[minux]

Story from News.com.au

TRAFFIC police have apprehended the state's oldest alleged hoon, after a 70-year-old Lake Clifton man had his car impounded yesterday.
The man was stopped by traffic enforcement group officers on the notorious Old Coast Road at Lake Clifton at 1.15pm.

Police will allege that he was driving his Holden Rodeo at 98km/h - 58km/h above the designated 40km/h speed zone near Coronation Rd.

The man's vehicle was seized by police and will be impounded for seven days.

He will be charged with reckless driving and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

When was it decided that excessive speeding is a hoon offence?

Anyway I lol'd walking frame hoons

Anyway great to see they will try to charge with reckless driving, all over 30 speeding fines should carry a reckless driving penalty. (no commsirac, not every speeding offence should carry it)

i thought reckless driving at that extreme would bring a jail sentence, atleast he will be off the roads for a while, hopefully forever. Wonder how good his reaction time would be and being a 40kph zone at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, there is a good chance of kids ect being around.

No kids around there, but a lot of road workers and trucks. The police are always around there, been atleast 2 serious crashes there because people were speeding through road works.

What the hell was he thinking hooning at his age, and what the hell was he thinking doing it in a Rodeo?

Problem is minux, EVERYTHING hoon laws are meant to cover already has a charge that can be laid. Hoon laws are pointless.

There's speeding, reckless driving, dangerous driving, etc... The hoon laws are just there to grant more power to Police.

98 in a Rodeo, he must have been suicidal.
Some people just snap and want to go at that age, my guess is he will plead insanity.
