YOU CAN BE CHARGED (ARRESTED) FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING, EVEN IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, WITH NOBODY AROUND, EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN YOUR CAR.
Endangering your own life falls under “endangering the public”, and it WILL hold up in court with the right judge, and depending on your record.
Like everyone’s been saying, it’s up to the officer’s discretion. If he’s a car guy and you’re just having a bit of fun in the snow with your mom’s Subaru, you’ll probably be fine. If he’s an asshole and you’re there with 3-4 other JDM-TYTE cars making a homemade Ken Block video, you might be in for some trouble.
It’s all how they perceive the situation. Who you are, what you look like, what car you’re driving, how you act, what mood they’re in, etc.
Police will harass you for your 240 being too loud, as a 40 year old driving a Corvette with straight pipes passes by.
