Got given a hoon warning.... for a petrol station attendant!!!

[anonymousmoose]

Ok, let me first say. I am no hoon. I'm the fricking guy who sees a speed sign and sets the cruze control to it. I drive my V8 like a grandma.

Let me set the scene. Its 9:30ish pm. I drive about 50km/h and pull into a petrol station breaking as I get to the AIR station. I see the attendt, who is cleaning outside or something, look at the car. Then I go and fill up some fuel and walk in to pay. They guy tells me I was driving too fast into the petrol station driveway and I've had my plates noted in their log. If I do it again I'm gonna be reported to the cops as a hoon. He told me if I didnt acutally go in for petrol he would have reported me there and then. I just said, 'thanks for letting me know' and left it. Then he kept going on about how they can take my car away and its a 15km/h zone.

What the heck is going on. These hoon laws are going way to far. I've never even spun the tyres on my car and not had a single fine in probably 5 years. I pull into an empty petrol station lot, delecreating from 50km/h and this happends.

In all honestly, can they, if he wanted to, call the cops and I'd be charged?

i dont think cops would take the matter seriously, i think they'd just humor the attendant and that would be the end of it, correct me if im wrong tho.

Should be speed signs up at each entry.
Sounds like he is on a power trip wanker.

I think it was supposed to be a quote

Yes it was sorry

[fuzzy2308]

just tell them to GET ****ED its your world against his ,from past experiance cops have better things to do than than worry about the "he said she said" when it comes to 1 vs 1 and no proof they will just drop it and eat donuts.

[CommVTS]

i thought you had to be reported as a hoon like 6 or more times by different people before the police can actually charge you. Might be wrong though.

[Frank2112]

Maybe you need to talk to his boss about his attitude. He's more likely to lose his job for being an A$$ than you are for being a supposed hoon.

[Jesterarts]

Yeah, next time, a clear "F*** Off!" and walk out.

If there isn't a visible speed sign, then there isn't an enforcable speed limit.

Plus for speeding to be a hooning offence I think you have to be traveling at 45kmph OVER the limit. So, you would need to be going 60kmph through the servo for it to be a hooning offence.

Anyway, sound just like some idiot and if you want to be nasty ring and ask to talk to a manager, then say how the attendant taunted you that you where going to lose your car, you're upset, blah blah blah.

Though only do this if you didn't employ my first piece of advice. lol

[HoZy]

Thank **** my local petrol station loves me, I can't help it my stato scraped & chirps all through the station lmfao

[vsl67]

If it was me his boss or franchise head would be getting a call about his attitude and I would let him know he better have evidence

but couple of your mates could always report him for speeding in & out of the servo at knock off time

Laws obviously vary from state to state, but up here in NSW you can get a reckless driving charge at any speed, regardless of what the speed limit is.

The law simply defines it as "driving a motor vehicle furiously, recklessly or at a speed or in a manner dangerous to the public, on a road or road related area."

More at:
ROAD TRANSPORT (SAFETY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT) ACT 1999 - SECT 42 Negligent, furious or reckless driving

It's all about police discretion at that point, if you were in their opinion driving recklessly. If there was video evidence (as you'd expect at a service station) I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a successful prosecution, though it's probably not that high on the police list of priorities.

Sounds like someone failed the police application. but passed the servo attendant one

[Holdens Rule]

Ask to see the video of everything that just happened then ask for his bosses number and report it to his boss, that's about all you can do other then telling him to f..k off and not going back to that servo

Payback is a bitch - but next time the wanker is on duty report him to the manager as a rude prick.....

Or make a scene that he ripped you off $20.00 change...

[Garth]

should have taken a dump on the entry to the store, give him something to complain about.


sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, either that, or a sad realisation that his 4 yr degree at uni in the arts has gotten him no-where, his girlfriend is actualy a lesbian, and his dog likes to watch some mothers do have em

[excalibur]

hw must of got bitch slapped from his boyfriend earlier

[davway]

go talk to his boss and tell him the attendant tried to touch your pee-pee.

[88GreenVN]

no no no wait - this is it.. report his car for hoon driving...

[hakhawk]

wait for it.....

hes just jealous of your car

[Jesterarts]

no no no wait - this is it.. report his car for hoom driving...

Yeah! And then he's get his car taken away under the Hooming laws.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Though I think hak has it in one. Probably jealous of your car, take it as a compliment.

Not sure which "dump" you're talking about lol

[gareth89]

so giving that there are no signs at petrol stations, you could do 50 kays unless signed etc. shopping centres.also the law is 50km/h unless signs are posted, many poeple get caught with this lol
i hae heard that some long roads are 60 at one end and 50 at the other lol
but yeah they wouldnt give a f##k unless they are bored or dont like you, along that line!!
