I don't see how you can get away from the "reasonably believes"' aspect. At the end of the day any action in respect of hooning is going to be a subjective decision, and it's pretty obvious the copper on the scene is going to have to make that decision.

It's not as though the Act can include a list of proscribed events (eg spinning tyres for 0.75 seconds, or 1.5 metres, or accelarating at a certain rate. Its pretty obvious if someone is driving like a pr1ck, and if they get done I have no sympathy whatsoever for them.
