Hoons Cars Will Be Destroyed And Footage Will Be Shown

[HOT_R33]

I hope Iemma is going to do that same thing for all the rich b*tch soccer mum BMW SUV driver's that are constantly doing 80 thru school zones or double parking in 2 lane streets just to pick up their kids. (Here's a tip, just becuase you put your hazard lights doesn't mean you can pull up where ever you bloody feel like!)

Why have a media imposed a form of pointless punishment for one type of dangerous driving behaviour while another type of equally dangerous driving behaviour goes un-noticed?

Another typical example of the media jumping on the band wagon with a bunch of useless, unemployed, bored "Letter to the Editor" writers with nothing better to do with their time than make up fake "street racing hoon" stories that only make trouble for everyone who actually do play by the rules.

GO GET A JOB!! STOP FILLING UP MY NEWSPAPER WITH YOUR BULLSH*T!!

i think this topic finally got it's just credit....

however... modified cars make for easier targets and more publicity.... so i doubt anything will be done to rectify the b/s.

No... thats not what it says at all.

Its pretty rare that a stock '89 magna is going to be used for street racing. They are just saying that in most cases the cars are modified and loud because stereotypically they are. They're not saying that its a criteria for having your car crushed.

What is street racing? Giving someone a run just off a set of traffic lights or organised street meets?

If so, why the f**k can't a stock '89 magna be used for street racing? If the shitflamin mongrel next door gets their car crushed for driving shit, then im all for this rule.

Buh? Did you even read my post fully??... I never said that an 89 magna cant be used for street racing

I said (and I'll quote myself again so you read it properly this time):

I was talking about how having a loud and modified car ISNT criteria for having your car crushed, but generally cars that are street racing are modified and loud...

one has to define "street racing" and i can asuure you its not as "literal" as the title suggests.

speaking from close experiance a while ago i got caught taking off quickly from a set of lights. not racing anyone. just beeing a dick. i was charged with burnout,dangerouse drive,street racing. i ended up pleading guilty to neg drive after they added it as backup charge.

so.. eavan a slight "agressive acceleration" could result in a street racing charge. and the way its heading all "hoon" related charges.

oh and by the way.. for those who listen to the radio this proposed "law" is not going to be followed thru as yet.

as discussed it has been rejected by the upperhouse as destroying these hoons cars is destroying the property off banks and lendors. and therefore bankrupting the said hoons. and destroying the income of the banks and lendors. so.... its financaly not fiesable.

sory mate. your nazi extreemest scipione police state will have to just keep ramping fines up and ruining lives of good hard working enthusiests like myself who admitadly do make mistakes on occation.

this will ultimatly lead to workshop suffering from lost business as people will be to scared to drive there cars letalone modify them.

and to properly prepare race cars is not cheap.. no group buys here fellas. 120 an hour minimum.

[T04GTR]

so what i want to know is.. why dont we have police that actually look after civil problems like burglaries and assults. actually looking after the comunity. nooooo. thats to hard.. wel just put that budget into ruining fred blogges life cos his skyline that he just bought, and thougth hed give it a little test..

also. i feel that these new powers can only result in a further poor respect for the highway patrol. its only a matter of time before they pin some mob dude and ww3 will start lol.

im by no means saying its ok to give it a hit. just the penalty for doing just that is way to seveer. new laws, well not new now have given police a compulsary "no descression" power of instanlly suspending your licence for being "in there eyes" reckless or dangerouse" for 14 days. and letting the magistrate decide your fate. not them. so it takes away any bit of character you may have. and apon doing so.

they circle the "in my opinion a further suspension is reqired" and send it to the rta befor the magistrate evan sees it..

and for those who dont know the MINIMUM suspension is 12 months. and not defendable in court. il evan scan it for those who dont believe. its a police state where the government wants us to all be driving standard toyota echos. and they will not stop till we all give up. i myself am sick of it and will probably move oversease and take my mechanical/ racecar prepping knoledge with m,e. . cos there is just no justice what so ever anymore. and soon no market for "performance workshops"

[T04GTR]

yes. its very easy to take the spotlight away from the cockroach problem at rns hospital i hate this country well this state anyway... i seriously have lost all hope.

[siddr20]

yeah I know, but that's part of my point. who determines what is street racing? what is just speeding? what is just speeding beside/near a car that also happens to be speeding? that's the problem, the whole thing is very subjective.

thats exactly what i was trying to say in my first post on page one.

[wilch]

People suck.

[wilch]

...Iemma with another ridiculous knee-jerk reaction. Lets all make sure we never, ever vote Labor again shall we?

[kjb_r33]

Crushing guns stopped people getting shot didnt it? on, no wait, it didnt...

[D3bb4]

It's not even a knee jerk reaction but... it's just b/s.

The last major street racing incident was months back, and there was a massive police "crackdown" which... suprise suprise... caught people speeding alot overnight. Racing? no. Speeding? Yes.

Maybe the media should get properly involved and see the other side of this argument for a change.

lol I'm going to import a s13 shitbox just to watch it get crashed up, how cool would that be?

even better I might buy a commodore, hope the cops beleive it is fast enough to race.

BTW street racing has been an offence and car confiscation/resale has been legal in nsw for years.

[SmittyR33]

Lucky I live in Queensland. A lot of us are going to get shafted out of this. This sort of action might get some people off the streets but its also going to provoke a lot of people to run from the cops. Running from the cops = high speed chase = people dying.

Yay

[mesmerized]

i agree with rukus

a drunk driver is far more dangerous than a street racer, but both are incredibly dangerous

a drunk driver can have blurred vision, the inablitiy to change gears properly, be overconfident, meander between lanes and into oncoming traffic, be inatentive/fall asleep at the wheel, have lowered inhibitions/not care if you hit something, greaten the chance for road rage, barf on the cd deck etc.

once 8 years ago after having 3 drinks in an hour, i got behind the wheel, drove 50 metres down the road and said to myself 'nup, f#$ck this sketchy sh*t, i'm catching a cab home'. and that was only after 3 drinks and i felt a bit dizzy. alot of the DUI'S you read about in the paper are people with a lot a greater blood alcohol reading than what i would've had.

a street racer will most likely be pumped full of adrenaline, therefore more aware than and would have faster reaction times as opposed to a drunk person ( i have never street raced and don't ever intend to or condone it). i'm not defending street racers, and by no means saying it's safe under any circumstances. maybe they should as punishment have to do community service. be made to do something constructive for the community as opposed to the government destroying their property leaving them in debt, leading them to sign up for welfare, costing the taxpayer more money.

all i'm saying is i believe i would be for more likely to cause an accident if i was drunk

and don't get me started about the rich f*ckers in their bmw's and merc's on their mobile phones

end rant

All good!

I got a letter the other day from the RTA urging me to improve my driving habits.

I think they should send the same thing to street racers.

It made me re-think my actions.

Write back and tell 'em you can't change your driving habits because you're a woman.

I'll piss off now before she kills me...
