Whats the violation that should be cited when one is caught doing donuts? BTW not on a public street, at a fast food restuarant parking lot.

Here is the Ca VC code. Hope this helps!

This is what you could get charged with. Did they cite you? Did your car get towed? Where was this at?

~John

23109. (a) A person shall not engage in a motor vehicle speed
contest on a highway. As used in this section, a motor vehicle speed
contest includes a motor vehicle race against another vehicle, a
clock, or other timing device. For purposes of this section, an
event in which the time to cover a prescribed route of more than 20
miles is measured, but where the vehicle does not exceed the speed
limits, is not a speed contest.
(b) A person shall not aid or abet in any motor vehicle speed
contest on any highway.
(c) A person shall not engage in any motor vehicle exhibition of
speed on a highway, and no person shall aid or abet in a motor
vehicle exhibition of speed on any highway.
(d) A person shall not for the purpose of facilitating or aiding
or as an incident to any motor vehicle speed contest or exhibition
upon a highway in any manner obstruct or place a barricade or
obstruction or assist or participate in placing a barricade or
obstruction upon any highway.
(e) A person convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) shall be
punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 24 hours
nor more than 90 days or by a fine of not less than three hundred
fifty-five dollars ($355) nor more than one thousand dollars
($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. That person shall
also be required to perform 40 hours of community service. The court
may order the privilege to operate a motor vehicle suspended for 90
days to six months, as provided in paragraph (8) of subdivision (a)
of Section 13352. The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle
may be restricted for 90 days to six months to necessary travel to
and from that person's place of employment and, if driving a motor
vehicle is necessary to perform the duties of the person's
employment, restricted to driving in that person's scope of
employment. This subdivision does not interfere with the court's
power to grant probation in a suitable case.
(f) A person convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) for an
offense that occurred within five years of the date of a prior
offense that resulted in a conviction of a violation of subdivision
(a) shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less
than four days nor more than six months and by a fine of not less
than five hundred dollars ($500) nor more than one thousand dollars
($1,000). The court shall order the privilege to operate a motor
vehicle suspended for a period of six months, as provided in
paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352. In lieu of the
suspension, the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle may be
restricted for six months to necessary travel to and from that person'
s place of employment and, if driving a motor vehicle is necessary to
perform the duties of the person's employment, restricted to driving
in that person's scope of employment. This subdivision does not
interfere with the court's power to grant probation in a suitable
case.
(g) If the court grants probation to any person punishable under
subdivision (f), in addition to the provisions of subdivision (f) and
any other terms and conditions imposed by the court, which may
include a fine, the court shall impose as a condition of probation
that the person be confined in a county jail for not less than 48
hours nor more than six months. The court shall order the person's
privilege to operate a motor vehicle to be suspended for a period of
six months, as provided in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of
Section 13352 or restricted pursuant to subdivision (f).
(h) If a person is convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) and
the vehicle used in the violation is registered to that person, the
vehicle may be impounded at the registered owner's expense for not
less than one day nor more than 30 days.
(i) Any person who violates subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of this
section shall upon conviction thereof be punished by imprisonment in
a county jail for not more than 90 days or by a fine of not more than
five hundred dollars ($500) or by both that fine and imprisonment.
(j) If a person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is
restricted by a court pursuant to this section, the court shall
clearly mark the restriction and the dates of the restriction on that
person's driver's license and promptly notify the Department of
Motor Vehicles of the terms of the restriction in a manner prescribed
by the department. The Department of Motor Vehicles shall place
that restriction in the person's records in the Department of Motor
Vehicles and enter the restriction on any license subsequently issued
by the Department of Motor Vehicles to that person during the period
of the restriction.
(k) The court may order that any person convicted under this
section, who is to be punished by imprisonment in a county jail, be
imprisoned on days other than days of regular employment of the
person, as determined by the court.
(l) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Louis
Friend Memorial Act.

Cop came up and cited me for "Reckless Driving" and had my vehicle towed for 30 days..the owner of the restuarant did not call the police as they were the main reason I was less hesitant to do so. The managers would do it there all the time. I figured ok I guess one time wont hurt. BAM. cop came. I think they went too far with the citation. "23109.2 cvc reckless driving"

Reckless Driving for sure. It can be cited on private property and you don't need a complainant to call. The officer can on-view it and cite you. It's a misdemeanor.

I have my Arizona traffic law manual here in front of me and it should be basically the same for CA.

28-693: Reckless Driving
A. "A person who drives a behicle in reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving."
B. "A person convicted of reckless driving is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor."

Good luck with that.

Should have been cited for stupidity behind the wheel AND lost your car for 30 days.

I love when someone says, "nothing bad could have happened."

this same kinda thing came up in Washington at a goKart track I worked at. the Owner told us to tear it up after the shop closed on sat nights at 12 and we alway's did, well after a month or so the Tuckwilla PD showed up and started handing out citations and bringing in the tow trucks, the Owner was called and Juen showed up and told the OIC that we had permission and to let us all go. it ended up in Court and was dismissed with no charges and tuckwilla paying for out tow and impound fee's. So you might want to get ahold of the owner of the property and find out if he Gave you Permision or not and then go take it to court. dont get me wrong its reckless driving for sure and should be cited on public streets but a private parking lot with lots of safe space for a few cookies AND OWNERS PERMISSION is acceptable with owners permission of Course. if you didn't have permison Guilty as charged.

Whew man that sucks.

See if you can work the BK manager as permission but if it doesn't fly your SOL.

Crazy how 10 seconds of fun = $,$$$ of repercussions or worse.

Which is why I don't do it anymore.
