		<description>Hi Everyone,
Im a frightenned driver in South Australia, with a car that looks fast and is fast. B U T:

I have NEVER had a driving offense in the ten years ive had my license. So i DEFINATELY dont participate in hoon activities.

2 Questions:
- What happens if im wrongly accused by a jealous or corrupt police officer of doing something wrong just because my car looks fast?
- What happens if I keep on getting defected for no reason by an UNTRAINED officer, even though there is nothing wrong with my car (completely stock car). Isnt that harrassment?

It seems that we might as well give up on this, because no one has an answer on how to fight these corrupt laws. I agree that even saving ONE life makes tough laws worth while, but not all drivers should be picked on and defected if they have never done a thing wrong. That is the unfair bit.

What answer is there to protect the truly honest drivers with legal cars? If someone owns a firearm for example, does that mean they should be automatically accused of killing someone, just because a gun looks like it can kill someone?</description>

		<description>Expensive lesson, and probably not fitting to the &quot;crime&quot;. Revenue is hiding under the guise of safety and hazard reduction. For the kill joys in blue, go do some real police work. As for the &quot;serves him right&quot; people, go yell at the tv when a current affair is on.</description>

		<description>Everyone is quick to say &quot;take it to the track for $20&quot;. What doesn&#039;t make it to the media is that if you dare to  actually drive your street registered modified car to the track, you will get bent over by the same people who tell you to take it to the track. My license is currently suspended because last time I went to the drags I  &quot;allegedly&quot; broke the speed limit by 40kph infront of a marked police car. It didn&#039;t happen.</description>

		<description>I want to know what happens when police take off quick, or turn around hard and squeal the tyres, do they confiscate their wife......heck, watching TV would have you belive every police car turns around in a cloud of smoke...
This is just a complete abuse of legislative power.....but being devils advocate says second time....do the time.

I for one do not believe that authorities should have the rights to confiscate cars without concrete proof that it was committed ie: video evidence, including driver in case.

What happens if I let my son drive my GT and he does a skid....</description>

		<description>The really sad part is, Most of you who say &quot;sucked in&quot; he shouldn&#039;t have done it..

I guarantee most of you have done the very same thing at one time or another, The only difference is you didn&#039;t get caught.

So before you pass judgment, go down to your local police station and tell them to take your car, because you too have broken this very unjust law at some point and deserve the very same punishment, then you will have the right to pass your petty judgment on others.

Call me a hoon if you like but I too would love to get out in my car car and shred a set of tires, hey I payed for them, And I also pay for the very tarmac I want to shred them on.

but do you know what would be better?
If there was a controlled environment to do it in...

What happened to prevention before cure?
A government funded site would get a very large majority of these people off the public roads and onto the track.

In my town of Wollongong we almost had that option until whingers like you lot protested against it, because of the noise and &quot;the unsavory types&quot; So don&#039;t you dare criticize, because people like you are the reason it&#039;s done on the streets..

So call me a hoon if you want
&#039;Cause I&#039;m F*cking Proud Of IT&quot;

now pull you nose out and get back to you knitting..</description>

		<description>n they think that taking away a $200,000 car is going to stop the hoons??
first thing they have no right to sell such a car if it aint theirs. If anything it should just
be inpounded for like 2 months or something
You see other idiots doin burnouts n skids n their $h!t box of a car
but noo the cops dont go for them
they always go for the ones that look better
because they then can get some satifaction that they have put away a hot car, n not the real hoon
absolutly stup!d i reakon!!</description>

		<description>BIG JIM, yeah i guess ur right, i mean most ppl just set the cruise control on highways, sit their following the road, then just slowly start getting drowsy, loose consentration, then SHIT HAppens and their in a hospital bed. 

and wen it comes to low speed limits, some are. and wat is really annoying is when their is like 4 different within 5 to 10 km of travel on the same road, i mean 1 minute 80, then down to 60, then 70, then 90, i mean for crying out loud how hard can it be to set 1 speed limit on a 5 or 10km stretch of the same road</description>

		<description>CAR-ENTHUSIAST, I agree with everything you said. 

Another problem  in Australia with the too low speed limits and long distances with relatively unchanging terrain is fatigue.  European scientists have proven that when speed limits go down fatigue related crashes go up, thats why they have speed unlimited autobahns. 

This would be the factor behind the NT s crash increase statistics.</description>

		<description>BIG JIM, thank you, i thought no one would mention the Northern Territory, and speaking of the Norhern Territory, since this 130 km, speed limit was introduced (begining of 2007) You would think that death rates, and crashes have at least halved. but guess what by the end of 2007, car crashes and car crash fatalities in the Northern Territory have increased by 20 %. oh quick lets make a even more strict speed limit at 80 km, lol you&#039;d think that would change something, but it probably wont. cause half the causes of crashes is probably speed limits, as in a car you spend more time watching the DAMNED SPEEDO instead of the ROAD AHEAD.

and as for the people saying, that he should of paid $40 and went to the track. Track days are only on specific dates, and track days arn&#039;t on 24 hours. And another thing what if this person lived far in the country side, or on the other side of the state say, 500km or 1000 km from where the nearest track is located. Why should he spend so much money and time getting to the track just to do 1 burnout and piss off home.

OK NOW to answer the question, first, A car enthusiast is a person who, loves cars, has cars as a hobby, a person with a passion, an amazement for cars, a person who as a kid saw brocky, or johnson driving round, bathurst and thought i wana do that one day. 

You wana know what i think off all this its just ridiculous, i mean a man spends his whole life saving up $$$200 000, to buy a car that is rare, a car he loves, a car that is a piece of Australian History, and all of this is gone, because he broke one boring ass written law, that some politician thought of while driving home in his toyota prius.

You see the word(s) FREEDOM, or free-country mean nothing these days, their is no such thing as FREEDOM, their is never gona be such thing as WORLD PEACE. Y because a bunch of no-bodies in government(s) (WORLD WIDE) think they have a right to tell us how to live, and what is right and wrong. 

LOL i mean i won&#039;t be too surprised if in 30,40, or 50 yrs time we (all humans) rn&#039;t allowed to watch tv after 7pm, because its illegal, or that we rn&#039;t alowed to be outdors afta dusk, or that we rn&#039;t allowed to sneeze, couch, or breath in public, because its illegal.

LOL FEEL FRE TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING I JUST SAID. (if u can be bothered to read the whole thing)</description>
