I'm pretty sure that in NSW the wheels must be spinning for more than 3 seconds to be impounded.

Unfortunately your driveway that you pay for is still council!

I think its crap they can take your car without witness or evidence, just a phone call!

i got arrested in my yellow 300zx once. had to go to court and all. the cops said i spun the wheels and a loud screetch came from the car. i'v spun the whels before and it just slids with no screetcing. they were bullshitting.

i turned down a road and gave it a boot i admit, did a u turn and came back up to the lights. then 2 rough looking, unshaven men came running up yelling to get out of the car. thought someone was going to try to steal my car. so freaked a bit. when they open the door and swiched the ingition off and tried pulling me out i took off as i had turbo timer which kept the car going and the seatbelts on those cars bolt to the door, so the door didn't open cos i had belt on. hooked it out hard to the left running a red light. 200 meters down the road cops came from everywhere lol. guns out pointed at me oulled me from car and arrested me. can laugh now. but was pretty bad.

fleeing sceen of a crime
assulting a police officer (his watch got ripped off while his hand was inside turning ignition off as i took off)
running a red light
neg driving
resisting arrest

were among the crimes i committed.
i got off all as the cops didn't identify themselfs adn didn't follow prosegure.
there was abothe yellow 300 in my area identical to mine with white wheels and all. i'm thinking he did something for them to react like that and they got the wrong person . . lol

needless to say. thats why i dont have the 300 anymore lol. went and bought the baleno after that. the baleno is more illegal and faster and i haven't been pulled over once in 2 years lol. i averaged 14 points per year off my licence when i was younger. haven't had a fine in over 2 years :) this car is more sleeper. which i like. also why i like my sigma too. just a tidy looking nice car. just gotta work on the fast bit lol

i drifted into a tree, lost 3 points that was pretty epic.

a knob called the cops on me to that was in his V6 commodore.. pretty much doing the same thing, although he stopped and laughed and got on the phone, i lost my cool and got out and went off, he drove off come back 5 mins later and were still laughing i tried to spit in the window but failed lol.

then cops come they asked me what happened i was like errrrrrrr

they got me to admit to drifting and yer couldnt really say i wasnt since it was on dirt.. was like a semi circle.

Have a lot of respect for the coppers, & 'on a whole' these hoon law things seem to be working fairly well: You wouldn't believe the difference it has made around here :| rather astonishing really.

But... the fact that joe average can ring up, make a complaint & have the so called offender dealt with off that is well, questionable to say the least.

Hope it works out for you alright colta51.

Under SA's hoon laws, police usually place wheel clamps on your car for 7 days, leaving the car in your own backyard, or did they physically confiscate your car & take it away to a Police lock up ?

But i heard about a little trick to get out of the 2nd and third time rule. Apparently you can sell the car and then buy it back from someone and as long at the ownership changes hands the records are wiped clean. Would be an option if you have a really nice car that you have worked so long on and don't want to have it taken from you. Don't know if they have plugged that flaw in the system yet. Not that I'm condoning hooning at all but i almost got pinged for the anti-hooning laws in a dodgy 75 hilux. 2 years agoI was driving on a deserted rooftop car park and just dropping the clutch going round a couple of corners and stepping the back out. Real easy to do and on smooth concrete. They game me a full lecture and said they could take my car for 48 hours but i was really polite and they just ended up doing me for "willfully driving in a way which creates excessive noise." Ended up costing me $240 bucks though. The fine structure is a bit stupid as you got fined $225 for traveling 30km over the speed limit at that point in time.

i know everyone has a little fun with their cars. and if you dont, you are lying or dont belong on a CAR site haha. but i know there is no such thing as safe speeding or safe hooning, but there is a safER way of doing it. i mean. i'v whipped the back end out of most of my cars (including the suzuki {handbreak is awesome lol}) and when i do it, i make sure there are no cars, trees or anything that can go majorly wrong. and i'm very hesitant and lot more selective of where if i have passengers. i'v hit a gutter sideways twice. 1st time was a lesson and second time the road narrowed and i was unaware. but i wont make that mistake again.

i'm a better driver because of all the dangerous driving i'v done in the past. i'm more aware of how a car handles etc, but if i could go back i wouldn't have dont it.

all i'm saying is, be carefull when driving like an idiot and learn from your mistakes and make a possitive out of any nicks or acco's :)

Very Dangerous for the police (and public) the third time round.
A bit like when they said they would crush the car while the offender looked on.
Give some people an opportunity where they stand to gain more by attempting to get away, even if it endangers the police and other people, guess what, they'll put the pedal to the metal and to hell with the consequences.

Just my 2c worth.

Well said mate. I'm 32 this year and I've done my fair share of "hooning" round Adelaide. Hell, I still remember the old Bay carpark and used to hang at Freedom behind HJ's on West Terrace back in the day ( had my first GH Turbo defected there while parked !). I've made plenty of mistakes and the key is learning from them :). As soon as I get another quick car I'll have my fair share of fun, just only where me and the boyz can witness it :)

Authorities should never be allowed to forcefully acquire someone's property unless it was purchased unlawfully or under false pretenses.

the problem with confiscation is that it sets a precedent which goes completely against justice.
at this rate, soon we'll be hearing things like

"you walked on the grass, I'm gonna have to confiscate those shoes, sir!"

"you were smoking in a non-smoking area. hand over all your cigarettes please sir"

"you were using a phone while driving, hand it over....yep, the SIM card, too!"

at very worst, they should be able to sell your car at auction and provide you the auction details so you have an opportunity to either match the auction price as a "fine" or forfeit the car.

One thing you are forgetting is the Wankers that just call up because they do not like you or have nothing better to do you could lose your car because of people like this. The way things are going we may aswell go back to a Nazi regime and have the Gestapo walking around. Also they don't seem to take the cars of drunk drivers that kill a lot more people they seem to catch a hell of a lot more off them.

the question remains....if they take your license why do they need to take your car too?
driving without a license should carry a much heavier penalty. and they should forget this "we're taking your car" bullshit.
