Ticket in public parking lot?

Question

i got a ticket for reckless driving (doing doughnuts)in a public parking lot is that legal

Answer 1

Doing donuts is not legal,  it is considered reckless driving.    

At least you were in a parking lot, not on the street,  but you still could possibly endanger someone if you didn't see them.  

Looks like you got one to pay,  the cost of playing silly games in a vehicle.

Answer 2

more than likely what the police officer did was within the law or he wouldn't have wrote you the ticket.

Answer 3

No its not legal to do donuts...

Answer 4

It is not legal and yes you will always get a ticket even on a public parking lot.

Answer 5

police job to protect the citizens. Driving like that in a public lot endangers citizens. Technically, he can't give you a ticket on private property, but the judge probably won't side with you.

Answer 6

Depends on where you live.  In Arkansas they would only be able to get you for disturbing the peace or something similar as a parking lot isn't under traffic law jurisdiction.  Go talk to a local lawyer (normally they'll charge a 25 dollar consultation fee) one that deals with traffic law like DWI's.  Thats the best source for your answer!
