If you got caught drifting a roundabout....

[MrFlibbles]

What would you get done for?

Careless/ Dangerous?

ETA: Not that I ever had or would condone such behaviour.

Depends on circumstances, but would usually start at a consideration of dangerous driving. Ultimately CPS would realise they'll probably get a guilty plea for careless, and go with that.

Would that be if there were no other vehicles, persons, or things to damage within, say, 200 metres of the RAB?
That is to say, if there is literally nothing to harm, then what is the harm?

To play devils advocate to my own question - if you got caught, then you clearly hadnt seen the copper who'd most likely be in a car.

rackless driving

I'd take that one to court, you've got to have a rack to get the lock on!

The other way of looking at it would be the scenario whereby an inexperienced driver loses control of a RWD car, say on a diesel spill, but manages to keep control by steering into the skid.

Would this also lead to a charge?

I think its interesting how and where the line would be drawn?

Thanks both

Seems to me that as with most forms of 'enthusiastic' driving, the trick is to only do it where the probability of getting caught by the Bib is acceptably low. For some people 'acceptably low' might mean zero i.e. never knowingly do it - I expect that most people have more relaxed attitude to risk though.

Donutting outside the copshop probs a bad idea then?

The OP, assuming he or she had a genuine worry, is pushed aside to clear the battleground.

It's a discussion forum, not a FAQ site.
No one should be pushed aside, but often the OP will have had his question answered before other participants have finished their discussion.

The OP lights blue touch paper and retires to safe distance

I was genuinely interested when I posted the question - but I also knew it was going to be subject to controvesy and debate. Such discussions all add to lifes rich tapestry!

Russ,


Cheers.

No problem, I didn't read it that way anyway as it happens.
