it was in my dads suburban. The van would def tip over doin it. And they cant take away a parking permit that i dont have. Only 200 spots for a 3000 person school.

The kids in the automotive class were doing that shit one day during school and crashed into a bunch of cars....

After that they got really strict about who could park in their lot.

They even gave me a bunch of shit for ridding my Harley to school, because my brother would ride his in with me and we would park in my regular car space. No way am I riding double with another guy on the back, especially when my brother has his own bike. Since my brother was a sophomore and sophomore's couldn't have parking spaces they made a big deal about it. Well, they changed their story from he can't ride his motorcycle because he doesn't have a pass to you can't park the bike in a car spot, which is what you do when you go to a normal store. However, I talked then into being ok with it after I read them the loop hole in their parking rules. The next year, you had to buy a motorcycle parking pass, and if you got one of those you couldn't have a car pass. Pretty dumb in Ohio if you ask me. Plus, I could see it being an issue if they took away a car spot for the motorcycle spots but all they did was paint some yellow lines near the bike rack. Schools are dumb, and people wonder why kids aren't learning anything....

We also used to drive out on this sidewalk instead of waiting in line like everyone else. They weren't happy about that either lol....

a rent a cop tried to tell me he was going to have my truck impounded and get the cops to give me a reckless ticket for having fun in the snow in a school parking lot.

I just promptly drove away and put my truck in the garage.

nothing is illegal, unless you get caught.

Of course its illegal. It falls under Wreckless driving. Possibly even wreckless endangerment. Not sure of the exact qualifications for wreckless endangerment but Im sure an ******* cop would still try anways.

Me my bro and my friend went to our school and were doing some nasty drifting and donuts in the snow when a cop pulled up and gave us a warning. Is it illegal to do this?

Yes it is actually on any property at all , it ****'s or they call it reckless driving. drifting when the snow first drop's is real fun though me and my friend's did that not to long ago.

Nowhere in the Texas Traffic and Transportation Code does the State of Texas make it a punishable offense to do donuts in a private parking lot. Trespassing, yes, but being a parking lot connected to a city street its not really trespassing. A cop can only tell you to stop. If the same cop catches you doing it in another parking lot two blocks away all he can do is tell you to stop. Its a civil matter really, the owner of the property would have to get involved and have you barred from the premises first before anything criminal would take place.

So illegal no, fun yes. My old Z71 was the best at it.
