Use "hot rodder" for "hoon" if you have trouble understanding other cultures, bubblemitter.

Hooning is revealing a single butt-cheek to another driver.

It's considered very offensive in Australia.

It's dressing up in a bee costume and overdosing on drugs.

So if I should ever be so unfortunate as to have to drive in Victoria under no circumstances should I stop for police. Ram the roadblock if need be.

the only Hoon I know of died of a drug overdose

Wow. Is this really that big a problem in Australia or are the cops just being a bunch of jackbooted thugs?

Considering they freak out and refuse to allow relatively mild video games for sale, I'm going with the latter. Fallout 3? Silent Hill? Left 4 Dead? C'mon.

The state of Victoria is covered with speed cameras set to trigger at 3-5 km/h over the speed limit. They will steal from little girls in the name of road discipline. The government hates drivers.

Holy crap. Reading one of the linked articles provided this wonderful nugget:

"I've spoken to police officers throughout the state and this is legislation that they are confident in using and enjoy using because of the immediate impact it has," Assistant Commissioner for Traffic Noel Ashby said.

Permanently seizing vehicles, without appeal, based on hearsay from a tip-line? I'd say it would have an immediate impact on car crime, much in the same way a cursory severed hand would have an immediate impact on shoplifting. I'm just not sure that's entirely called for though.

Don't hoon your cone alone.

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain, I didn't hoon today, but that's okay.

Isn't that the guy that did that bee song?

let me Wiki that for you:

In the state of Victoria, hoon-related offences include burnouts, doughnuts, drag racing, repeated driving while disqualified and high-level speeding were added to Section 84C of the Road Safety Act 1986 in July 2006. Victoria Police have impounded an average of ten cars a day under the laws[11], with over 5,000 vehicles confiscated and impounded two years after their introduction.[12]

Wow, crushing a car because it doesn't have ABS brakes and air bags? Aussie official would crap themselves if they saw some of the cars on the road in the US.

When did the Aussie turn into a bunch of sissies?
 
2010-07-28 06:24:22 PM
Hoon---hmmm. In my town we just call them, well, you know what we call them ;-(

What a Hoon is.

Why does everything in Australia have such a gay sounding name?

Nibbles?
Bikie gang?
Hooning?
Homoerotic anal rimjob?

greaser_77: What kind of name is Hoon, anyways?

Comanche Indian.

I'm not laughing at the death of a talented young musician who died way before his time. Yes, I know where I'm posting, so carry on...

There's nothing gay about a homoerotic rimjob. That's just what we call sitting on the edge of a chair.

Police already have the power to crush cars, but only in extreme cases.

Hulk Cop SMASH!!

Fer us ignerent 'mericans, hooning is 'doughnuts' or 'burnouts' or 'brodies'. Imagine a guy in the middle of the night in a Trans-Am in the Wal-Mart parking lot, and there you are.

If I raced in Australia I would glue on a fu manchu, my car would be painted with warhorses and bows and arrows and shiat and across the side on a war banner it would say "Attila the Hoon".

That's exactly how you get there. Booming car culture with a ton of well maintained yet mostly strait roads. Add in a nanny state reaction and you get anti-hooning laws. Think of the mother farking children man.

Dude, do you keep a diary of all your Fark entries, just in case you want to quote yourself? Because if you do, that's either the most awesome thing ever, or you're a giant dickhead.
