Prohibición de carreras callejeras en Míchigan

Explicación Simple

No se puede hacer carreras de autos en las calles o lugares públicos. Eso significa que no puedes competir con otros autos para ver quién es más rápido, ya que es peligroso.

Es como jugar a las escondidas en una casa llena de objetos frágiles: si corres demasiado rápido, puedes romper algo y lastimarte o lastimar a otros.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan y Pedro deciden correr sus autos desde un semáforo en una carretera. La policía los ve y les dice que eso es ilegal, porque están compitiendo y poniendo en riesgo a otros conductores.

Penalidades

Las consecuencias pueden incluir multas y posibles sanciones sobre la licencia de conducir.

MCL 257.626a - Drag races; prohibition on public highways; definition; prima facie evidence Sec. 626a. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any vehicle upon any highway, or any other place open to the general public, including any area designated for the parking of motor vehicles, within this state, in a speed or acceleration contest or for the purpose of making a speed record, whether from a standing start or otherwise over a measured or unmeasured distance, or in a drag race as herein defined. “Drag racing” means the operation of 2 or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating speeds in a competitive attempt to out-distance each other over a common selected course or where timing is involved or where timing devices are used in competitive accelerations of speeds by participating vehicles. Persons rendering assistance in any manner to such competitive use of vehicles shall be equally charged as participants. The operation of 2 or more vehicles either at speeds in excess of prima facie lawfully established speeds or rapidly accelerating from a common starting point to a speed in excess of such prima facie lawful speed is prima facie evidence of drag racing and is unlawful.
