Division 2. MISCELLANEOUS DRIVING RULES |
§ 26-352. "Dig out" or "tire squeal" prohibited.
It shall be unlawful for the driver of any motor vehicle within the city to "dig out" or produce "tire squeal." For the purposes of this section, the term "dig out" means tire squeal. The term "tire squeal" means the sound produced by the friction of a motor vehicle tire against a dry pavement under sudden acceleration of the vehicle to which such tire is mounted, such tire then turning at a rate of revolution disproportionately greater than the length of distance then traveled on said pavement by said tire. Prima facie evidence of such disproportional revolution shall include skid marks or tire marks left by such tire upon the pavement or smoke produced by such revolution.
