    ,,

    Driving in a dangerous manner. That's the usual one. No front whell on the road means the vehicle is not properly under control. What would happen if you ahd to change direction suddenly? (I grant that most stunters are sensible enough to do their stunts i n places where there is little danger of this)

    The traffic regs are pretty well based on cars.

    Are unicycles allowed on the road?

    doing anything hoonish in view of a cop usually ends up with unwanted plod attention ..

    i dont personally have a problem with lofting the front wheel or taking liberties with the posted speed limit at times.. lord knows ive been guilty of a small amount of anti-social road behavior in the past..


    but doing it in front of a cop is just asking for it ..

    Traditionally, wheelies have worn a charge of careless. Dangerous is stretching it.
    Although, I have seen some that would qualify in spades.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Yep, everyone I know that's been done is either careless or dangerous, because you're considered not to be in full control of the vehicle. And don't quote the stunters thing, most still fall off from time to time practicing.
    NOTHING to do with loss of traction or boy racer laws.
    And for the record I think the boy racer laws suck too, there were already plenty of laws covering it, no need for some twat to make up some more.
