The things covered under "Hoon'' Laws. The main thing is Improper Use of a Motor Vehicle which is classified as driving a motor vehicle in a manner which intentionally causes the vehicle to undergo a loss of traction by one or more wheels.

Relevant offences are:

-Drive whilst disqualified/suspended with prior conviction for that offence committed after 1st July 2007

-Manner/Speed dangerous involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Careless Driving involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Improper use of motor vehicle.

-Organising, managing or engaging in a race or speed trial without authorisation. (Street race)

-Exceed speed limit by 45 km/h or more.

-Travel at 145 km/h or more in 110 km/h zone.

-Undue noise and smoke involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Fail to have full control of vehicle involving improper use of a vehicle.

There is the list for you, pretty obvious things obviously aimed at people doing burnouts/fish tailing. If you are stupid enough to do any of the above and get caught I don't see how you can be upset having your vehicle seized.

what classifies inproper use of motor viehcle.....

-- putting to much firewood in the boot.....

-- steering whith one hand instead of 2.....

-- not moving away from traffic lights fast enough to encourage flow of traffic.....

this list could go on... they have made this so broad that it covers anyone and everyone....

officer says:- you spilled your drink in car..... im taking it off you.

driver says:- Why it was only coke......

officer says:- you cant use your car like a Pub Bar or kitchen table..... im taking it under the hoon infringement of Improper use of motor vehicle.......

so people be prepaird to take it in the ass from police if you have dont the wrong thing or not.

Redback I explained the exact wording above in relation to improper use and it's alot of work for police to impound vehicle so unless serious driving offeces as above list have occurred then vehicle would not be impounded. It's poor attitude towards police like yours that make yourselves targets.

im not a target... i go out of my way to do the right thing... you havent explained anythign accorfing to your post... i read it as the list of things that could be charged against you as a hoon... and i know i exagerated but the term inproper use of a motor viehcle can mean many things.

liek i said.. i aint a target... are you implying that everyone with a comment is a hoon..... and the term you use "yourselves" comes accross as well....... ill let others decide.

Are you a police officer...? comments about the amount of work involved should only be valid if you are.. nearly every police officer i know will do there best to impress supremes and move further with there career.... you do get "nice" cops... nice cops aint correctly doing there job... they should never let you off the hook... police descression comes down to personality.... there for once in court becomes invalid.... ... nice cops are champs....... and cops are...... well.... cops.....

So.. In that case, why don't they just impound every other bloody driver in the country?

fkn idiots.

Yes I am a police officer so I can comment on how much work is involved. In many instances we have tried to impound vehicles and our area supervisors S/SGT's don't allow it unless they decided the offense involved is serious enough. To impond a vehicle will take us about 4-5 hours work with paperwork, processing offender waiting for tows and putting brief of evidence together for court. Not including court time so it's not something done lightly.

Impounding vehicles would only help your career if you want to move to TMU which about 99% of members have NO interest in. Otherwise I could issue you with fines, NOU or EPA which would cost the offender more money and time and only take 15 minutes for me.

I have given plenty of advice to numerous members on here in relation to police matters and don't go out of my way to give people hard time for minimal issues.

I have only impounded one vehicle which was do 70Kmh over speed limit and was a drink driver is that dangerous or serious enough to agree with impounding for you or was I been too harsh.

Police do read these forums as you should be aware and I only warned that comments bagging police will only make SAU members appear to be anti police and be more of a target. I have worked hard in my area in bridging the gap between police and car enthusiasts and as many on here have been pulled over by me know that.

Redback I explained the exact wording above in relation to improper use and it's alot of work for police to impound vehicle so unless serious driving offeces as above list have occurred then vehicle would not be impounded. It's poor attitude towards police like yours that make yourselves targets.

i noticed a previous thread of yours suggests your a cop...... if thats the case explain the term "yourselves....." and the reason you used it with the description of hoon in realation to a comment made... stating were a target of hooning..... actually why am i a target of hooning.... or how do we make targets of ourselves by making simple comments regarding the Legislation.... seems to me you like the power trip of being able to make a target of anyone you like as i said in my first post.... thanks for proving my point.

and as for my poor attitude... you dont know me... or 99.9% of the people on here...

edit: Explain himself during my slow typing..... ignore

Edited by Redback

yes we are car enthusiats... shouldnt we be able to express our selves in regards to Driving and what and what doesnt effect us.... you post reminding us that the cops read this forum isnt a scare tactic to stop us (mainly myself) is it?

the forum as ive been told by exec before has no affiliation with SAU (dont know how it cant)... the forum is a good spot to express concerns... its safe... behind my desk.... theres no way you would even listen to the second line of my concerns on the street... well maybe not you personally but a majority of police

anyway ive had my rant for this week... but im back on monday :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
