Guest Removed Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 lifted from a different forum! Just incase anyone gets a street racing or reckless op ticket, here are the two laws (statutes) that may affect members of CR the most. Although I don't mind giving advice to fellow members, please remember that knowing the law is not always enough to get out of a ticket. I highly recommend that you hire a licensed attorney for more serious offenses such as these. The statutes below are quoted straight out of the OHIO REVISED CODE. In other words,this is Ohio law only. If you have questions about street racing laws in another state, please PM me. *I REALLY THINK THIS IS STICKY WORTHY* § 4511.251. Street racing (A) As used in this section and section 4510.036 [4510.03.6] of the Revised Code, "street racing" means the operation of two or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating speeds in a competitive attempt to out-distance each other or the operation of one or more vehicles over a common selected course, from the same point to the same point, wherein timing is made of the participating vehicles involving competitive accelerations or speeds. Persons rendering assistance in any manner to such competitive use of vehicles shall be equally charged as the participants. The operation of two or more vehicles side by side either at speeds in excess of prima-facie lawful speeds established by divisions (B)(1)(a) to (B)(7) of section 4511.21 of the Revised Code or rapidly accelerating from a common starting point to a speed in excess of such prima-facie lawful speeds shall be prima-facie evidence of street racing. (B) No person shall participate in street racing upon any public road, street, or highway in this state. © Whoever violates this section is guilty of street racing, a misdemeanor of the first degree. In addition to any other sanctions, the court shall suspend the offender's driver's license, commercial driver's license, temporary instruction permit, probationary license, or nonresident operating privilege for not less than thirty days or more than three years. No judge shall suspend the first thirty days of any suspension of an offender's license, permit, or privilege imposed under this division. § 4511.20. Willful or wanton operation on street or highway (A) No person shall operate a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar on any street or highway in willful or wanton disregard of the safety of persons or property. (B) Except as otherwise provided in this division, whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one predicate motor vehicle or traffic offense, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of two or more predicate motor vehicle or traffic offenses, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
