Default Who here has been pulled over for street racing?

I just read a post that SAI put up and some folks were saying that you could goto jail or pay $2,000, etc. Is that true?

Does this mean that if some corvette owner revs at me on the freeway and we go from 50 to 80mph racing - if a cop pulls us over, we get thrown in jail?

MAN - if thats true, .... I just had no idea.

If I remember right if your caught the second time it becomes a 3rd degree felony. Can anyone imagine going to prison for racing. lol Guess you would have to be stupid to get caught twice like that.

Well, dont forget that thanks to fucktard Gov. Perry, you can go to jail for ANY class c except open container and speeding.

You could go to jail for not using the sidewalk thanks to that stupid ****

We can thank the anti-street racing on Fast and Furious movie.

You can also thank all the stupid ***** that have no idea how to handle speed/power. Not everyone is a race car driver. Dumb people wrecking and dieing is a major cause of stiff penalties. I raced sprints for 8 years, and still am very cautious when racin out there. I'll "roll" sometimes. but thats about it, unless we go out to mexico, but that is rare
