Why is motorcycle stunting illegal?

Question

im writing a research paper

and i need as many facts

bout stunting and why it is illegal

please help

Answer 1

It is only illegal if done on public roadways and/or highways.  If someone wants to do stunts on a closed course, they are free to "knock themselves out" so to speak.  Such activities are illegal on public roads as they are (1) usually a violation of specific statutes, (2) a danger to bystanders, other cars, and public and private property.

Answer 2

It's not illegal. In fact there are a few "stunt-o-lympics" type events across the country.

What is illegal is stunting on public roadways because of the danger to other motorists and pedestrians. It's legal on private property with the property owners permission. It's also legal at the events I mentioned earlier.

Answer 3

in the middle of summer? well anyways it is because the same reason doing burnouts and donuts are illegal in cars its dangerous reckless driving.. but if cops see you stuntin in a vacant parking lot they typically dont care unless the store owner calls the police

Answer 4

The first reason is that it is very dangerous and could lead to devastating injury or death of the rider, pedestrians, or other motorists.

Answer 5

well its a distraction to other drivers and sometimes they dont come out right and you crash. (but i keep doing it anyway.)

Answer 6

It is stupid and dangerous on the public roads. It is not the squid doing the stunt that anyone worries about he has a little mind anyway it is John Q Public with his family that could be hurt or killed. The way I look at it if they want to go some where a stunt  away from the public  have at it,  Because every time a stunt squid drops a bike and can not get up that gene pool gets smaller.

Answer 7

Is this a trick question?

Answer 8

Its only illegal if you don't get caught!   No really, it is very dangerous and very distracting to other drivers.  It is legal to do stunt on close course and on private property with medical unit ready to take you in.

Answer 9

You're writing a research paper, but need somebody else to tell you why stunting is illegal?  For the same reasons that drag racing on public streets is illegal, or having a demolition derby at the intersection is illegal.  It's dangerous for anybody & everybody in the vicinity.
