Depends if the hoon offence is attached to your car or your licence...I'm guessing the licence, or people would just sell the car after two strikes...

If that's true then on the 4th strike you'll probably lose your second car and be looking at some serious licence suspension time / fines or maybe jail?

hahaha way to encourage more cop chases, third strike, well you know the cars going to be crushed, you're going to be f**ked anyway, so who cares!?

nice to see VicPol being reactive instead of proactive lol

reason why i ask is..if your on 2 strikes..you can just buy a shitty car, rip a burnout in front of the cop get that crushed..then it resets..

but birds is probably right on that..but would like someone to confirm.

p.s..im already an f1 driver bluejeans

impounds don't reset. they stay on your record for 3 years (at the moment but might increase).

if you get your 3rd impounded, you will be going to court and you will likely lose your license for at least a year but probably more. so, it really wouldn't matter if the shit car is crushed because you wouldn't be able to drive for ages.

dont forget, the first 2 offenses would have seen a long loss of license as well. the only way to reduce your strikes is to wait the 3 years.

pritty much gives those guys that drive like hoons to buy a 3 grand P.O.S car and go nuts. and these cars are alot worse to be crashing in. and if you lose ur car who cares. un reg'd 3k 180sx for the crusher (FTC) lol

Awesome, more fancy crap, won't change nothing....if anything, making it worse. They focus far too much on revenue and this shit but the road toll is breaking records for being higher than ever....

Might want to check the actual statistics :nyaanyaa:

prediction is people that get there cars impounded will just get a family member or a mate to buy it back if it doesnt get crushed... Or if you saw u got flashed doing more the 45km/h, you will have around 28days before the cops knock on your door to pick it up so you might just sell it and say you had no idea... So many dodgy ways to get around...

But, If this makes it to victoria

you wont even see a flash... and if they claim this is to make roads safer, someone shoot me...

Application of the hoon laws is another example of flawed policy by both govt and police who designed the laws. It once again shows that when it comes to human resources, the govt and govt departments really do scrape the barrel in terms of the quality of talent they attract.

O.k. I get it, they want to take away what hoons regard as their most treasured asset - their car... i get it, but in just 5 minutes I can think up of a better plan/strategy/law than they thought up after however many months this was in the planning for.

1) Why are hoon laws fundamentally flawed?

- Bascially because they are a form of uncapped in effect mandatory penalty imposed on lawbreakers that in many cases will be a punishment whose severity far outweighs the original crime.

- Imagine a very real scanario where an individual driving a vehicle valused at approx. $50K on his 2nd impound strike has just been observed commitiing a hoon offence and is being hailed to pull over by a police officer. Given the likely punishment for this offence will be at least $50K for the offender, there is a very real and likely scenario that the offender will attempt to outrun the police - at pretty much any cost to both his own and the public's safety. Given that we know there are people in our society who will commit much more serious offences for much less than $50K of monetry gain, (armed robbery, contract killings, etc) the prospect of dangerous police pursuits is very real.

2) What the hoon laws should look like if they were to designed properly:

- On the 3rd strike, the offender will have to face court on answer to charges. If found guilty, the Judge, after taking into account the severity of the offence as well as the offenders priors, will impose a fine/penalty that is fitting.

- As part of this penalty, under the 3rd strike, the police force is to take ownership of the offenders vehicle and the vehicle is to be sold at auction regardless of its condition. The proceeds of this auction is to be used to pay the fines imposed by the court. Any moneys left over is to be returned to the offender. Any shortfall is to be paid by the offender.

I personally find what they are currently doing unconstitutional. We have courts for a reason. Judges are the qualified individuals to impose penalties on offenders. Under my system this would happen. Under the current system, there is floor to what the penalty is that discrimates against people with higher value cars.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
