For what? Quick acceleration.



In California, "exhibition of speed", even when no actual speeding has occured, can be ticketed. Though my *guess* is the cop busted the guy for the "rolling stop".

But really, if I didn't even hit 4000 RPM, then it's hardly a jackrabbit start, isn't it? And who's the cop going to believe? Two ricers in a rice rocket, or me in a plain jane 'tour with 3 grandmas in the car?



If the cop wanted to be a d!ck, anytime two people take off with even moderate acceleration could be a "speed contest" . The way the law is written it's open to wide interpretation (and abuse) by the cops. But yeah, plain jane 'tour with grannies is a pretty good insulator against racing charges.
