Accused of exhibition of Speed?\u00a0 Call 916-546-8052 for a free consultation to discuss your case.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Exhibition of Speed (Vehicle Code 23109(c)) is a wobbler under California law, meaning it can be charged as a misdemeanor or an infraction.\u00a0 It is a very serious traffic offense and can carry with it up to 90 days of jail time.<\/p>\n

Typically exhibition of speed is charged when a police officer observes;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A person causing their tires to break traction (\u201cburning out\u201d) in a vehicle,<\/li>\n
  2. A motorcyclist doing wheelies, or<\/li>\n
  3. Anything to show off the speed of their vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Often people are wrongfully accused of exhibition of speed because of some other reason.\u00a0 The officer may have the wrong vehicle, or the vehicle may have mechanical problems causing it to shift roughly, causing the tires to spin.\u00a0 Officers will often cite vehicles for exhibition of speed when they are simply speeding.<\/p>\n

    The penalties for exhibition of speed vary depending on the facts.\u00a0 If charged as a misdemeanor the possible penalties include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Three to five years summary (informal) probation,<\/li>\n
    2. Up to 90 days in the county jail,<\/li>\n
    3. Fines up to $500 before penalties and assessments,<\/li>\n
    4. Possible license suspension by the court, and<\/li>\n
    5. Two points on your driving record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Not all penalties need be imposed in every case.\u00a0We will be able to negotiate a plea deal, if appropriate for the facts of your case.\u00a0 If not appropriate, then we can then set the case for trial, preparing to fight the case in front of a jury.<\/p>\n
