Thread: Hoon caught doing 170 in 100 zone.

Good thing he isn't a P plater - it would be all over the news otherwise...

from whats been said on other forums, the guy is supposedly a quite capable driver, i know its still illegal, but the question begs to be asked...... how dangerous was it?

exactly which part do you find amusing?

According to the report l read he was actually following another driver doing similar speed driving a Nissan Skyline he was in a Nissan Pulsar.

His excuse to the cops he thought himself to be a capable driver and was used to driving racing cars.

Section of road he was on was one with plenty of bends so seeing a on coming car might have been difficult for him at that speed

Hoon Laws only good if enforced and more importantly if cars impounded and repeat offenders cars crushed in my opinion.

Trouble is in WA they have special licenses where delicensed drivers who can make out a hardship case to a Magistrate can get special license issued to them, even where they have been disqualified for drink driving , driving without license, driving causing death etc.

L have to laugh when social do gooders say things like ban smacking children by parents and reduce child death rates by 30%, no parent driven to distraction by action of child is going to think about it before over reacting and causing serious injury and death, same with hoon drivers being caught and having license and car removed and crushed is only sure way to be deterrent, stops hoon and stops mates lending them their cars as they know if caught will be crushed or impounded.

having thier licences removed wont stop them, imply look at how many unlicenced drivers are caught each year

as for risking having thier cars (which no doubt, some people owe some serious $$$ on), how long untill a driver decides to run and kills an innocent bystander because of this government stupidity?

i have yet to hear of a sensible, well thought out response from the government, ive only heard brainless kneejerk responses

btw, how many AULRO members with tight LSD's, lockers, even crappy tyres have had tyres chirp/squeal when doing a U-turn? plenty i'd bet, and now consider that in some states, tyres chirping/squealing when doing a u-turn is regarded as a "hooning" offence...... would you really want to see your landrover crushed under hoon laws???

as i said..... BRAINLESS kneejerk reactions...... plus the idiots who support them......

Still bloody dangerous . It was not race conditions in a controlled environment . It was normal roads with everyday road cars on it and maybe even kids or adults on push bikes ...... VERY stupid
