Epic gayness, seeing as the Mill Park crash was caused by a driver who had a BAC of .19.

What has hooning got to do with it?

[josh_ef]

so the law has acutally been passed?

im already on 3

first offence they took it on the spot, i got it back 48 hrs later got a summons to court and charged with "failure to control a motor vehicle, improper use of a motor vehicle"
got a fine no big deal

second offence they took it on spot for 48 hrs again, again got my summons this time charge was "driving whilst suspended" they wanted to take the car for a futher 2 months wich lawyer fough thtat i needed my car for work and i will loose my job with out it so i just got heavilly fined over 3 grand all up.

third offence was drag racing, wasnt even speeding that heavilly, 18 kms over but copper said it was dangerous all the usual crap took the car for 48 hrs as standard. i was certain when i got my summons to go to court they would try and take the car for good so i decided to sell it to my mate so i could buy it back later or use it in his name

but turns out thats an offence to sell a car that is awaiting an impound order/charge vic roads even put a block on it if you try to transfer it, so i sold it unregisterd cancelled the rego went to court the copper was pissed off i sold it and wanted to impound my partners car wich is bull shit. they charged me with speeding, and "selling a car under the hoon impound act" or something like that and it was only like $2500 in fines, wich i think is better then loosing my car

not sure how third offence will work now, like if they will take it and hold it till court date or if they just take it for 48 hrs, let you have it back then summons you to court and then charge you collect the car to crush most people will strip motors and goodies off their cars anyway you would think? defeats the purpose of crushing rolling shells?

my 2 cents

[Sunboost]

In the article it says if the car is registered in the hoon driver's name they will crush it, so there may be a loop hole.

Either way, your record is fkd and you should probably try not to fuk up again. You will cop jail.

[Phillis]

i agree with the 3rd strike and its crushed, but i think the 'hoon law's are too tight. spinning wheels in the wet on the white lines and gettimg up to the speed limit as quickly as possible isnt hooning.

[josh_ef]

yeah i just read teh full article. yeah i have been good all last year, grown up alot. cant fight the system. also said they might not crush the car if its not registered.

i think its stupid how there going to sell parts off cars put them back into circulation

they will sell the expensive performance stuff to make their coin, all about revenue raising.

[Phillis]

The harsh penalty could only happen if a hoon driver owns the car and has two previous offences for crimes such as exceeding the speed limit by 45km/h, drag racing, doing burnouts or dangerous driving

wicked.

[bng]

Is it third offence in the same car?? So if you get 2 offences, you take the parts off,sell the car buy a new one, and away you go on zero?
Stupid fucking laws, even if I am in nsw. It's a joke how everything done now in a car is called hooning. Let's drive and drive...hooning

[josh_ef]

pretty sure its any car

like if u get done in 3 different cars the third wold be taken.

[burnt turtle]

about time it all got serious if you ask me.

[LTDHO]

Meh, buy cheap EB/VN. Get crushed.
Buy another EB/VN. Get crushed.
and so on.

[t1MMy]

They're going to need to build more car crushing sites to keep up.

It will only effect the people tho own their cars. All the "hoons" in the FPV and XR's with massive loans will escape getting their cars crushed.

[Troutman]

Nice in principle, but quite wasteful. They should just employ Sundeep full time to part out the cars, then crush the shells. At least some of the cost to the community caused by extreme 'hoons' could be partially recovered.

MEGALO MEGALO MEGALO!!!

What has hooning got to do with it?

The government is just trying to buy votes, election soon remember? Gotta be seen to be doing something, the millions of dollars wasted on extra wage/s so they can process hooned cars (ie. Police standing around waiting for tow truck, lift home, prepare extended breif, etc) could be spent on subsidising driver training etc.

Bit like the super water tanker the brought in to combat fires, 10mil right there, in 3 months for something that won't even work in Victoria's countrysides.

But at the end of the day they need to get into power/stay in power and the way to do it is by giving people superficial things to think about and what the "majority" of people want to hear, gov doesn't give a **** about the 18-25yr olds, they are not the primary population of voters its the 25yr old plus who have "grown up" some more and have the real impact on who gets into power.

Its all an illusion to win votes and make more money.

Throw the muzzas in jail for a month or too, that will soon sort out hooning for them when they are someone elses bitch.

Oh and I don't have any stats infront of me, but statsically iirc more people die on our roads from drink driving and generally shit driving (falling asleep, mobile phone use, stupid truck drivers, etc)

[Nikk O'lass]

Hoon laws cover defects aswell....

[ruleford]

i got threaten lastnite that i would have me car crashed by the AFP because i was watching a mate do a burn out at the back of the tullamarine airport and he fucked off cos he saw them coming and i was left there to cope a massive leckshore about i shouldnt be doing this shit and cos i had a car load of chicks he's like instead iof impressing them with burnouts take them a to a restaurant and impress them that way

[gunxr8]

they need to start crushing repeat drink drivers cars not hoons cars.the guy that killed those people was drunk not hooning.

[vegabass]

Does the car include the dick head driver when its crushed?

[gunxr8]

as always the minority make life difficult for the majority that do the right thing.

[Frost]

Technically he was hooning as he was doing 140 in a 80? zone. That is a Hoon offense.

[UNEZED]

crushing cars isnt gonna stop shit
most people will prob just get some wreaker specil peice of shit, weld up the diff
and if it gets crushed then go get another one

[farkookneebah]

R U SERIOUS THE TOSSER WAS DOING 145KPH THATS HOONING HE WAS PISSED WHICH MAKES IT EVEN WORSE BUT THE FACT HE BROKE EVERY LAW HE COULD MAKES ME THINK HE HAD INTENT HIS PERENTS SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSABLE FOR THE LIVES HE TOOK STUPID BASTARD I HOPE HE ROTS IN HELL

[Sloxr6]

So how does it work if your mate has your car and he gets done for hooning they couldn't crush someone elses car that shit just wouldn't be right.

[t1MMy]

They don't care. It will ge crushed and you will be minus a friend.

That is crap how would you know how many times he has been done. I really cant see how it would be legal to crush an innocent party's car which really had nothing to do with it.

I thought I already said that?
But if you're driving a car that is OWNED by your friend, from what I understood it can still be crushed, weather it's your car or not. It just can't have any encumberance on it.

[SnyperEB]

If you get 3 times you should get your car crushed!!

[SnyperEB]

Unless its under finance that is!!

[gunxr8]

if the car you are driving is regoed in someone elses name it cant be crushed.doesnt mean they wont crush your car if you have one.

[Frost]

Unless its under finance that is!!

Wouldn't that teach them the ultimate lesson thou? Get done 3 times, loose ur car, get it in a cube, and still pay it off? You wouldn't do it again would you because at the end of your loan you have some useless metal to show for it.

[bng]

Just don't get a loan. Work hard and save

my mate was driving his mates vl and it got defected. He ended up with the fines cause he was driving... Fucked

there will always be loopholes to get thru if you can spend abit of cash on a lawyer

[misk]

i thought they said in an article that some cars would be crushed if they were under finance?
so they would be paying for a cube...

i think the 'hoon' laws are a joke. they like to throw figures around...
we now have a much larger population with more cars, busier roads etc etc but arent death rates lower than they used to be anyway?
accidents will happen regardless. hoon laws like this will just mean more and more people running from the cops rather than pulling over to cop a few points and a fine.

[UNEZED]

I just find it stupid that anything done on the roads now flares up as hooning
like speeding its not always hooning, loosing control of veichle can just be slippery road
my car started sliding around a roundabout and i was just rolling through slowly while on the brakes

[burnt turtle]

dont break the law. its pretty fucking simple
if you do then face the consequences.

[Sunboost]

Dear Law Abiding Citizen..

This



Is breaking the law.

You can cop a $292 fine for it .

Practice what you preach.

Post opinion and credibility fail.

[t1MMy]

Haha, got you there Josh

[misk]

lol indeed.
i think that what some people are getting at is 'breaking the law' is becoming more and more an opinion of the officer at the time rather than clear cut.

[burnt turtle]

and i will cop a fine dick, im well aware of what im doing.
