How did i get a ticket for this? Can someone please tell me............?

Question

Im at the gas station filling up a 5 gallon container for random stuff i have to do around the house. Im already in a bad mood because i just spilled gas all over the sleeve of my brand new shirt. I get in the truck start off down the road, light up a cigarette and my arm catches on fire. As im waving my arm out the window trying to put out the fire, i get pulled over and ticketed. Can anyone tell me why?

Answer 1

Yes, it's illegal to wave a flaming arm out the window. All flaming arms must remain inside the vehicle at all times.
It's also illegal to douse yourself in gasoline and catch yourself on fire, it's called suicide.
In your defense, self-flagellation via fire can be construed as an act of protest - were you trying to make a statement? I mean, besides the obvious.

Answer 2

1. Was the container UL Cert. *the red one being approved to hold gas*
2. Tha gas in not properly secured in the vechile *Not tied down* Because if in crash gas wont spill and cause a fire.
3. Well you were on fire and you swirled on the road and could cause a wreck.
4. Improper use of gas spilling it * mostly spilling it on yourself.
5. SMOKING AROUND GAS!!!!! Also it's on your arm and you LITE UP???

Answer 3

The first thing I would look at would be the ticket to see exactly what charges were listed for the fine. I would assume reckless driving since as you were putting out the fire on your arm, you most likely did not have completely accurate control of the vehicle.
