    +1 , TIME AND PLACE ETC ETC. BUT THAT ACELERATION LAW IS STUPID AND IF A COP ENFORCES IT HES A STUPID CUNT

    lol at this thread, the cop did the right thing. The OPs friend is a retard that got what he deserved. The cops are not the issue here... I can't count the number of times of gotten off the stupidest of shite in my youth, and +1 for my mates... the issue is that how did someone retarded enough to do wheelies in front of cops that he knew were there get a license?

    Try this equation......

    Loss of Traction = Offence under the Boy Racer act = Valid Vehicle impoundment.

    This is one of labours recently introduced policies, It was exercised about a year ago with a rather wealthy Tauranga buisnessman flooring his latest model mercedes out of an intersection when the lights went green.
    The screeching tyres were claimed to be a loss of traction and hence his vehicle was impounded for 28 days and the driver was fined under the boy racer act.

    The driver tried to claim that the traction control had been accidently knocked and switched off, therefore his usual amount of traction wasn't available, and hence the screetching! The driver still lost badly in court.

    Nope. For a static (which is what a tyre surface basically is in relation to the road) frictional force (or potential opposition force, as it really is), this force is directly proportional to the downwards weight force.

    So, it could be argued, the total friction from both wheels is conserved during a wheelie, because of the weight re-distribution! No loss of traction here Ossifer!
    Eat the riches! Eat your money! The revolution will be DELICIOUS!!!

    I'd tell the judge he was on P at the time as from what I see on TV and the papers they then reduce your sentence due to being out of your mind. Arse-wipes would get a longer term from me for taking the shit in the first place.

    Nothing against wheelies, but doing it in front of a cop and expecting to get away with it? Plain stupid for leaving his # plate on! I don't know the true legalities of the law, but wouldn't being on one wheel count as loss of control as you cant steer or brake as efficiently as if you've got both wheels on the ground?
