To be a bit more Precise and add to QD's. It is called "Exibition of Speed" and falls under the "Street Racing" portion of GA State Law. I thought it was article 183-a or something like that. That is up to carries a MANDATORY one year license suspension, and a fine up to 1500.00. It is not a felony but sucks as bad as one.

I had two within 2 weeks of each other back in 03. Once Cobb, one Gwinett. I got a lawyer and beat them both, but it still cost 1500 bucks to hire the attorney.

Oh and the one in Gwinett was tossed out, the Judge stated it should have NEVER been brougth before the court. The officer based the entire incendent because he heard my pipe and BOV as I was shifting. Never broke the speed limit or spun the wheels. Be funny if it was the same officer.
