WTF is "hooning"?

It's when your significant other is just through urinating and you stick your tongue in their...appropriate parts...to get that fresh, salty taste.

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

Understanding != having heard the term before.

You just forced it.

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.

Quoting myself from 2002.

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.


Telling why I remember that particular post would turn into the longest and stupidest "cool story bro" entry ever stamped upon the internet. I don't remember much of what I say otherwise.

And if you're VERY lucky, they'll allow you to get out of the car FIRST.

Read up on this "hoon" crap. These are some of the most jackbooted, Nazi-like laws I have ever heard of. Seriously, do they not have the concept of due process at all in Australia? A cop thinks that you have been using a vehicle "antisocially" and you are out that car, or even worse, it is crushed. Usually, though, it seems that they profit by holding it for ransom. farking insane

Hoon offences include excessive speeding, drag racing or dangerous driving.

I agree. 20 years ago you'd have riots in the streets here if you proposed such a law. Now the nanny-staters have got the upper hand, backed by government anti-speeding propoganda that has convinced some people that idiotic laws like these are needed.

Farking revenue-hungry govt. It's a sad day when I'd rather be driving in the UK than here(*)

It's the difference between a culture where driving is viewed as everyone's right to self expression and autonomy in their own car that expresses their individuality and a culture that views the use of publicly funded and maintained roads as a privilege not to be taken lightly.

ZAZ: dj_bigbird

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.


WTF? "State law even allows seizures based on hearsay evidence." how is this even possible? "There is no appeal once the car is seized." Wow, anyone could accuse someone of being a hoon if they were so inclined, then sit back and laugh as someone's car is taken away.

Damn, I remember watching this cops show filmed in the 80s. They would set up a drug sting to bust people buying drugs. Guess what the cops were selling? Weed! That show pissed me off, some guy buying a little weed and the cops seize his car, ridicules.

As for repeat offenders, I can see seizing their car and giving the money to car crash victims, sounds like a good thing. There's a lot of people on the roads now who should not be driving and deserve to have their car taken away, let alone those who race or smoke the tires.

/Got a C&I ticket once for smoking the tires and getting the car sideways, paid a lawyer and it magically transformed into a defective vehicle ticket.

ZAZ : 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.

This. So you don't have a license to take away, and they'll destroy your car anyway if you stop... What motivation, exactly, do you have to stop for the bacon? I'ma guess "civic duty" doesn't top that list.

And for those without a clue, "Hoon" just means "ricer-boy", or for you Ozzy progenitors, something like "chav" (For those who know what all three mean, do the Brits have a word more specific than that in this case?)

I can see why it would be offensive. You'd have to be really pissed off to make the effort to expose just one butt cheek.

My response would be to have a few throwaway cars that I wouldn't care about being seized. Something like a crapped out Holden Cavalier or Ford Focus. Why Hoon with something nice?

They run ads like this one (new window with auto play sound)
Its a sad story about how a stupid kid was driving double the speed limit and then found out the car doesn't handle the same once its off the road and wrapped the car around a pole.

Of course what happens is the gray hairs see these commercials and decide they are too need to slow down even more so they end up causing even more road hazards. Every time they run a new set of these ads, the road density goes up and the fatality rate goes up too. Victoria is unique in the world for having a rapidly rising deaths per km driven yet they have one of the highest speed limit compliance rates in the world.
