Plenty of events all year run by our own Clubs and others at any number of venues and get rid of the need to be a screwup on the street!!
AS FOR THIS........"you or one of youre kids happen to get caught for a bit of spirited driving on a lonely country road".....YOU'LL BE DOING IT IN ONE OF THE AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST INCIDENCE INVOLVING SINGLE VEHICLE FATALITIES!!!!
But to date the screwups don't learn and keep damaging and destroying life and property!!!!
And until you are PERSONALLY..... "TOUCHED BY THE ROAD TOLL" ....you'll feel aggrieved by the laws imposed!!!!

The point about the lonely country road is youre not endangering anyone else but yourself and your vehicle. You take the risk.
Im not condoning hooning, im talking about a new harsh law here, when there is already strong laws in place.
Dont tell me, with all your high performance cars, that you have NEVER got a bit excited with your right foot on a public road somewhere, sometime in your driving history.
The new laws wont bother you, you dont live in queensland.
My family has been'' TOUCHED BY THE ROAD TOLL'' my brother in law was killed by a drunk driver, on a valentines day, so dont try and pull that one on

You ARE condoning the country hoon as long as you and your son don't get caught.!!!!!!
YES..sure I've got a little excited over the years but I've also learnt and changed my driving as well in line with the laws in our NANNY STATE!!!...1 fine in 26 yrs and that was for 4 k over going past a speed camera!!!
These laws are being applied because Mr 200SX or Mr VL Turbo continue to flaunt the laws regardless of the police presence and the regular fatalities caused by them and others!!
Your correct your new laws won't bother me ,yeah they're harsh but the 99.9% MAJORITY of drivers won't ever be concerned about its harshness they in fact will support it...and they won't bother you if you don't f@ck up!!!
As for the "TOUCHED BY THE ROAD TOLL" card ,I'll play that card every time to get the point across......I'll trump you I lost a BROTHER to a f@rked up drunk who T-BONED his car speeding through and running a red light!!

My issue is not with the condoning of public indecency but the severe punishment when compared to the some alternative forms of indecency.
I dare say more innocent are killed, property damaged etc... by drunk drivers than those irritatingly squeaking their wheels in at a traffic light.
I feel it more inconsiderate and dangerous to my fellow man to operate a vehicle while even slightly intoxicated than to spin the wheels at the traffic lights for instance, even if out the front of my joint in the dead of the night.
Surly, crushing of cars should apply to anyone drink driving or drug driving way ahead of anyone spinning their wheels.

Unfortunately there's a bunch of teenagers in these cars not just the driver who's showing off, not to mention other road users, so that argument is spurious
Dimis....can't argue with your PCA opinion though

Well mate my apologies as it was not meant to demean your families loss and am sorry if it was put across that way by my comment!!...I'm just rather out spoken on this in particular subject!!!...sure you can understand!!!
I get the argument... but there is no excuse for the Hoon element!! ...the pollies will always play the popular vote card!!
There is and always will be a disparity in the penalties and there application , It comes down to what we see feel is more important in each of our own values!!!
...I am from Trinity Beach...'So don't you worry about that now!!!"..
