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.
