Hard line on hoons

In light of recent events I would like to see us get serious when it comes to hoon driving. The way that some of them drive at the moment is not only reckless, it’s downright dangerous. Let’s face it, a car is a lethal weapon if it’s in the hands of an idiot. You share our roads with families and older people who have paid more into the infrastructure than you ever will. They don’t deserve to have to put up with the stink of your rubber or the squealing of your vehicle’s wheels and engine as you try to prove you’re something to the other children who join you in this type of behaviour. I will be lobbying for a change. If you drive your car like you don’t care about anyone else but yourself leaving your filthy tyre marks on our roads then the government should have the right to impound and destroy your car without further hesitation. I think there’s too much slack for hoons and that is why they do what they do. In my mind that’s the only way forward for this behaviour.
