So Hooning is the next thing in the spotlight, it may take 5 to 7 years but it will be systematically enforced until the general population will no longer accept it.NT has lost open speed limits, we all knew it would happen, in 5 years it also will be widely accepted. I guess we have to make enouh money so we can indulge our passion of speed, and take it to the track. RIP HOONINGScotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 14/01/08 05:54 AM Share Posted 14/01/08 05:54 AM Still waiting for one of these to end up being challenged under the "entrapment" consideration.... in the mean time, it appears that the "hoodlums" will have some issues to deal with. Hence we see massive get togethers like saturday nights turn out at Broadwater being targeted.....Courier Mail:HOONS did burnouts in front of shocked police who impounded seven cars during a weekend traffic blitz conducted at the Gold Coast.During the crackdown almost a third of drivers pulled over were arrested or issued with traffic infringement notices. The blitz, dubbed Operation Trap Door, targeted known hoon hotspot the Southport Broadwater car park and major roads including the M1. Southport police station officer-in-charge Scott Bolitho said police were stunned and dismayed by some driver behaviour, especially during rain on last night and early this morning. Some car enthusiasts leaving the Broadwater car park thumbed their noses at the large police presence by fishtailing their vehicles and doing burnouts. ``That's just remarkable,'' Acting Senior Sergeant Bolitho said. ``If they're doing that in front of police, then what are they doing when police aren't there? There's no doubt there's a band of younger drivers that just don't seem to heed road rules and regulations, even in front of police.'' One motorist was pulled over on the M1 at Helensvale travelling at 160km/h - a speed Sen-Sgt Bolitho described as 'death on wheels'. Another motorist was stopped at Ashmore doing 113km/h in a 60km/h zone. All up, police pulled over more than 370 drivers and issued 113 infringement notices. Five motorists caught in the blitz risk having their cars confiscated under new legislation. The law allows vehicles to be seized from second-time offenders caught driving unlicensed or unregistered, with illegally modified or seriously defective vehicles or for high-range drink-driving. Four people were charged with drink-driving - the worst with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.149 per cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this quote amusing,I know the limit is 110, but the m1 is a great road and they could easily increase that limit and follow in germany's footsteps. we all know they won't cause its a big money spinner with all the speed camera's along that road.

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 17y 10m 19d Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 14/01/08 08:35 AM Share Posted 14/01/08 08:35 AM I dont think tearing away from the lights upto 10k's over the limit is as bad as some old fart in a Pulsar pulling out infront of me when I am doing 80.They are really harping on about hooning as it is deemed as unsafe blah blah blah.I find it amazing when I am sitting at the lights and a women and her 3 kids are in a minivan next to me and the tyres are bald.Cops would NEVER pull a car like that over but is more of a death trap than a loud exhaust or a lowered car.Have a look next time you are stopped at the lights.You will be amazed at how many regular cars are running bald tyres.
