    Story from News.com.au

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

    Anyway I lol'd walking frame hoons :rofl:

    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.

    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.
