In the end, with these types of issues, I think it's just a matter of personal liberties.
I'm not a young person, nor probably a hoon by the strict sense, but at the end of the day -- if somebody wants to tell me how I should live my life, or the way in which I spend my time enjoying myself (to the fair extent that it does not frustrate or annoy or reduce the quality of life for somebody else in quantifiable and directly attributable basis)... they can go and get f**ked.
I pay my taxes, I pay for the police man's uniform, and expensive and un-necessary fancy highway patrol cars that I never really asked for, and at the end of the day I obey all other laws and requirements -- when it comes to the roads, why should I be treated like a criminal?
In Australia, the way in which the road rules are enforced, and created, and worst of all, the way in which driver training is viewed (and those that dare to even utter "if we train people they'll get over-confidence and hurt themselves"), is an absolute joke compared to any other *democracy*, even those that are less so.
