Default Hoon Law News Articles - Post & Discuss

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/stor...9-2761,00.html

Thought I would make a thread to post all the hoon articles we so often link to, save making a new thread every third day.

What gets me is the girl doing 51km over the limit on the freeway at 1am in the morning gets the Headline, but the bloke doing 196km in a 110km at 6:30pm on a friday arvo gets shoved into a paragraph at the end of the article...

My guess is the reporters trying to highlight women are hoons too..

On a side note, not sure if anyone has seen the SGIO (i think) ad that says women get cheaper insurance, because they are safer drivers. I would like to do a test.

Male 23 with WRX with 1 speeding fine worth 4 points = 'X' insurance premium with 'X' excess

Female 23 with WRX with 1 speeding fine worth 4 points = 'Y' insurance premium with 'Y' excess

Would be interesting to see how much cheaper it would be for the female driver? And if so, is that sexual descrimination?

51 over the limit on the freeway at anytime is just plain silly. Come on people you drive from 1 end to the other you will usualy go past 2 cameras.

Who gives a shit if it is SAFE or not it is just asking to loose your licence. Pick your time and place. Major arterial roads are poor odds places to open it up.

196. Lets be honest probably more than 50% of people on this forum have been there but FFS 6:30 on any afternoon is just asking to be done with the blunt end of an entire box of unbuttered pinapples.

Yer mate, well they are usually the only people stupid enough to go for a thrash on main roads. Then when these dickheads get caught doin 80 over the limit it gives ever other car enthusiast a bad name, which then leads to even harsher laws.

Thank you Nightrider


How many of our freedoms are we prepared to trade off for security?

How about younger drivers that get raped with their premiums getting some of that extorted money back when they grow out of the 17-25 high risk category without a single claim.

yeah that would be nice, the only thing that young drivers get is if they have not lost any demerits whilst on P plates they get their drivers licence free for 1 year!
