Botany Hoon Crackdown

[Lachlan33]

So im reading in the paper about the incident at botany overnight.

For those that don't know, police did a big crackdown on 'hoons' issueing 39 infringements, 18 defects and siezing 8 cars.

Some interesting figures for you:

3 of the 8 drivers of siezed cars were P platers.

The 8 cars were 3 Holden Commodore's, a Holden Ute, a Holden Torana, 2 Ford falcon's and a Nissan 200ZX (I think they mean 200sx)

Is it just me or are Holden's THE most hooned cars around? I also find it interesting that less than half of the taken cars belonged to P platers. Maybe the community needs to realise that wait, other people are wankers on the road as well.

I kinda wish the RTA/Police would focus less on the tuner car with a POD and FMIC and more on the rust bucket VL's with drum brakes and leaf springs. More often than not the fatality's involving P platers are Holden's.

Everytime I see an article about a street racer, crash, excess speed etc, 9 times out of 10, its a Holden.

I dunno I found it an itneresting read anyway.

Oh and the riot squad was called in after the car owners and friends fronted upto the RTA demanding their cars back haha. Pack of yobs if you ask me.

Commodore is a model that has now been sold for near on 30 years

It has been consistently been one of the highest selling cars in this country.

They are cheap to buy, maintain, run, modify.

Why do people act surprised to see Commodore feature highly in any road story?

Because if the media is to be believed its only P platers in 'Illegally modified imported performance cars' that ever do anything wrong. Ever.

Stereotypes affect all car owners.

Alllllrighty people I wasn't trying to start a flame against Holden/Import drivers. My comments are just light hearted jabs, nothing more. Calm down.
