Burnout question.

[snaked]

Just got new tires, so I HAVE to burn the old ones off. ;-) I know that private parking lots are KIND OF exempt from normal traffic laws, but I just read that "reckless driving" can be ticketed in those. Would burn-outs be considered under that, or excessive display of power? Or... So on and so forth.
I live in/around Portland, OR, for possible sub/state-law reasons.

I know, I must be dense to have a Mustang and not know where around my place that I can do some smokey burnouts.

You bet it will! That will get you a room in the Cross Bar Hotel. Are you willing to be a guest?

 

[snaked]

Will it really? I guess I won't be doing that then. Haha.
Wait a second, there might be drag racing at PIR tomorrow night. I'll have to check that out.

Can get you up to a 12 month reservation in VA along with $2500 in fines and your o/l suspended too.

I've never heard of such harsh consequences for that, just what my friend's parents say. Haha. I guess it was just the 60's and 70's.
So what about on empty backroads? If an Officer happens to be headed down that way, same consequences?

That is reckless driving, it is a criminal charge and can be enforced ANYWHERE. Got it?

Do it and don't get caught.

Not an "arrestable" offense in Ohio. Regardless, not really worth the ticket with nice fines associated with.

Can't you find a car show or something...some of them sponsor burnout contests...A reputable show will have the safety measures in place usually on a track where these things are allowed.

That would be my course of action if I was looking to finish off some tires. :burnout:

Breathing carbon monoxide FTW.

So, is that against the law?

That was great!

See below.

The only thing missing from that video is the instruction for the driver to take deep breaths.

^ Thanks man. I was just wondering.

It was pretty funny, you have to admit. HAHA

 

[snaked]

I guess the late night street drags start up tonight at the track in Portland. I'm gonna go there and burn 'em off.

And, that video is awesome and hilarious.

Surely wreckless driving would not apply if you have a 1/8 mi driveway like me, right? It is gated and in the country. I mean if I can legally shoot guns on my property why not burnouts.

 

[silver03svt]

Can you legally smoke pot, screw prostitutes, or murder somebody on your property? Nope, don't think so. All criminal offenses like reckless driving in most states.

Don't hate the messenger.
