the 3 strikes stick to your name. if you dont get that last bit, i think it was 'the third strike for that hoon happened to be when he was driving his wifes company car, so the police comfiscated that'.
and as you said phatr32, if u get done for 'hooning' in you nice 32/33/34 gts/t/R, then go buy a VL for $500 (maybe for a good one...) and go start laying black lines out front of a cop shop, then go drive the skyline till you get two more strikes up, spend another $500 on a VL, and your free again, although i suspect you wouldnt have a licence by that time anyway
