I got the unn. accel. ticket for auto-crossing/drifiting through a long strip mall parking lot following a buddy in his Focus. WE coulve gotten pegged for far more serious things but we were let off somewhat easy. Having 3 police cars pull over 2 cars right in front of the doors at walmart is a little embarrassing.

Zero. Minnesota doesnt use a point system.

If you get 3 tickets in a year, they suspend your license for 90 days. I got 3 tickets last year, but I talked to the prosecutor and got it reduced to a $1000/90 days in jail sentence and had to pay $300 of the fine and 0 days in jail.

Only tickets I got was erratic driving, which was just so the cop could pull me over and try and search my car, which I beat him in court. Also I got another ticket failure to retain control of my vehicle or something like that, when I got t-boned by a dump truck, once they proved he ran the red that ticket got dropped too. I didn't know getting hit by 20,000 pounds and getting thrown across US 1 was ilegal.....

Cops down here like to throw a lot of sh*t at the wall and see what sticks, it really is bad.

Stop drifting FWD cars people!!!! Not only does it wear out your tires, but it is physically impossible to drift a car that does not have rear drive wheels! Name:  sign4.gif
