qld hoon laws
I just heard Queensland is trying to have new Hooning laws passed. The aim is to able to CRUSH a hoons car after Two offences.
this Hoon law is applicable to anyone regardless if its a lowered dunnydore or a lifted 4wd.
This is going way too far as far as i,m concerned.

This is realistically tyranny, 150 years ago the US fought a war over unrealistic and power hungry authorities, maybe we should all catch on...

I thought I heard on the news on the way home this was already in force? Will have to check now.
From the Herald Sun:
State Cabinet has approved the "toughest anti-hooning laws in Australia" which will be introduced to Parliament in coming weeks.

Super,
When was the last time you did a hoon offence? I struggle to have much sympathy for anyone who not once but twice in 3 years is caught committing a prescribed offence......this law does not apply to me or the 99.9% of people who do not commit a prescribed offence. Note that a prescribed hooning offence must involve a speed trial between vehicle (street race or time trial) or burnout. Prescribed hooning offences do not relate to lifted 4wd unless you perform a burnout or a street race or time trial on a road.
Please note that the newly passed vehicle modification ncop's in qld provide certainty as to what is permitted when it comes to vehicle modifications. I welcome the clarity and am happy to comply. After April 2013 I will be driving a vehicle with approved mods compliant with the legislation. If you modify a vehicle illegally, which will mean in excess of what is allowed in the ncop's then you run the risk of committing a prescribed offence under the repeat offender legislation in driving an illegally modified vehicle. However illegally modified vehicle offences dealt with under the repeat offender legislation is the least recorded of any of the repeat offender offences.
There has always been a tougher stance on hooning as distinct from any of the offences under the repeat offender legislation. Repeat offender legislation in qld includes unlicensed/disqualified driving, unregistered/uninsured (CTP), high range drink driving, illegally modified vehicles.
Where exactly did you think that leniency should be shown in any of the above?

Dont think he asked for leniency, think he was trying to say that we are all tarred with the same brush.

Do you really feel crushing a mans car is a way to fix hooning?
I welcome clarity when it comes to this but laws are open to interpretation and having it there is Extreme IMHO.
And for Clarity i have had one speeding ticket in 31 years of driving and I wasnt in the car at the time.
Flash for cash. Thats my only driving infraction.
