[QUOTE="JerryC, post: 11195498, member: 113820"] I'm not a lawyer, however this is where I think a lawyer would target, [I]5) in connection with a drag race, an exhibition of vehicle speed or acceleration or to make a vehicle speed record. [/I] Worded such that the exhibition of speed is connected to a drag race. The admitted acts do not meet the requirements for a drag race. I'm sure what he did admit to is illegal, but it doesnt appear to me to be "racing on the highway". To the OP, even IF I am correct, this doesnt mean that officer can't write you a different citation if the officer(s) feel like doing so. Get the lawyer and let them figure it out. -------------------------------------------------------------------- § 545.420. RACING ON HIGHWAY. (a) A person may not participate in any manner in: (1) a race; (2) a vehicle speed competition or contest; (3) a drag race or acceleration contest; (4) a test of physical endurance of the operator of a vehicle; or (5) in connection with a drag race, an exhibition of vehicle speed or acceleration or to make a vehicle speed record. (b) In this section: (1) "Drag race" means the operation of: (A) two or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating speeds in a competitive attempt to outdistance each other; or (B) one or more vehicles over a common selected course, from the same place to the same place, for the purpose of comparing the relative speeds or power of acceleration of the vehicle or vehicles in a specified distance or time. (2) "Race" means the use of one or more vehicles in an attempt to: (A) outgain or outdistance another vehicle or prevent another vehicle from passing; (B) arrive at a given destination ahead of another vehicle or vehicles; or (C) test the physical stamina or endurance of an operator over a long-distance driving route. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
