Dragging your knee is legal
Actually, I've been wondering about that. There's this other guy around, who looks just like me, on a bike just like mine. That guy sometimes rides a bit - "spirited" on some corners.Dragging your knee is legal
Law Enforcement would have a field day if it was. It's my understanding it's not and it wouldn't constitute reckless.Actually, I've been wondering about that.

I've been curious if it couldn't be considered as reckless driving, if the local constabulary wished to make a point.
In California, Reckless requires wanton or willful disregard for people or property (other than yourself and your vehicle). So if you're doing it on a fairly empty road where a worst-case crash isn't going to do anything more than kill you and wreck your bike, it's not reckless. Might be speeding, but generally not reckless. Do the same thing through a crowded parking lot on the day before Christmas and it probably is reckless.Law Enforcement would have a field day if it was.

Over 100mph is still just an infraction. Although you do lose your license for 30 days! But your right on the reckless part. The cop just has to articulate it.In California, Reckless requires wanton or willful disregard for people or property (other than yourself and your vehicle).

In practice, Reckless Driving is what they usually throw at you when the speed violation is extreme (more than 30mph over the limit, or over 100mph), or when you're doing a whole bunch of bad things all at once (running a stop sign and making an illegal turn while speeding through a residential neighborhood). The theory being that any one thing can be bad judgement or a mistake, but doing a whole bunch of them at once generally requires some level of "willful disregard."
Realistically, if you're going 100 on anything other than a completely empty road in the middle of nowhere, they will probably be able to come up with some other thing you were doing wrong that would combine with the extreme speed to make it reckless. They don't have to, but they usually can. Whether they choose to can depend on you.Over 100mph is still just an infraction. Although you do lose your license for 30 days!

That's a good cop right there.... See guys, were not all badWe actually had a cop watch us ride the twisties and told us he didn't want to ruin our fun. He just didn't want us turning around in the middle of a road on a double yellow.
