(a) No person shall:
(1) Operate any motor vehicle, except when necessary for safe operation, or in compliance with law, in such a manner that the vehicle or its motor emits a loud, cracking, chattering or other unreasonably loud noise or the tires of such vehicle squeal or leave tire marks on the roadway or throw gravel and debris, commonly called “peeling”.
(2) Operate any motor vehicle so as to race or accelerate the motor, while the vehicle is not in gear or in motion, in such a manner as to produce unnecessary or unreasonably loud noise; or
(3) Operate any motor vehicle so as to race or excessively accelerate the motor, while such vehicle is in motion, in such a manner as to produce unnecessary or unreasonably loud noise.
(b) The creation of noise by the squealing of tires or by a cracking or chattering from an exhaust system, or the creation of tire marks on a roadway accompanying such squealing of tires, shall be considered prima facie evidence of an intent on the part of the operator to violate this section.
