Good Info.

No more top speed runs for me..:lol:

That sucks!

****!!!!!
i hate traffic laws

That sux. I was in orlando a couple years ago for the street racing scene. You guys have some bad Supra's down there.

Pretty soon it's gonna be as bad as Cali, everywhere.

You can blame the Hulkster's son for this!!.. LOL

Screw those laws.. You have sex offenders walking the streets and not being charged to the full punishment they deserve.. Complete B.S. Im not saying yay cuz if they are doing those violations it is breaking the law.. But to enforce this type of crap when they need to focus on more serious stuff out there....

What did the hulkster son do?

So wait someone who drives wrecklessly and causes a 10 car pile up killing 5 isn't serious?:o :rolleyes:



Crash that supra and put his freind in the hospital.

Its called a track take it there.. people making personal choices to put peoples life at risk is stupid.. Im not saying that... Im saying to charge people the way they do for this is kind of harsh compared to how you can rape a girl and get out in a year

Obviously you cant read and understand where im coming from maybe your too high on your avatar.. or maybe your in the sex offender category sticking up for it.. who knows to come off the way you do and not to fully read and "truly" understand my side of it

All laws need to be enforced not just a few.

I would like to see a drivers license that allows one to drive faster than the general public, provided they had taken the tests geared toward high speed driving and manuvers. The license would also include an inspection of your car to deem it stable at those higher speeds. ...but alas pipe dreams. Super Linense Anyone!?

thats a good idea but i dont think it would slide. All them law changes dont mean nothing. If you get a good traffic lawyer theres a chance you could get off with just a fine and driving school.
