amid concerns that hoon driving had reached epidemic proportions

My favourite bit of the article :ermm:

At the end of the day it's great if they get some bad drivers off the street, but I'd rather they targeted repeat offenders of theft, rape, murder etc :banana:

"All these cars should be banned from our streets. they are all very noisy and dangours, get waken up in the middle of the night all the time :banana: they have no respect."

I lol'd at that comment, because i have no respect :ermm: hehe

or they have been reported to us by the hoon hotline

*takes note of the plates of privately owned cop cars and calls hoon hotline to see if they get on the list*

Really, using that amount of resources to literally catch a handful of hoons is a shameful misuse of the police force. They should be focusing on other top 5 lists of thieves, assault, rapists, etc and leaving the traffic cops alone to go about their daily duty of catching out people who shouldn't be on the road LIKE THEY ALREADY DO.

Thank heavens! That article brings a breath of fresh air into this whole debate. And the wonderful people who have added their comments ... ... ... .. I can rest easy in my bed knowing that they will shortly decide whether or not we keep daylight saving in our wonderful, go-ahead State.

Hurrah for democracy. :D

``We know where they live. In a lot of instances, we know where they work and even the routes they take to get to work."

isnt that a waste of police resources and a big invasion of privacy?

I dont know about anyone else but i wouldnt be to happy if i knew cops had been following me and know which way i go to work

i dont see people complaining about dangerous drivers. always these hoon with their imports and loud exhausts. ive seen police not do anything about people going 110 on tonkin and they sat right on my ass while i was going 100 in the left lane.

i dont know why they only class imports/sports cars as hoons. sat night i was on beaufort st[think its the spelling] and a car was turning and cars were parked in the left lane so i was stopped. i kept my foot on teh brake coz i saw a car coming from the left lane moved to teh right lane. it didnt showed any sign of stopping so i moved my car abit when i saw its headlight dip from braking so hard. he ended up next to me and if i didnt move that idiot in teh excel would have rear ended me and i had my lil sister and gf in the back.

"Police have impounded 3823 vehicles since anti-hoon legislation came into effect in September 2004"

I would bet that every single 1 of these was either a modified jap import, or your typical modified holden/ford. Not 1 of them would have been the idiots who speed & cut people off in their standard shitboxes. Theyre also the 1s who sit an inch from your rear bumper, & have absolutely no hope of stopping if you jump on the breaks.

But as their car is not modified, in the eyes of the police, they couldnt possibly be classified a "hoon". No matter how many times they get done for speeding, they dont get listed as serial offending hoons. They simply got caught again. Why not do us all a favour & impound their shitboxes so that we dont have to worry about their crazy shitboxes running into us when we're cruising to work??

http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/saf..._Stats_2007.pdf

this is the annual stats.....

more then 50% of deaths are 26-59 yrs of age for 2007 ie 434/796 but yet they say it is young people (17-25 yrs) which is less then half of this only 200 people....

so who is the real problem and this is their stats what is published....

there is also more deaths in both male and female of age group 40-59 and 26-39 then there is 17-25 also proven in this same document..... so once again who is the real hoon issue??

maybe these real stats should be published hey :huh:

just my 10 cents and i could still come up with a lot more :huh:

I wish they would post all stats to really wake up the population....

A couple of things:

1: Remember, it is always someone elses fault or atleast there is someone doing something worse than you.

So don't feel any need to take responsibility for your own actions. Just point out something someone else is doing wrong. Got caught doing something stupid on the road? Easy just point out someone else speeding. Got a yellow sticker? Point at someone elses unroadworthy car. Remember kiddies your wrong doing is always diminished by someone elses. (If anyone missed it that was sarcasm...)

2: Cops need to dose up on more testosterone.

"Certainly, apprehending hoons ad hoc is wonderful..." These are the same police who regularly confess they have no real idea how to reduce the road toll. This sort of stupidity is what happens when a public nuisance offense is dressed up as a road safety issue.

I don't think tailgaiting is classed as driving like a hoon.

ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1974 - SECT 78A

circumstances of aggravation means circumstances in which —

(a) the vehicle is being used to race another vehicle;

(b) the vehicle is being used in an attempt to establish or break a speed record;

(c ) the speed, or the acceleration, braking or steering capability, of the vehicle is being tested or contested in any way;

(d) the skill of the vehicle’s driver is being tested or contested in any way;

(e) the vehicle is driven in a manner that causes smoke to come from one or more of the vehicle’s tyres or a substance on the driving surface; or

(f) the vehicle is driven in a manner that causes one or more of the vehicle’s driving wheels to lose traction with the driving surface;

haha. thats so widely open to interpretation its a joke. how would ya be if you got hoon lawed for trying to break 80km/h on the freeway in a 120y for the first time in history

Im slowly trying to educate my brother on this as he is a police officer, he got a 50 year old lady for DUI, and yellow stickered numerous hyundais.

Nice one :) , also tell him to keep an eye out for soccer mums who cuts everyone off in their oversized 4WDs. :)

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
