Why can't I just force my way between lanes of traffic to get up to the front of the traffic to be the first to go when the light changes? I guarantee that once the light changes I'll move as quickly as I can to pull away from the traffic to reduce my chances of being in an accident by some unwitting driver.

    That is funny. "Shit and Get"

    Officer: Why did you use launch control pulling away from that light?

    Motorists: "I wanted to be safer"


    That said, I actually was in line at Qdoba a year or so ago and a CSP trooper was in front. I asked him if using launch control on the street was legal.

    He told me there are now laws against it. But do not exceed speed limit, you must be under control, and you cannot be racing another vehicle. But simply full on acceleration itself is not illegal as long as it is not dangerous.

    I had an MP pull me over on my bike on Ft. Riley and told me he could cite me for "show of speed." Apparently, there are many states/jurisdictions that show of speed, or "Exhibition of speed' is a violation. Seems rather subjective.
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Back in my youth I got tickets for excessive acceleration and exhibition of speed.
