we should have laws to allow these things on industrial areas during weekend .
My first few lessons were on simple car control done within the local shopping center car park over a few Sundays. Back then everything was closed on Sunday so the car parks were empty but for the few learners. Wide open spaces covered in bitumen without a hoons to be seen as they had the decency to drive some distance out of suburbia...
Then 7 day a week shopping started, only later for us all to supposedly become a 24/7 society. Shopping centre car parks were this never empty in the same way, other than after 11 or midnight.
This followed by the lazy hoons who didn’t want to drive far and found these wide open spaces within these large car parks irresistible. The result was management installed concrete separators and /or dug up sections of bitumen and put in some trees.. So these hoons resorted to industrial estates...
Tearing up the street may be fun but it’s not everyone’s idea of a nice time, or as the tidally pleasing to have to look at the damage left behind. Some owners of these industrial estate businesses actually work on the weekend so I doubt they’d want to see their streets offered up for such hoons use.
Really, doing burnouts in public streets Its just like graffiti tagging. Such is vandalism to most and only art to the vandals (yeah its obvious where I stand on tagging, hooning also).
Why reward such hoon vandalism by punishing owners of properties in industrial estates? or indeed by spending millions of taxpayers dollars building a place of hoons worship?
As is, hooning on public streets is cheap (unless caught) and it affords them the use of their road insurance. Any oopsies and their car insurance covers the vehicle which is not the case if they are on a track. These (mostly) young drivers need to grow up and act their age as having an adult with the mental age of a 12 yo behind the wheel isn’t a good mix.
I say spend the dollars on enforcement and on create more car crushing events
I’d also turn up to any legal public flogging of repeat offenders... as long as there is popcorn one can buy
