j255c Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Recently i was pulled over by a cop quoting that i was spinning my tires and accelerating too fast in 1st gear. He issued me this ticket, but could not give me a fine for speeding since it was only done in 1st gear which falls under the speed limit of 30mph. Does anyone have any mechanical technical print outs, or know of a site i can use to argue this in court. This was done on dry pavement and my tires were not spinning, so im going to try to fight this one. It is really impossible to spin the tires in these cars unless its on wet/snow conditions.

ABPillinois Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Go to court and say you accidentally slipped off your clutch pedal and "spun your tires" worked for me on my previous none AWD MT car. :rolleyes:"All right, brain, I don't like you and you don't like me - so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer."

ScoopMan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 What bs! Maybe do an article search, Edmunds, R&T, C&D, MT.... Problem is most of those will probably say something about how QUICK the LGT is. Yours even more so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 How much is the ticket? Irrelevant. In MA a ticket is 30% (or ~50% if you have discounts) hike in insurance for 6 years! Fight every ticket, especially such BS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 AFAIK the OP has an out of state license.....So no messed up Mass insurance for him. http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 AFAIK the OP has an out of state license.....So no messed up Mass insurance for him. Well, they will still create MA record for him. If he every settles in MA and gets MA license this will come back and haunt him. Fight every damn ticket. The system is corrupt and needs to be fought. I wish every damn ticket was taken to court, the whole money making machinery would grind to halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ask the judge if the court could adjourn to parking lot for a demonstration. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j255c Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I was seriously considering making a video of my car accelerating in 1st and using it as evidence that i cant spin tires. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I've been at a few stop lights where I've heard tires chirp and squeal but that is because some r-tard behind or next to me was trying to race. A few of those occasions a cop has been within an ear shot to hear the tires chirp, but never reacted. Now I'm always weary of driving around and a cop thinking I was trying to race someone if some r-tard tries to race me. If you are going to take your car and video tape yourself to prove that you can't squeal your tires on hard acceleration then you should make sure that you aren't taping on public roads! :-) That might not look so good for you showing it to the judge.

j255c Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Which is why im hoping someone knows of a technical mechanical layout/diagram/write up about why subaru awd cars cannot spin tires in dry conditions unless they have stupid amounts of power or they are dumping clutch. There were no other cars around me either which is why i dont think its subject to pull me over. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help, JeffJeff - Where exactly did this happen ? Does the ticket give the exact location ? Maybe we could get you some digital photos of the intersection and prove that there either are no burn-out marks, or maybe if there are some black marks, that they are the wrong size, and couldn't have been done by your Subaru. "Accelerating too fast" is a totally subjective judgement. I am not entirely sure what laws there are that apply here. My *guess* is that if you show up to fight this ticket they will drop this charge, especially if you never exceeded thirty MPH. Has anyone in here actually received a similar ticket ?

Andyjo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm guessing they can put it under 'reckless driving' the citation SHOULD have a chapter/section on it, for the Mass General Law they cited you on, if not, well then they have nothing on you. http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejoy1220 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Jeff I've easily broken all 4 tires loose on dry pavement on summer tires in 35* weather hitting boost exiting a corner, but not plain accelerating in first gear. Unless you dumped the clutch or have more HP than you have now, I don't see it happening like that. Man cops just love you don't they wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j255c Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 yes i can spin tires coming out of a turn and coming into boost when i auto x, but thats when im driving at limits, this was just a good little straight line 1st gear love. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instanced Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The correct term is "Misuse of power" up in NH... my friend back in HS did a burnout at an intersection, like a moron, and a cop pulled him over for it. I know I can't get my tires to burnout on dry pavement... but I wouldn't want to anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
