Is Launch Control at Traffic Lights Punishable by Points Deduction?
1 Answers
Launch control at traffic lights is considered a traffic violation and will result in a fine and a 3-point penalty. Here are the relevant details: Launch Control: As a racing technique, launch control is recommended to be attempted on closed roads or tracks. Using launch control on public roads with traffic is considered dangerous (because the vehicle's kinetic energy is very high at the initial stage of launch, making it impossible to brake within a short distance in case of sudden situations). Principle: Launch control involves using the transmission to adjust the engine speed to the maximum torque output platform, allowing the engine to start with maximum torque output at the moment of launch, achieving optimal acceleration. Another technique derived from this is the burnout start, where excessive throttle is applied to make the rear wheels spin and produce a large amount of smoke.
