    Default Hoons.

    Is the only way to get through to hoons to crush their cars?

    Burnouts, racing, top speed runs. It needs to stop on public roads. There are events and venues where people can push their cars in a controlled environment. Why can't they get the message????

    I think a good way to get these pricks to sit up and take note is to crush the car they love so much and make them watch!

    Wont work. Majority of hoons drive cars that they wouldnt give a flying **** about loosing and the ones who do will just do runners and put more lives in danger.

    Also, if you were to do this, there would need to be a lot of changes and clarification in the hoon laws. Right now its down to police descretion. Get a copper on a bad day and you might do something like let the clutch slip at the lights and your car gets destroyed. Somewhat unfair.

    Why destroy the car? Confiscate it, sell it on maybe?

    maybe death penalty for hoons would be too light

    they need their balls cut off and crushed with the car imo. just to take em down a couple of notches.

    ^^ Maybe you need to realise that under the current 'Hoon' laws you would be labled a hoon by almost every
    Victorian toggy (especially in Bendigo) as you drive a commodore. Feel like getting yours crushed?

    I understand that 'hoons' doing 2040kp/h in reverse (minux), or dropping one-peggers out of macca's carparks, and drag-racing from every set of lights need a good-talking to, But what if they're driving mums car? Or your car (stolen), should it still be crushed? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

    Either EVERY car that a hoon drives gets crushed, or none do. Would you have your car crushed to teach a 'hoon' a leason?

    Don't bitch about hoon-laws, when you yourself are a member of a 'hoon' forum,
    and drive a 'hoon' car. (note: this is merely the view from the public-eye, not my own)

    Btw; not all people caught under the 'hoon' laws are in fact hoons.
    We've seen all types get pulled over and have thier cars towed away by the Toggy's here in the
    'hoon-capital' ( a title no-true resident of Bendigo is proud to wear)

    I think it is too extreme, it would contribute to financial crisis. What if a "hoon" slips and gets his car crushed for a minor thing? What if that hoon had a family and the car on finance he or her was barely paying off? What if their job was unreachable by public transport? What if they had a small child to take care of? I quite frankly do not see a family in that situation being able to maintain a minimum standard of life.
    Being a hoon is idiotic and yes i do agree something should be done to prevent burnouts in suburban streets and EXCESSIVE speeding, but crushing every car from every person that is considered a hoon is not a very smart idea. I personally wouldn't watch my car being crushed, I would put up a physical fight, so that is another aspect to consider. That alone will create more complications/charges/ and costs to the system and families. I'm not a hoon, but i do not support this move.

    This. Every one's view of a hoon is different. I was called a hoon in my Lancer simply because it had a loud exhaust.
