Can you get a ticket for accelerating hard from a stop light up to the speed limit and hitting the brakes a bit? I just wonder if I dont swerve and dont go past the speed limit, can I still get a ticket for speeding or reckless driving? Its just so damn fun hitting the gas from stop.

 

Qucik answer: Yes. But if you fight it - you can probably get it dismissed.

 

weell gee i think ex of speed.... but not from a real cop.... go out in the country and try it their are a lot of very safe places..

 

Happened to me last year - "Excessive acceleration". No bumping off redline (in 1st!). I didn't even chirp the tires...

 

****, well so much for doing HP upgrades. excessive acceleration? How stupid is that!

 

I hope you fought it. Accelerating too hard, since when can you accelerate too hard, that's the whole point of owning a fast car or any car in general for that matter.

 

Yes, got a ticket my college years, called "jackrabbit start"

 

ya but have you ever none a jack rabbit that new jack **** they can't run in a stright line..........

 

Yes you most def can, and here in NY its also called Exhibition Of Speed, oh well

 

Its also been called "demonstration of acceleration".

 

Here, they call it "Exhibition of Speed" and yes you will get a ticket. The cop might even act like a butthole.

 

I've never heard it refered to as that. That's funny.

 

here is tennessee it is actually called "drag racing" by definition.
