Too Race Or Not To Race Is The Question

[justin911]

if your car went atiny bit sideways they could get you for loss of traction.

you could just drive normaly and not have to worry................

[R-SPEC]

i'd guess to them any kind of wheel spin would be considered as "hooning" "burnout" etc

having said that, i do think some cops are considerate at times.

once at the lights on a very wet day, on the tram tracks and right next to me at the lights was a marked cop car. i took off and rears starting spinning (not intended ofcourse) the cop just looked at me and drove off... on a different day/different copper and i woulda probably got done for it

you cant generalise on anything these days...

^^ i was wandering that too if i launch at saw 3500rpm and dump the clutch but dont go over the speed limit.. is there any law i'd be breaking?

if you dumped the clutch at 3500rpm and didn't spin your wheels the cop would probably just laugh at your car

lol i didnt mean without wheelspin but can they get u for a bit of wheel spin on launch? its not like doing a burnout or nothing its RWD so its bound to happen..

Yes they can get you for spinning the wheels.

And its not bound to happen unless you don't know how to drive.

[cosmokram3r]

i know how to drive mate im just saying if they catch me launching.. wasnt sure if they can get u for a bit of wheel spin..

[R31Nismoid]

Just ring the EPA and report there car as a noisy/smokey vehcile.

Pretty sure they are not exempt from Environmental Laws.

Pity its illegal to make false reports

Anyhow as justin said in the wasteland, whats the point of this thread overall?

You shouldnt street race... so "race or not race" isnt even something to be considered...

[DogKnight]

Even if you dont wheel spin, if you are going flat out in each gear up to the speed limit, the change from first to second will most likely make your car wobble at the rear. And if the cops are trying to egt you, they will probably pick on you for that. There isnt much point to red-lining through first before having to slow down in second.

[krzysiu]

Haha yeah for sure if your wheels don't spin and you flaw it all the way to the limit they WILL get you for unnecessary acceleration or something like that.

[KezR33]

Damn, i hate the police even more now. I've only encountered few decent officer in my life and the rest just seemed to be arrogant assholes, carrying a head up the ass attitude.. Hate to generalize but can't avoid it at times, so its better to avoid them at all costs...

I bet they have a similar opinion of import drivers. It's a pity there are so many dick head import drivers out there, makes the rest of us look bad.

[fuzzy_scuz]

BTW is the Black tinit on the unmarked VE's legal?

Seriously I have seen people defected for the same!

Lawful exemption once their in uniform?

Also about the launching from the lights crap, I wouldn't try it because the popo could still get you for "Engaging in a race or speed trial". Taken from http://www.dpc.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes...33;OpenDocument

They also used to have something about "unnecessary exhibition of acceleration".

LMAO. If they dont like you they have something they can get you with some way or another.

lol i do this to ppl in commonwhores who try to race

its funny

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

the unnecessary acceleration law states that it is up to OFFICER DISCRETION as to whether you were breaking said law... the same is for breaking traction... all you would need is the tiniest noise (which aint hard with FAT tyres )

also it is illegal to swear directly at an officer, or make an obscene guesture towards one... i'm sure a few of you will remember the debacle a few years ago when that guy stuck his finger up at a speed camera (when they were run by cops) and got snapped and niel mitchel (i think) paid the $1000 fine for him... then the cops kicked up a fuss but there was technically no law against "gifting" $1k and him paying the fine....

[evade]

so..

did you actually see that he was a cop or are you just assuming?

maybe it wasn't a cop at all...
