instead of doing better driving education, or giving young people cheap access to a place where they can push their cars they make ridiculous reactionary policy like this

the road toll hasn’t changed much at all in the last 5 years and i dare say it hasn’t changed much at all when you take population growth into account.

also its been proven time and time and time again that harsher penalties DO NOT make for less crime…

20 years ago “hoons” or enthusiasts as i will call them drove cars that would be considered completely illegal today, there were whole sections of road that people knew were used for street racing, fast driving and drag racing. And it was never a problem…

the vehicle laws in this country are some of the strictest anywhere in the world, and for wehat reason? im sick of it…

good law. I ride a bicycle and put up with hoons trying to swerve to run me off the road, trying to scare me by driving too close at high speed, abusing me for just being on the road, and throwing things at me while they drive past.

If you cant judge the distance and speed of another vehicle or be able to control your vehicle then you shouldn’t possess a licence.

Licence suspension I agree with, but the fine would probably even be more than the value of the average hoon’s car. It’s just unrealistic and perhaps greedy.

Stupid cops/pigs! I want to know what the actual statistics REALLY are for every street racer out there, how often results in an actual crash or someone being injured? I think you’d find that the percentages are in fact VERY small.

It is ignorant and stupid for someone to say every single street racer will result in an accident.
It should be reviewed and enforced on a case by case basis only and only when there has been an actual crash. If someone if a good driver and never has a crash why should they pay the penalty when that person knows their own limits?

In other countries like Serbia and Hong Kong it is only enforced when the driver causes the accident – which is the way it SHOULD be.

Stupid cops why don’t they go go their jobs right and actually do something to service the community from violent offenders – but no they couldn’t care less about that it’s all about money.

hai everyone do you realise the laws are hipacritical, i see lots of government associated people including todays officers flick there lights just to speed and let go, i see justice will never be served they will only target the minority… ive seen this as evidence and think wish i could be some one that can do something about it, because the way i see it is if they want to bring out laws let it apply to everyone that does the wrong thing not just your everyday person. thank you for reading my opinion

I was just wondering about the laws of car heights and neon lights in Queensland like how high can you have your car or if you can have neon lights or not?
Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks

What they need most is just somewhere to go, they use streets out of necessity, even then when they do its far away from houses, people and other cars, but the cops specifically target those areas, just to find them and raise revenue.

A large concrete or asphalt area, made specifically for supervised “hooning” in each town/city where “hooning” is a problem is all that is required.
