Florida's Law! Look at the law in red at the bottom, if florida wanted the reckless driving law to include a parking lot it waould have said specificially like in the racing statute....Or the DUI statute which states "anywhere in the state" = pretty clear!!!!!
So private is private the only exclusion is crashes!!!!!

316.192 Reckless driving.--

(1)(a) Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.

(b) Fleeing a law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle is reckless driving per se.

(2) Except as provided in subsection (3), any person convicted of reckless driving shall be punished:

(a) Upon a first conviction, by imprisonment for a period of not more than 90 days or by fine of not less than $25 nor more than $500, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

(b) On a second or subsequent conviction, by imprisonment for not more than 6 months or by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $1,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

(3) Any person:

(a) Who is in violation of subsection (1);

(b) Who operates a vehicle; and

(c) Who, by reason of such operation, causes:

1. Damage to the property or person of another commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

2. Serious bodily injury to another commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. The term "serious bodily injury" means an injury to another person, which consists of a physical condition that creates a substantial risk of death, serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, $5 shall be added to a fine imposed pursuant to this section. The clerk shall remit the $5 to the Department of Revenue for deposit in the Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund.

(5) In addition to any other penalty provided under this section, if the court has reasonable cause to believe that the use of alcohol, chemical substances set forth in s. 877.111, or substances controlled under chapter 893 contributed to a violation of this section, the court shall direct the person so convicted to complete a DUI program substance abuse education course and evaluation as provided in s. 316.193(5) within a reasonable period of time specified by the court. If the DUI program conducting such course and evaluation refers the person to an authorized substance abuse treatment provider for substance abuse evaluation and treatment, the directive of the court requiring completion of such course, evaluation, and treatment shall be enforced as provided in s. 322.245. The referral to treatment resulting from the DUI program evaluation may not be waived without a supporting independent psychosocial evaluation conducted by an authorized substance abuse treatment provider, appointed by the court, which shall have access to the DUI program psychosocial evaluation before the independent psychosocial evaluation is conducted. The court shall review the results and recommendations of both evaluations before determining the request for waiver. The offender shall bear the full cost of this procedure. If a person directed to a DUI program substance abuse education course and evaluation or referred to treatment under this subsection fails to report for or complete such course, evaluation, or treatment, the DUI program shall notify the court and the department of the failure. Upon receipt of such notice, the department shall cancel the person's driving privilege, notwithstanding the terms of the court order or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege. The department may reinstate the driving privilege upon verification from the DUI program that the education, evaluation, and treatment are completed. The department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege on a restricted basis upon verification that the offender is currently participating in treatment and has completed the DUI education course and evaluation requirement. If the DUI program notifies the department of the second failure to complete treatment, the department shall reinstate the driving privilege only after notice of successful completion of treatment from the DUI program.

316.191 Racing on highways.-- (1) As used in this section, the term:

(a) "Conviction" means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or trial, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld.

(c) "Racing" means the use of one or more motor vehicles in an attempt to outgain or outdistance another motor vehicle, to prevent another motor vehicle from passing, to arrive at a given destination ahead of another motor vehicle or motor vehicles, or to test the physical stamina or endurance of drivers over long-distance driving routes.

Are spots straight we got permission to ride or whatever burnouts are cool!! cops come watch its great if ya ask me!!

__sam__

it means that if anyone can just turn off a public street up into an open driveway to a parking lot, then it is accessible to the public. just like at a strip mall when one one the stores has a sign that says "parking for whatever store only", bull ****, not a private lot, and more than one store, you can park in that bitch.

y2kmk

we'll rock a spot that the cops stop by and say what's up at.

:YEAH

they have kicked us outta few spots, but we just keep goin back.

I've heard of people blocking entrances with trucks/trailers, in essence blocking public entrance and making it a private lot.

FrankieG

The access to the public theory is ONLY for public shopping plaza's where vehicular and pedestrian traffic is present! 99% of police take that statement and impose their own interpretation but the reality of it is NO!!! Private lots are private lots....Unless you are practicing in front of SEARS during shopping hours their theory is total BS! They will try to make you believe and mabee even over step their authority by writing tickets but.....in court it should be overturned and once it is.....you bring the case ajudication to the PD and CASE law takes PRESEDENT! just my 2 cts!!!!

got_ink123

you could just move into a neighborhood where the neighbors are pretty chill... and then when u get a **** head neighbor that calls the cops (you can usually tell by them standing in the front yard with their arms crossed watching... or looking like a total fool chasing you on foot at 30mph like he's actually going to catch you) and you wait a few days and burn his mailbox down... thats what we do. Most of my neighbors don't mind it as long as it ain't high speed highchairs or nuthin' (the worst neighbors are those non-paid fire fighters that think they have all of the authority in the world [usually the ones who are over 24])
