Not just a fancy way of saying someone was speeding, this usually points to show-off driving - hard acceleration, tire squealing, rapid starts, or other driving meant to display speed or power rather than simply getting down the road too fast.

What it actually means is conduct that turns a vehicle's speed into a public display. Police may treat it as more serious than an ordinary speeding ticket because the problem is not only the number on the speedometer, but the way the driver used the vehicle. Depending on the facts, it can overlap with reckless driving, racing, or negligence. On a ticket, that distinction matters because the accusation suggests risky behavior that can make a driver look careless before an insurer, a judge, or a jury.

For an injury claim, that can cut both ways. If the other driver was accused of exhibition of speed, it may help show unsafe conduct and support fault. If the injured person got that ticket, the insurance company may argue they helped cause the crash. Either way, get the crash report, ticket details, witness names, and any video fast. In Wyoming, a personal injury claim generally must be filed within 4 years of the accident under Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C). Missing that deadline can end the case, even if the driving was obviously dangerous.
