You can be turning or taking off and even if you are doing a totaly safe and reasonable speed they make a bit of a squeel...Maybe they should keep crap rubber out of the shops.

What about my job, my house, MY FAMILY????????Great Post To think, that could all happen just because of mistaken identity or a cop has had a bad day.

This is the problem I have with the laws, too open for interpretation. BTW, I am a mechanic, I have mechanical sympathy, I don't thrash my cars, I don't race on the road (I leave that for the track), I don't do burnouts, I don't 'drift' unless by accident (however yes I do speed but not stupidly, approx 10-15% over) and I have a young family that I WILL NOT RISK ( I always tell my wife she has never seen me drive quick) so these laws don't really apply to me however if I get done for a bullsh*t interpretation then by god I will be PISSED. IF I did deserve to lose my car so be it, I will cop it on the chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point dismissing us with ongoing futile arguments with what we say and try to clarify. We do not make any of this up and suddenly pluck it out of thin air.I.B.

As with all pieces of legisltaion firstly magistrates interprete it then judges then high court judges whatever the determination of the highest court is the precident at the time, thus the simple explenation I typed up in laymans terms.
