What about our South Australian Polly, appointed to the Cabinet, Minister for Roads @ Traffic, big mouthing on Hoons etc, with 4 other portfolios, with 30+ driving offenses/convictions and unpaid fines, including disqualifications. A minister, who has roads and traffic taken away from him. Still minister for prisons. Think I will volunteer for time in his jail, recon it would be great, with respect. There is no respect there from the top of the tree, how can one expect pumped young blokes to show respect for anything

Kevin David Barron, 48, also received a lifetime ban from driving when he was sentenced in the Perth District Court today. He was made eligible for parole, meaning he could walk free from jail after serving five years and six months behind bars.


And i suppose he blames his parents???

...this is my point, too many parents aren't teaching respect to their kids, and are letting the kids get around thinking that they can do whatever they want.

Yeah you are right about that. We had some things stolen from under our patio last week and I believe that it was probably 12 - 13 year olds. We also see some kids wandering the streets after dark and their parents probably have no idea where they are.

Some of the people i drive with really scare me. It is not just speed. But complete retardedness. There is little consideration for what other drivers want (that doesn't change with age it seems), not confident enough where it counts, and overly confident where they shouldn't be.
There is little anticipation, no checking of side streets, always trusting green lights, lack of head-checks all that sorta stuff.
The drink driving one is a huge problem. And to be honest i think it is the girls that do it more often, with a "it'll be fine" attitude. I hate this, and really think it is ridiculous. I really couldn't care less if they kill themselves in this situation, it is the poor person they could crash into that is the main worry.
I'll admit, i go over the speed limit occasionally, but never when it is inappropriate. Some people don't use the time/place judgement and go nuts everywhere.
Also, a lack of understanding of how a car controls. Probably an experience thing. But so many people i know have crashed/written of cars in the wet by taking corners to fast, and freak out when their car either doesn't turn at all, or over steers and they spin out.
Peer pressure is a big thing also. I get told occasionally stuff like "stop driving like a pussy, you can go faster". They shut up when they realise they'll be walking if they don't shut it. Lots of people just cave in though.
Lack of concentration is another thing. People just drive around with their heads completely elsewhere. Loud music, talking to 4 other people in the car etc. This is probably the most important thing. If you're paying attention, you really shouldn't cause an accident.

HOONS

Has to be the new hip hop catch phrase.
You tell me what is a HOON

"A Hoon is one of my greatest scources of amusement. I love it when one of them comes up behind me with his engine revving it's tits off and he hunts back and forth in my mirror looking for a chance to pass me while I am just moseying along at the speed limit with my throttle barely cracked.

Then he spots his break and goes roaring past me, throwing me dirty looks and swearing in front of his fat ugly girlfriend as he pulls away.

Less than 60 seconds later I apply light braking in the last 10m and pull up beside him at the traffic lights, look over, point at him and laugh my head offLOL while I am thinking "You will never be rich. You will probably never get old. You will kill yourself before you do. You haven't even grown up yet.""


Having resently been subjected to the hoon legislation and having my car taken,with out being found guilty of anything, highlighted to me the mental disorder , hostilities and sterro typing the community has placed on the youth of today, and the jelousey of sum lurking in the the community to make statments to that effect about there perceived interpritation to report a hoon.
Sick

"They did not take it off you for nothing. Who owns the car anyway?? You or the bank?? You are lucky they did not crush the car while you watched like they do in the U.S. Then you would have the debt but nothing to show for it. Would that make you think twice?? "


If your wheels loose traction with the roads surface ........you are a HOON and can have your car impounded with out charge under this legislation. Ask your self are you a hoon ????? i say so ...............

Fix the roads with my taxes

I am yet to come accross a more devisive set of rules / Law that only hightens future hostilities of youth towards all law enforcement agencys .

What is wrong with people ...........looking out there windows waiting to hear and see a hoon ......... Is this normal

0-50km flat out is not a crime
A Thumping will tuned V8 is not a crime.

"They might not be crimes but they are certainly socially unacceptable if they are done in an urban area. It shows a total lack of consideration toward anybody within earshot.
If you want to do that, take it out to the race track."

And if you got nothing else to do apart from bitch get a life

"I have a life and I want it to last as long as possible. I do not want it endangered by HOONS who have no concept of future."

TUNE IN TO BRITISH TOP GEAR SBS MONDAYS 7.30

"Great show and fortunately everything they do is under controlled conditions."

Thumbs up for the Australian Top Gear its not as good but the cars are.

GO FORD..............

Next time a plane even better a fighter jet flys over the top of your place ,and you run out to have a look,remember to go ring the cops.

"We get all the time as we live under a flight path. It is unavoidable. HOONING is avoidable."

Cheers Cisco

cALL DA COPS

If you were to do this at a race track under controlled conditions with appropriate safety measures in place, I would pay money to watch you.

If you do it in my neighbourhood, yes, I'll CALL DA COPS.

Doing it at the race track, you entertain people (make them feel good).

Doing it in the neighbourhood, you piss poeple off (make them feel bad).

So what is your motivation, entertaining people or pissing them off

Very sadly......
Last night, HOONS KILL another INNOCENT MOTORIST. Drag racing hoons last night caused the death of an everyday motorist. 1 DEAD 4 INJURED BADLY,AND SECOND CAR OF HOONS DEPARTED THE SCENE TAIL BETWEEN THEIR LEGS. GUTLESS BSSSSS IN SUBARU. relatives take dead dog pet, to bury
Google.... Adelaide Now for above story also "parents of warn" story

I think it's a bit 'today tonight' to blame kids in particular. My cousin has been in hospital 2 months now and counting, cause: an oldie coming off night shift falling asleep. My oldest friend lost his father and 2 sisters, cause: truckie on speed.

Personally I think arrogant careless pricks in large 4wds are just as dangerous, as are senile oldies who like driving the wrong way up freeways. Like this http://www.perthstreetbikes.com/forum/f14/death-driving-charge-against-senile-elderly-man-dismissed-80876/

In a dangerous situation I'd prefer a 'hoon' (hate that word) behind the wheel than a nervous nellie. Why? When I was 17 I had a 2ltr ford escort and spent plenty of time getting it sideways etc. Never had even a minor accident. In the last few years I've been in the middle of 2 major pile ups on the gateway motorway, the worst one the 6 cars in front hit and the 5 cars behind me. In both cases I drove out untouched, and I credit the driving skills I learned as a youngun.

I Loooove that.

Maybe they shouldn't let people under 30 drive V'8s or V'6s but make them drive 4 cylinder cars until they learn how to handle a vehicle in a situation.

such as a WRX or VR4???
call me the devils advocate, but its really not that simplistic unfortunately. A V6 commodore isnt really a powerful car but a WRX is. What about a tradesman under 30 who needs to tow stuff for work? Or drive any heavy machinery for that matter?

The old argument of "he can vote, fight and die for his country but cant drive a Commodore" etc etc

Its terribly unfortunate but its built into our (male) nature, whether its proving how fast/cool/brave we are or sneaking off to spear a wooly mammoth and prove our manhood (a few years back of course)
