Need to remember that they throw around this stuff to sell newspapers, and get ratings.
Most of these pop journalists have as much integrity as a used car salesman.
Remember the Today Tonight video of the WRX, which was actually from New Zealand? They went on and on for weeks about how they were going to do something about "hoons on our roads".
Then remember the photos of the "hoons" that theyd pulled off the internet?
I'd take it all with a seriously big grain of salt.
The biggest problem is idiots on the road without basic driving skills, like knowing how to merge at speed, following basic road rules, and keeping safe distances between the vehicle in front.
In my area at least "hoons" in "hotted up cars with big exhausts" are outnumbered 100 to 1, by retarded soccer mums who drive over roundabouts and curbs in 4WDS.
