i plan to remove the bottle from my car while im street driving...ill just throw the bottle in it when im at the track
new law around here is going to make having nitrous in the car a first degree misdemeanor 6pt violation, and equal to a DUI (3 days jail, 6month to 1year license suspension)

Any exhibition of speed or acceleration that is
inconsistent with the normal operation of a vehicle on a public
road, street, or highway.
anyone at the scene of the race, anyone discussing the race online, and anyone who encouraged the race is any way are also going to be charged with the same violation
nitrous sales all need to be recorded and tracked for 2 years
also changes it to include single vehicle violations
so if you leave a light too hard, you can be charged with street racing, even if youre the only car on the road
and the best part....conviction the first time is a misdemeanor, all after that become felonies....and loss of your vehicle is MANDATORY on first offense and every offense after, the judge cant even save you on that one

kinda....theyre playing it off of an incident that happened 2 years ago though
2 guys were racing, one was DRUNK as ****....drunk guy lost control went left of center and hit a girl...she has brain damage now, and her family is pushing this bill through our judicial system....the drunk guy who hit her died on impact, and the other kid was charged with vehicular homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and something else....he was cleared though so didnt get pinned with any of it
nobody seems to care that the guy was drunk, they just blame street racing

it passed the house and is at ohio senate for debate now...its an anti street racing bill...also expands defininition of street racing to include

used to be a gto....he had nitrous in his car, which i guess overrides the alcohol in his system
Summary: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/a...0191-i-128.htm
The entire thing: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/B...B_191_I_Y.html
Cliffs:
- using nitrous on the street will be the same as a DUI
- if you accelerate quickly, squeal tires, corner hard, brake hard, etc, they can detain/arrest you. if you're found guilty, courts are REQUIRED to seize your car/bike. you don't get it back.
- anyone encouraging/helping/participating gets the same penalties. ie: the threads on here about stupid cagers and squids racing bikes = jail time for those who laugh or say anything positive about the race.
- you can be the only car/bike on the road and still be found guilty of street racing.
- riding/driving any way other than what the court deems "normal" is considered street racing
