I bet a drag strip would prevent this...

What wankers, no wonder governments are coming down on car drivers so hard. No doubt we will hear the same arguments about how, its the governments fault, or its someone elses fault etc.

Funny, coppers never seem to come down hard on me when I don't break the law?

It's probably because I drive a V8, and before that a modified V6 with P-plates, I clearly don't fit the "hoon" profile so they'd have no reason to hassle me

people are just making it worse

welcome to the real world, actions of a few ruin it for all the people out there who do legal mods to their cars.

no point arguing it, you break the law and expect to get caught, im sure t his has been discused many a time on this forum. im sure a drag strip wouldnt fix the problem,

I say the people are the same, but easier access faster cars are letting them do stupider things than was possible in the past.

People make it sound like stupidity was only invented in the last 10 years?

Funnily enough, they had to drive PAST the old disused track to get there

thats true i mean my dads mate told me about the windscreen washer thing to put oil on your tyres

[Cobez]

God i am sick of hearing about hoons and hoon articles, the articles tell us nothing new. Soon enough, reporters would have exhausted all angles to attack the subject from and will start claiming that hoons can now buy special rocketship packs as a cheap bolt on mod and are now hooning up in the air and dragging Boeing 747's, and the bird death rate will soar and the government will be forced to bring in new air laws.

[SAV_117]

lol ur not a happy chappy cobez

[Cobez]

How do you figure? Because i am sick of hoon articles that makes me an unhappy person? Lol It's the same acticles and the same debate over and over again.

[SAV_117]

yep haha lol these articles are really just annoying now

[Jecs]

im sick of how they arent decent skids.

[Cobez]

True, if they are going to be idiots on public roads, at least be idiots to the full extent.

[VPplayer]

Lol, you got to laught at the heading, ' The secret underworld of hoon racing in Adelaide '.
Has anyone else noticed that 90% of hoons drive commodores

[one_and_only2004]

HOONS compiling online databases of car parts that can be borrowed to get defect notices overturned.

A CAR with rear brakes disabled to allow it to spin better during burn-outs when the front brakes are locked.

Line lockers are illegal then? Strange, my mechanic showed me the rules that say as long as it doesn't affect normal braking conditions, then you're sweet.

I for one welcome these articles - they bring things up that i've never even thought of doing - strangely they might just be feeding the hoons with better tips and tricks to really get into it...

I'm interested in these online catalogues though - i have heaps of stockish bits i'd love to sell off...

Alphonse Gangitano in a VN V6 with a single 2.5" exhaust and shift kit slammed on it arse

bahaha

I agree with coby.

Its the same old hoon story, every 2nd day of the week.
Same vn v6 doing laps up n down the prinny highway, thinkn he/she can beat every car on the road.

Question (vic people): Since this new P plate law thingy, do u think that hooning has become worse?

[gareth89]

i think theres going to be many new changes to try to stop hoons but it will never stop!!!!!!!!!!

[ClairBear]

have a look at this .then wonder why copperas come down hard on commodore drivers.

The article is about ACC, the All Car Club, whose membership base is not just Commodores as well as RCK.

I think you will find the Police are coming down hard on hoons in general.

[STEALTHY™]

Lets be honest tho, that article is about as factual as the bible.......


I for one hope they do bring in new laws. The sooner they do, the sooner more innocent people will be killed from the resulting high speed chases. Not that they'll get the message then, but it will just get worse and worse and spiral out of control

So, aside from building a track, which would obviously solve 80% of the problem, what would you have the police/government do to tackle this problem?

Absolutely nothing, i WANT tougher laws brought in, so innocent people get killed, and 'hooning' becomes as big a problem as drink driving!

No need to be flippant. You're clearly critical of the current approach to the issue, but if you don't have a better idea what are you complaining about?
