Heard on the radio this morning, that the new legislation passed parliament. Short stuff I understood is that a second SERIOUS hooning offense is the same penalty as an open driver drink driving 3x over the legal limit.
“see offenders have their cars impounded for three months for their first serious hooning offence”, while a second offence within five years “would see the offenders car forfeited to be sold or crushed”.
I'm sure a serious hooning offense is such as 30+ over the limit, skids, drifting etc
^ also those cars sold or crushed, the owners get no compensation for the vehicle UNLESS the penalty was found false after the car has already been crushed or sold, than the owner will GET compensation.
Illegal modifications or defects to the car will also get your car impounded.
But there is a loop hole for those that don't trust themselves, if the car isn't registered in your name, the car cannot be touched by police. However they seem to promise that if you're not driving like a twat and obiding the road rules you will not get pulled over, what a load of shit.
Ill see if I can find the full article an post the link.
