I saw some guy blow a stop sign like that once. He whipped out onto the highway and the car behind him started tailgating him. He drove about a block, then hit his brakes. That's when the car behind him hit red and blue lights. It was still dark outside and he didn't notice it was an OHP cruiser.

Racing belongs on a track. We get kids killed here several times a year from street racing.

Funny thing is,
Several years ago, The Chief Of Police in my hometown was a high school buddy, He'd ride with me just to do a sneaky thing or 2. I pulled up to a redlight on the square in town, Young kid pulled up and dared me to a race, I told him I was not interested, Called ME "CHICKEN!!!" Kevin just smiled,,, And showed him "DA' BADGE!" The punk's jaw hit the ground! Was ticketed/ arrested for,
1.Attempted speed contest.
2.No Insurance!
3.Impounded car!
Total $1000.00 in fines!

Chief Kevin Fischer R.I.P. 1960/1998

When them boys write a law that says "public highway" that don't mean the roadsign has to say "higway", that means everywhere.

WSP, County Mounty, Town Clown, they all read the same book before they throws it at you.....

"Public Highway" starts at the end of your driveway in most cases, unless you live on a private road.

Then I would say that they should be a PUBLIC ROADWAY starting from the end of
my drive way.

Well, if you get one of those tickets, you can explain that to the judge and to the other fellas on your public service work crew.

The Vehicle Code and all the other laws have definitions of terms in them as part of the law. Public Hiway = where ever you are that there is other traffic and is not your driveway.

Well anyhow after 30 yrs of driving I know this is'nt the proper place to do this but
in this case the only harm done was the EGO of a chevy driver who thought he could
out do a ford, and who knows one day he might, but at that time it wont be due to
the lack of experience because eventually you learn, not to race FORDS... he'll go
after dodges now.

Every town should have a strip set aside for teenage boys to race on legally, safely away from everyone else.

They used to do that in Colorado at Bandamere Speedway, they would open it up for
Highschool grudge matches, They should do that here at Pacific Raceway.
Up in North Bend Wa. we had a nicely paved road little less than a half mile long and
flatter than a pancake we used to race on, it was south of truck town, left over the
bridge, we with cars always hung out there talkin shop and racing, the good ol days.

in 1989 I had a guy in a beat up mid 70's comaro with a 350 want to race me in my 1988 exp 1.9. I left him in the dust. We raced a 1/4 mile double lane the finish line which was where the 2 lanes went into 1. He dropped a load when I poped the hood so he could see a lil 4 popper that beat his 350. I just didn't tell him I droped 5 grand into the motor and tranny. I realy wish I had had a video of the whole thing. It realy would have been a great ford commercial.
