Hoon Squad!

[PurpleR32]

That's right ladies and gentlemen, there is now an entire department dedicated to hoons.

So for those of us driving well looked after Japanese cars, expect to be pulled over for a random breath test & license check more than ever.

Actually sickens me to think they just brush the hoon label over everyone AND they are wasting more and more resources on this.

I honestly believe a driver training day should be mandatory for all L platers, prior to getting their P's......AND the instructor has to pass them.

anyhoo enough of my ramblings

BTW....didnt Ken Lay get caught hooning not long ago? 54 in a 50 is hooning now isn't it?

[bluejeans]

im a tax payer and id rather give my money to a peice of dog shit than this guy..

*by the way, I would love to know if Ken Lay even lost any demerit points.

[alr33x]

doubt he would have.. they look after their own well..

this squad is a fkn joke still nightly bashings and stabbings assaults up 11bty percent in the last decade and the biggest thing for them to worry about is cars and they wont even focus in the right area i'd like to know how many ppl have died from someone dropping a skid in the middle of a industrial estate

[Omurru]

Sounds like its more directed at people causing accidents by driving drunk etc. Maybe this is the new meaning of hooning? I'm not a hoon anymore because I drive a Jap car , to be a hoon I'd need to be a drunk bogan driving a commodore at high speed

[alr33x]

yeh right if u think that your gunna walk funny for a week they will rape harder then ever now it sounds like an epic amount of wasted money time and effort go solve a real crime.. its just the courts who need to get tougher police are already catching drink drivers and ppl who cause accidents

[BeEnAr]

hahahahaa Ken Laaaaaaaaaaaay

If applied correctly then it could be a good thing. I mean take the focus off the people who stumble into a 50 zone from a 60 zone and get done for doing 10km/h over to the idiots drinking and driving, going way over the limit and ending up in peoples yards and injuring people etc.

I hope the appointment of the task force means the courts starting doing their jobs, otherwise its just hundreds of thousands in extra policing which could yield more benefit elsewhere

If it turns into a defect people for having wheels 2" bigger then std even though they have new $500 a corner tyres on them then that will be a shame.

[D-G]

I am all for them cleaning up the streets, but seeing their dumb information really pisses me off...

"Of 8000 serious crashes in 2007 - 1000 leading to brain injury, loss of limb or paraplegia - only 40 drivers were charged with serious offences."

Ok so every week how many people die from bashings and stabbings in Victoria, most of which are in Melbourne, what do they get? A slap on the wrist and back out into the public you go.

They put together a top notch team or homicide investigators and best police around - because its so hard to pull over a car for speeding or doing a burnout? Wow don't they spend their resources well.

I am sure most of us here see more things than cops do, i have said to myself multiple times, if i was a cop... wow...

The department is just stupid, plain and simply. They have no idea what they are doing. Its quite sickening, i am just gonna sell my car and buy a bloody Swift or something.

The stupid thing is now that "hooning" is the real type of criminal activity and stabbings/bashings are nothing anymore as it seems like it. Cops dont focus on the real situation. This will not change nothing and only increase the deaths from random attacks.

[bozodos]

everyone who PAYS for teh Herald Sun, you are all guilty of supporting this farce by association

[bluejeans]

a 93 year old or so got picked up for speeding a few weeks ago and was labeled a 'hoon' that shows how stupid it is getting..

cos yeah im sure he was driving his commodore which was lowered and had neons down chapel smoking his rear tyres..

[wanzi]

the sort of corruption we see even with squads like this is pretty disgraceful. takes me back a few years to when jeff kennett got pulled over doing 140km in a 100km zone and got off with nothing, while a plumber on the same day in the same situation lost his license for a year. funny how that works

[MUZT3K]

f*k this governments going up the shit...i dont even know the real meaning of a hoon anymore...it used to be for doing burnouts etc...but now your labled as a hoon if your on the phone. Like someone said...they want to get the road toll lower by 2017...but the population is just going to get bigger by then which means more cars on the road which means more conjested roads and more likely of an accident. Other countries raise there speed limits and it works..if your going 120 your more focused on the road...but if your constanly going 60 you start to day dream therefore you get dickheads running red lights n hitting people. Eg. Rocky the la porchetta owner. Anyways fck the government. Enuff from me.

[MUZT3K]

oh and also..out of how ever many people have died so far this year..how many of them have been someone just rippin a burnout or doing 130 that drive a moded car (not under the influence of drugs or alchol) slim to non...99% of the people who cause this accidents are the drunk idiots. You watch...us import drivers are going to be targeted worse then ever boys...get your stock stuff ready n book an appointment at your local mechanics

They will always bug us in our lil rice burners. Therefore, make your car 100 per cent legal...... block off the blow off valve so you get that fully sick flutter, and flutter the shit out of the car next to cops. Thats what i do, after i got done 3 times and pulled over 9 times. All "random" checks of course.

[bozodos]

how is your car "legal" with the below mentioned list of mods?! you'll get shafted and I will LOL

[alr33x]

^^^^

umm?

i really agree though sick of everything related to cars/traffic is "hoon" some guy goes running over bins and his a hoon? i mean really isnt a hoon someone who rips skids?

[bozodos]

even the local news and newspaper are regurgitating this latest bullshit that a "majority" (out of 4000 LOL), want speed limits REDUCED. Is this how scared people have become thanks to a clever spin campaign, no thanks to Ken Lay etc and tabloid media!?

[Astro Bear]
