I was just wondering what happens when you get caught street racing? Also, what happens when you get caught just being there without a car? Make sure you say what State you live in with your info. I would really like to hear from Wisconsin members cuz that's where I live, but anyone can reply for other members sake. Thanks!

Not quite sure. However, I don't make it a habit of riding around with people irresponsible enough to street race.benben84 said:that would suck. If you are caught being there in someones car does that still happen to you? Does it affect your license?
if i remember right, here in los angeles, they crush your car. atleast that's what the instructor said at the traffic school i attended. he said he saw a very very nice camaro get crushed because of street racing. as to the validity of that, i am not certain
i'm not sure about your license but i know they can arrest/fine you. point is, don't do it, go to a trackbenben84 said:that would suck. If you are caught being there in someones car does that still happen to you? Does it affect your license?
Arizona... Word!

Spectating With or Without a Car Over 18: License taken until 25 years of age, minor fines of up to $500 plus traffic school.
I know that some people here in Arizona might say this is wrong however I have seen all three incidents. I have two buddies that were out one night about 10 miles north of the city which out here is Sheriffs territory and sorry for the language but they bend you over and **** you royaly here. So, they were out in one of my buddies moms Mercedes CLK230 and were still caught for spectacting. So yeah, they are not leaniant here at all.

just dont do it. go to a track.
i am against it although i love playing with my car which leads me to a question.
how do you define street racing?
if i spun my wheels and accelerate of the line but never go past speed limit, is that street racing? driving past the speed limit with another car chasing you (whom you dont know and didnt agree to race), is that street racing? how about on a highway? i could think of a few other scenarios, but ihow does the police define o decide whethere or not it was street racing? does the crowd make a difference? the time of the day (or night), the amount of cars?

Well I have been to a few street races but the reason I am asking is because I have only three points left until I loose my license and I'm worried if I'm ever with my friend and race someone while he is driving that I would get in big trouble and lose my license. I can't afford to lose them since I drive to work for a living.
BTW I agree with you guys about not street racing but it's hard when you find a pontential rival and he asks the question. When I do race or are involved in racing we make sure it's totally safe for everyone but the drivers cuz it's never 100% safe for them anyways.
It's all in the perception of the man. If the man can go to court and convince the judge you were racing then it doesnt matter if you were under the speed limit because who knows if you would have gone over it if you were not stopped. IN virginia if there is a crowd and it was orginized then BYE-BYE car!
Racing does not even have to be on the streeT!!!!!
