I have even heard of friends being threatened of being defected if they didnt move on parked at the beach here in Adelaide.. There are many grey areas in these anti hoon laws, some I have no problems with, like the basic trying to take care of the safety of our roads, some I dont like accelerating too fast at the polices descretion.. Seriously now.. Anyways, I can live with the you play you pay motto, but for accerating to 100 in say a reasonably quick take off-PROVIDING THE ROAD IS CLEAR AND IT IS SAFE TO DO SO- I dont see a problem with this..

Yeah too right mate, yeah sure okay, I've done things wrong, and done things I've regretted and learnt from that, but to be pulled over and have someone treat you as if you just spat in his face after beating him mother half to death and going over your car with a fine tooth comb for no reason other then that fact you have P plates doesn't give P platers (the main people who this is usually targetted at) a good impression of the Police force.
One night springs to mind, driving to the movies with a mate,
pulled over, after looking at my licence - "Eff-off back to Macquarie fields and be their problem, catch you here again tonight and we'll tow the car, Got it?"
So do forgive me if these Grey area's worry me slightly.
