Unfortunately, banning for life won't necessarily stop idiots like this one from getting behind the wheel.

Yes but the new 'hoon hotline' will be handy for reporting those pesky unmarked cars.

[FATAZZ]

won't people then just make fake reports?

Yeah, I dont like that EMSTA guy. Lets report him for hooning. "Um i swear officers, he was like going sidewayz, fully sick and all".

[fuzzy_scuz]

Yeah and get ya m8 in the passenger set to log another report on the same incident just to be sure.

Man I see that as a good way for people who hate losing being out burned at lights to report ya as a hoon. (Namely Commondore drivers)

Yeah, im pretty sure the system will not work well. Your taking a random persons word that another driver was "hooning". There would at least have to be a system where they would have to receive 'x' amount of reports aboput the same incident or multiple reports about the same driver for it to be even remotely accurate

f*kn dickheads man......man i hate the fact that my car sits in a mech shop for 4months, and by the time i get it back theyll ban skylines all together...

To make way for the GTR

it is all a conspiracy me thinks for Nissan Australia to corner the market.

In a related Herald Sun report:

It will give police more intelligence ...

God knows, they need some :laughing-smiley-014:

But really, dangerous driving and hooning aren't necessarily the same. Some idiot driving without any realisation of what is happening around him can be just as dangerous as the aforementioned 17 yo idiot

I dont get it somethin Im not proud of I got clocked 130km/h in a 70km/h zone.. no newspaper article for me and before everyone gets too uptight about the speeding.. I was on the way to my mothers car accident where a guy was threatening her by the side of the road...still shouldnt have sped and was stupid now I think about it but sometimes in those situations the blood rushes to your head..whats funny is my mother had been waiting 10minutes for a cop car to arrive.. I got pulled up just around the corner from the accident by a copper sitting there with a radar gun..

As far as the hoon hotline goes it won't work its a bit like the epa hotline.. I have a friend of a friend who has been reported to the epa 3 times for littering all 3 times he has successfully defended himself in court by saying it was mates playing a prank..

[cosmokram3r]

i was driving around the block in my mates area a few times coz i just had the new clutch put in was trying it out.. wasnt speeding i dont think just trying to get used to the clutch, and i couldve sworn sum guy was calling the cops and reporting my plates just because of the BOV sound he was probably reporting me as hooning! We'll he was on the phone and he was staring my car down then as i went past him was walking onto the middle of the road while on the phone and looking at the back of my car so im guessing he reported my plates? 2 months or so late havent heard anything =]

But this anti-hoon line is gonna be stupid everyones gonna dobb in everyone they dont like

[Sklyn]

i can see people ringing just for the sack of getting the cops onto the neighbours..

was at a mates house when another mate turned up, had his car idling for a bit to cool down and was checking a couple things under the bonnet, when a neighbour comes out screaming and shouting, telling him off for "hooning". The car was idling, I don't know how that can be hooning..

f*kn dickheads man......man i hate the fact that my car sits in a mech shop for 4months, and by the time i get it back theyll ban skylines all together...

dont complain. Iv been waiting 4 months for a car to get here and when it finally does its been stripped

they cant do you over on the word of another citizen.... even when a cop pulls you over with a radar gun they have to SHOW you the reading if you ask...
