WA hoon laws are impressive!

So this is a bit of a whinge, but i got my first taste of the western australian hoon laws toady. So in july i drove my super bug over here from Qld. It has a mild 1915 with a fat boy exhaust and sounds pretty good if i do say so. Today i was in the driving mood and went to the shops and i was putting my foot into it in first and second. On my way home i took off from a set of lights normally but to change into second i gave it a good boot to see if i could loose any traction and then slowed and turned into my driveway. As i turned in i thought there was some drug raid near my house because i heard a sirens and screeching tyres behind me but to my oh sh@#t kind of sigh it was the HIGHWAY PATROL. They went all over, under, on top of and inside my car. This did worry me, not the first time it has happened to me but you pretty much know when they do that, that they want to give you some kind of "infringement". I had Qld plates on, i didn t have my rego sticker on and i haven t changed my Qld license over yet. But they did yellow sticker the car because of oil leaks, noise and no passenger mirror. When i told them that rego runs out in 20 days and have to go over the pits anyway and asked them to have grace, they told me no and that they could tow my car if they wanted! I asked them how i was supposed to know of WA'S hoon laws and he said that because you are driving on WA roads you are meant to know everything about the laws. Wow. But there was more conversing but all in all, i could of come off much worse and yes i was being a mild hoon but definitely nothing dangerous or public nuisancish. If only motor sport wasn t so expensive.

puncy f@#$%n law makers.
these guys aren't born with common sense, .............are they..........................get REAL

what is this country coming to.
cant teach the kid to drive a vehicle on the farm then HEY

I think the difference is between being RESPONSIBLE and NOT being RESPONSIBLE....a dickhead doing burnouts (where they're not allowed to) is hardly being responsible....

least of all these problems are burnouts, i must say speed and nuisance drivers that are the issue here and really defective cars that are not at all road worthy.

And a LOT of "hoons" do all these things in defective cars😁 I drive at least 2000Km a week and see hotted up cars getting defected for trivial things while driving responsibly and "hoons" causing a majority of problems for the rest of us by drawing attention for the wrong reasons and tarring everyone else with the same brush...it all comes back to responsibility (and not getting caught)👍
