Just saw it on ACA. It was a VY SS ripping skids through suburbia, silly boy. And yes his plates were there to be clearly seen a number of times. I love the way ACA are so quick to label him "Australia's dumbest hoon"

What was wrong with the story, he was an idiot and so are you people that are complaining about ACA trying to get him of our street's, I'd like to know what you lot would think if this so called idiot had run into your vehicle while hooning like he was, I hope he get's his vehicle crushed, it was only an SS anyway.

Agreed!

WTF, how can you guys hang it on ACA for airing footage of a tool who most certainly needs his wings clipped.

Theres no doubt thses shows are full of scum journalism, but every now and then someone sticks their head out and deserves the attention.

I hope the authorities bend this guy over and make an eample of him.

Heard today that Hoon driving may be upgraded to a criminal offence and not just a traffic offence.

No1 candidate right there!

Exactly and so it should be , because I would allmost say for sure that if this idiot had of actually killed or serioulsy injured someone, he would probably get of with a suspended sentence or something like a slap on the wrist, because we have to protect those that have such little respect for other's probably because he had such a hard childhood and his parent's never hugged him as a kid, it's wrong that they never learn from their own action's.

No doubt the guy is a moron, I was referring to my hatred towards ACA.

why because they want to get an idiot of the road's, have you got kid's, friend's/ family, did you not see the idiot drifting around the roundabout while car's were infront of him going about their normal day to day life, How would you react if you were in one of those car's infront with your family, would you feel safe and be happy,
When thing's don't go our way, why is it one of the 1st responses people say is, take your story or complaint to ACA and the likes, get your message accross, then people will listen, how hypocritical are we.

For once i agree with you Galaxy. The general public know the difference between an enthusiast and a hoon. Probably why i have never been pulled over and my friends with actual nice older cars get passed over all the time.
Nobody can say that a 60's - 70's car driven well is the same as a VN. It's all about driving attitude.

I agree... ACA only exist because of sensationalist journalism and all the drama queens who enjoy said shows...

They show a photo of a man and say:
Is this a mass murderer or is he just just misunderstood!
Hello! McFly! The answer always lies somewhere in between...
But if we don't sensationalise our mediocre boring story, then no-one's really gonna watch it, are they!

Don't stick up for them too much guys, they're the same FWITS who screamed that our muscle cars are killing our kiddies in 1971 which destroyed any future of our beloved you know what!

anyone got any prozac? ol galaxy's blown a fuse.... dont think we are condoning that behavior, i believe its the attitude, wording and stereotyping on behalf of the media the guys are frustrated with. It makes anyone thats into their cars look like a hoon.

When did ACA on that segment class all enthiusts that like's car's as hoon's, I never heard or read or seen that, so tell me when they did please???
Get over the media hype that all show's are out to get us, this story was clearly about "one certain individual" that did something irresponsible and then gloated about his action's to the world, and is still out there driving as we speak.

What do the authorities expect. Sure there are "hoons" out there that go too far but there is no where for them to go to enjoy their pride and joy.

The government / authorities in my opinion should organize more events on a regular basis that allow such people to show off their car and be able to enjoy what their hard earn dollars have got them, out of harms way. These same events should also promote safe driving in the community and offer courses designed for people to learn how to handle their car, respect their car, and provide a broader understanding of driving as a whole. Just doing your 120 hours and a test (which mind you the instructor basically shows you have to pass) is a joke.

I understand this may provoke more erratic driving on the roads, but in hind site you will always get people who just don't learn in all aspects of life. At least this way you provide an opportunity to everyone to enjoy and hopefully learn / reeducate.

P.S:- In Germany my boss told me it takes 3 months before you get your license which involves going to school and practical and cost approx $1000, with no L's or P's involve. This gives "SO my boss says" A better appreciation of driving, the rules of driving a car and the respect of driving it deserves.

Whats your thoughts everyone??

Until the government change their mentality that its not the speed of the vehicle but the idiot behind the wheel nothing will change.

Agreed. Who is with me. Lets start so sort of petition. Is anyone keen on the idea?

What!!! you have got to be joking, where does it say in the foreword of the owners manual of the SS Commodore, 'congratulations on the purchase of your new vehicle, it was built to break the law, enjoy'.

First and foremost a car is a mode of transport from a to b. If you chose to use it for extra curriculum activities thats fine, your parogotive, however, doing it on public roads is not acceptable regardless of other restrictions.

Just because your fortunate enough to own a nice car, doesnt make it ok to rip it up on public roads because you have no other options.

Hi, your are right in what you are saying and I totally agree with you. And i do not in any wat condone any form of hooning on our streets and motorways thus the reason way there should be an educational outlet for such people. An example would be I was in the CFA for 2 years. The fire captain at the time told me there use to be a bon fires held every weekend. This would pull in attract all sorts of people including fire bugs. These fire bugs had urges. These bon fires would help relieve these urges and in some cases prevent more fires occurring. Once these bon fires ceased they noticed a increase in fires started by fire bugs as they had no outlet.

The same principal would apply here. Obviously it would promote in some cases Firebugs to fire as would hoons to hooning but it would also provide an out let. Like anything in life you have too much of something you no longer feel a strong urge for it anymore or as much anyhow resulting in an decrease of incidents. Booze buses are a good example. Sure people will still drink and drive but there are some people including myself who will always think twice before getting in the car drunk.

[BENT_8]

With all due respects, inviting a few firebugs round for a bbq is a little different to providing a government funded skid pan for 1% of the population.

Mate, no ones a saint, we've all crept over the line, but at some point you have to take stock of where your place is in society.
The type of charachter who does this crap puts his own ego above the safety of everyone around him and does it for notoriety, he doesnt care for laws or education programs.

[TS50]

Firstly the fool needs to have his *** kicked into next year
But I agree with VZTRT that governments need to start focusing on training people how to drive and stop blaming everything on speed
Until they change their mentality we will keep seeing tools like this
And yes ACA and TT are crap programs, but hey, they wernt the ones driving like a lunatic on public roads

[Auturbo6]

A currant affair; A tv version of the woman's weekly. Average joe's winging about crap. Was probably set up, wonder how much the "hoons" were paid.

Ah well if it was a set up, then start reading the daily papers, and catch up on the amount of kids killed through recklessness.......seriously the most stupid comment I have read for a very long time......

[galaxy xr8]

We also need to get over this mentality that the goverment is to blame, it is all to do with the word "RESPECT" which these people have very little of.

[uranium_death]

If people weren't idiots, going out and hooning, then perhaps crap like TT and ACA wouldn't have ammunition...
