I dont think he was labelled as a hoon so much as has been charged with reckless driving 3 times since he has had his license (less than 2 years).

I think the deal is on your third reckless driving government gets your car.....

Sorry Brendon, I have to disagree...

Hooning is mentioned quite a bit and a lot of blurb is wasted on explaining the hoon laws once again.

The way I see it is he is not a "hoon" as the media portray (i.e. Fast and Furious stylez) but he has been caught driving without a licence and been done for reckless driving again.

That is what the article should be about and not padded out mentioning the evil hoons...

I agree with you. I dont think he was hooning persay i.e. dropping fully sick single peggers in his 6cyl ef falcon ute but this is the easiest way for the media to ramp it up.

His right foot is obviously a bit heavy and he thinks he can drive / speed. Judging by the show that his old man and him put on in court I would bet my left nut that he was an absolute wanker to the cops aswell. He needs to learn to only take on the fights that you can win.

Either way....lifetime driving ban is a good deterrant. Problem is that he is going to continue to drive anyways.

What do you think police should do if someone 'hoons 3 times', looses their car and licence and then they are caught later still driving... maybe caught multiple times doing it.

What do you think should happen? Jail time?

I mean, if a person graffities something i believe there's jail time now (max sentence). Much as tagging costs a lot to remove and looks crap, they're not hurting/endangering anyone. So surely a person who constanty flouts the law and endngers people by continuing to drive after it has been determined that they are not safe to do so (they've lost their licence for a reason) should be behind bars for a bit to sober them up.

Anyone agree or what do you think?

I think for a lot of crimes we need mandatory prison sentences. You do it once, slap on the wrist, second time you spend some time behind bars. Not 4, 5, 6 chances. People don't learn that way. But we need some serious prison reform. The prison system at the moment does not work. I think the USA can attest to that.

I said this on page one.

With a tag system they know exactly where he has been and at what times. He also would not be allowed to leave set areas. If he covers serious distance in a short time they will know he has been driving unless he can prove otherwise.

I dont think prison does this type of person any favours. He is only 19 so he CAN turn his life around but with prison time in his life employment becomes much harder and he starts on a slippery slope.

We would all love nothing more than to see him given a proper clip round the earhole by the police and put in prison with people much bigger and tougher than him but the reality is that he will just become disillusioned with 'the system' and will just learn to be like the people he is in there with. On top of that if he behaves he would be out in a couple of months and would leave with the attitude that its all to easy in there.

He would also be a massive drain on the taxpayer in there so at least if he is out in the community keeping the place clean and tidy he is paying his way.

Lol, did anyone see the cops new Belgian Shepard on the front of the paper this week?
The caption said roughly "meet Argus, trained in fighting burglars, HOON DRIVERS and rapists or something of the like"

Dead set, not a word of lie. The paper said the dog was to catch hoons.

"woof woof bark"
"whats that boy? Someone chirped second?!"
