^ yes indeed, but it can easily be changed to careless driving, that's why it sucks

u should be alright. if he wanted to nail u, he would have, no question about it...he coulda just been talking over the radio about something different or maybe letting the other cop ahead to keep an eye out.

I got tagged yesterday (w00t for warnings) and the officer kept having to respond to his radio while dealing with me. You're fine.

i remember family vacations to texas (family out there) and on a major highway a guy parked a semi trailer and put "Speed Trap Ahead" cause he got busted for speeding . the trailer is on his property and the story in that town is that it has been there for 5 years, he repaints it every year, and every town meeting the sherif tries to raise a petition to take it down, hasnt passed yet.

What exactly is exhibition of speed? Is it like spinning your tires or quick lane changes or something?
i do it a lot, lol. it's like speeding without speeding. it might be considered careless driving or wreckless (at worst). yeah, it's like spinning tires (i never spin the tires though), or gunning it without actually going over the speed limit. they just consider fast acceleration as exhibition of speed.
Most of the times cops won't give you a reckless driving ticket charge unless you're doing 20+ over the limit.

Exhibition of speed is usually something along the lines of; you're at a light, it turns green. You tag 6000 rpm and 'chirp your tires' or 'burnout' upon your taking off from the light.

You're fine. If he wanted to cite you, he would've come after you.

I got nailed once doing 86 in a 65. I was so irritated, but when he saw my government ID we chit chatted about it then he just gave me a ticket for failure to obey traffic control device, which doesn't even carry points
