Careless Driving Ticket, Dirfting.
Hello guys !
Looking for some input on my problem.. I made a very stupid mistake last week.. P.S Im from Edmonton But im hoping you guys can give some input!
So I went to my friends house to visit, Ive recently boughten a new car so I wanted to show him.
He lives in a residential area in St Albert, We went for a ride and went down a road and turned around and went to leave the four way intersection to go back to his house.
I decided to show him a burnout/Dirft in the car. I looked around everywhere before I did it, There were no one walking , Around the road or in cars around the intersection/Road.
When I pulled out of the intersection I drifted my car through the 4 way stop turning left to go back to his house. I did not loose control of the vechile in no matter at all.
I finished the dirft in my lane going under/Near the speed limt because it was a very short dirft.
So I drive up the road and with my luck there was a cop 600-1000 metres down the road. So He seen me do the dirft through the intersection.
I continued to drive down the road knowing he was going to pull me over, He did not turn his lights on right away he gently turned around then pulled me over.
He came to my window and said Bad timing huh, And all I did was apoligize for the stupid mistake I did. I explained how stupid I was to do it in the area.
He then went back to his car and came back 10-15 minutes later with a careless driving ticket.
My question is, Isnt drifting a car in a manner where the car looses traction on the tires considered Stunting ?
Also considering I of course had full attention and care of what I was doing, which is wrong But I was not careless, I did not cause a accident, Hurt or kill anyone.
============
2. Driving a motor vehicle in a manner that indicates an intention to cause some or all of Its tires to lose traction with the surface of the highway while turning.

I am not sure if I should fight this ticket and tell them I was stunting And not being careless,
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys.
