Burnout, Black Lines Matter?

I can see for 1/2 mile on a straight road. Out of control may be exaggerating a bit. I don't think our front or rear wheels entered the opposite lane. Just drifted a bit
I have been told by a cop...and I qoute "son, when you are going sideways, you are not in controll of your vehicle, and I was behind you...you were S I D E W A Y S"

It's kinda like popping a wheelie on a bike
Yes, it takes knowing your vehicle to do it, and it takes a little bit of skill to keep it going BUT in the eyes of the law, you are not in controll
And if something happens, they will use that to hang you
