    what I don't understand is


    why the car was impounded in the first place. Is that something that gets done routinely in AUS, or was this particular one really dangerous?<br />

    Most of the Australian states have some kind

    of Hoon law now after a number of serious crashes where "hoons" have collided with innocent road users causing death.

    <b>Hoon laws</b>
    Release date: Tue 29 July 2008

    Police have impounded an average of 10 cars a day since hoon laws were introduced by the Victorian State Government in June 2006.

    Hoon related offences include burnouts, doughnuts, drag racing, repeated driving while disqualified and high-level speeding. Offences are detailed in section 84C of the Road Safety Act 1986.

    First time offenders can have their vehicle impounded or immobilised for 48 hours. Second time offenders risk having their vehicle impounded for three months and third time offenders may lose their vehicle forever.


    Hoon Hotline

    If there is some fast hoon…in your neighbourhood…who you going to call...? Hoon Hotline.

    You can ‘dob in a hoon’ by phoning the Crime Stoppers Hoon Hotline on 1800 333 000. Information collected through the hotline enables Victoria Police to gather intelligence to target repeat hoon offenders or focus on particular areas.

    Hoon statistics
    Types of offences committed:-

    Careless driving: 3 per cent

    Conduct, engage in race, speed trial: 0.9 per cent

    Court order, past offence: 0.5 per cent

    Drive while disqualified: 5 per cent

    Excessive speed: 39.3 per cent

    Failure to have proper control: O.7 per cent

    Improper use of motor vehicle: 48.4 per cent

    Speed or drive in a dangerous manner: 1.3 per cent

    Smoke or undue noise: 0.3 per cent

    These are pretty funny too . . .

    The following 15 Police Comments were taken off of actual police
    car videos around the country. Watch the last one, it's a low blow!
    Ed.

    #15 "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll
    stretch out after you wear them awhile."

    #14 "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

    #13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

    #12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? In case you
    didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun."

    #11 "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means
    I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

    #10 "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't
    think it will help. Oh .. did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

    #9 "Warning!?, You want a warning!? O. K, I'm warning you not to do
    that again or I'll give you another ticket."

    #8 "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are
    drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

    #7 "Fair?, You want me to be fair?, Listen, fair is a place where
    you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and step in monkey DOO."

    #6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a
    toaster oven.

    #5 "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

    #4 "Just how big were those two beers?"

    #3 "No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but
    now we are allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

    #2 "I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend
    of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

    And.................... THE BEST ONE !!!!!!!

    #1 "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we
    don't!.... Sign here. (That was harsh)

    I can understand some of it, but damn, I would

    I am for the impounding of repeat drunk drivers and street racing, but loud cars and a burnout? What determines a car as to loud?

    Gulliver's travels? Cool etymology!

    I would have guessed it was a contraction of "hooligan" and "loon", but now I know the truth :-)
