess it is not considered a moving violation

No, excessive noise is not a moving violation.
Be thankful that he cut you some slack and only wrote you up for the excessive noise. ;-)
What is excessive noise anything beyond 85dB?
Or is it a vague rule on having a normal conversation or not?

The dB allowed generally varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. and can be state, county, or city. most of the ones I have seen are in the 75-85 dB range Whether the cop writes a ticket for it is pretty subjective and depends on the circumstances. Op got a HUGE break apparently
In Florida it is decided by distance from the vehicle in which the noise can be heard.
You're kidding me right? Do cars not rev to the red line when millions of people stomp the gas in their automatics on daily basis?
Unless you had retarded loud exhaust and were doing it in a place you knew better (private housing area or odd hours for example), that's completely bogus.
As long as we're pulling out SPL meters, I seriously doubt a Mustang even with an aftermarket exhaust can drown out the noise of an accelerating semi or school bus...
