I agree it is stupid but let them do it.... When these silly people that dob in cars see it i am sure they will call the hoon hotline on you to make a point and say you were doing something while your car is on the truck then you have reason to get out of it :D false evidence...

Can i have one for my shed???

What a waste of money...

Hahaha, I knew you'd say that :P

When people see a "hoon's" car on a flat bed truck they automatically assume the driver was doing something stupid and either broke something or got hoonlawed anyway. Completely useless.

I'd expect it would give the older generation some satisfaction to see that hoons are being caught and shamed for their actions.

Not totally useless.

Yeah well this could go bad in so many ways. If your being punished for a "Hoon Act" but your not guilty, why should they slap stickers all over your car saying your a hoon before you go too court? You always get cops saying "I can yellow u for that" when they have no idea what there looking at. (Not all cops)

Whats next? "I can Hoon sticker you for that"? I see no real long/short term benefit. Only more frustration.

^^ yep person i know is due soon, also parantly u lose ur licence first offence now also

what was his car actually impounded for?

racing?

I havent heard about a loss of license for first offence under the anti hoon legislation.

I thought, for the first offence, the police officer who has sufficent evidence of the suspect committing a hoon offence, has the power to impound the vehicle for 48 hours without a court order.

On the second or subsequent offence, the court may then impound the vehicle for 3 months.

I'm placing some orders for those stickers now & gonna stick it on the Camry :P

At least they put the hoon sticker on a commodore, which is what I see the majority of the population hoons around in. compared to all the other cars...

No I have never been hoon lawed myself :P *crosses fingers*

Well that’s good too hear. I just don’t want too hear stories going around that last night I got pulled over and I got threatened too be Hoon stickered. How pathetic would that be?

There is no need for a Judge, it seems there turning cops into them.

I guess it’s a cheap way too cut back government time and money.

I'd imagine it would be no different to a cop threatening to yellow sticker a driver.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
