Your at the stop light, about to race the Evo. It turns green, you dont accelerate fast enough to burn rubber and there is no one to endanger. The race finishes without breaking the speed limit. The question is, at what point of acceleration can you get a ticket? What i am knowledgeable of, is that if you leave marks on the road or weave through traffic like a maniac, you get a ticket. But at what point does it become illegal? You can get arrested for reckless endangerment but Ive seen cars go off the red light light pretty fast in front of cops and nothing is done about it.
Are they just lazy cops or do they have to follow an acceleration law in order to chase them? If someones in there VW bug and another is in there corvette and they both put the pedal to the medal, the corvette is probably going to get a ticket due to him having a higher acceleration rate. Is this a little unfair? Are faster cars more targeted? As a kid i remember that we were behind a Porsche going around 5 mph above the speed limit. Cars were passing us left and right and it was almost dangerous even though we were above the speed limit. With all the cars passing the poor porsche, he was the one that got the blue and red lights in his mirrors. It started my thought on if they target sports cars more. I always thought it was a little unfair but its there choice. Comment on your opinion below on your thoughts of cops thoughts of sports cars.
