What is described is the maximum penalty. Do you know how many murders there are where the guilty person receives less than the maximum penalty? In this case a hefty maximum penalty will have a cautionary effect, and there will be less hooning.

Police discretion, a court hearing, and judges discretion/verdict will almost certainly mean that if a car is to be crushed, it will be DESERVED. As has been pointed out, down here in Vic car crushing has been in place for years, yet there have been very few cases (half a dozen or less I believe). Don't panic, for any judge to deliver the maximum in this case it will be deserved.
