Re: [doc] Re: Delorean doors up up and away



The last thing I heard about this is that the doors aloft thing is a grey
area as far as the law is concerned.  It would be down to officer discretion
as she/he could sling anything at you for it... I personally have driven on
the motorway (smooth flat road) at speeds of around 50mph with no problems.
Wouldn't want to test the Police on doing it though...

Speed isn't a factor, it is the smoothness of the road surface that should
determine if you want to drive with your doors up!!!
