i change lanes and merge slowww...there is no way he could have given me a ticket...i would have had the video out of his car before his shift was over and he would be a crossing guard for a while.Originally Posted by CRVTech

But then look at it this way...if you're dipping in and out of traffic, even SLOW, that's considered wreckless driving. You take it to court and it's a punk kid in a "modified vehicle"'s word against an officer of law. I mean, changing lanes twice is one thing...weaving around every car in line is completely different.Originally Posted by speedminded
yeah, but you'd have to be doing something illegal for that...i hate doing it but passing on the right isn't exactly illegal in this country, in germany they would practically hang you for it. As long as you're changing one lane at a time, not like 4 lanes across like i see everyday on 85, or switching back and forth...left right left right then there is no offense being made. just myOriginally Posted by CRVTech

That's not exactly true. Excessive lane changing, however you do it-slow or fast, is considered wreckless driving. It's borderline between wreckless and maintaining your lane.Originally Posted by speedminded
This is just a comment, not an attack towards you. Later, QD.
yeah and she's right about the modded car too...doesn't really matter if you are actually doing anything wrong or not...they can still give you a ticket. Then you have the choice of crying to the officer's supervisor/captain or attempting to face the judge. normally you'll lose. I have caught two officer's lying under oath in court, with the judge's knowing it too, and i still got the ticket on both of them. ohh well. you win some and you lose some.Originally Posted by quickdodge®

I thought it was pretty common knowledge about how strict cali is on modified vehicles. They can pull you over pop your hood and check for anything tht isn't stock, it's wierd all the cops are trained and know aftermarket parts are, they can pop your hood and rattle off names of everything. I saw a video ummm, maybe a year ago, from a local cali news station about how they are cracking down on street racing, and they are going to start confiscating cars caught street racing. They were either going to take your vehicle and sell it in an auction (where the goverment keeps the money, and your fucked) or like in the news report, they were simply going to demolish your vehicle! They should an 80's lookin iroc camaro getting crushed after it's owner was caught street racing in it, it was the first car from this new law.
