Cool Hoon laws 1st anniversary

yep,

it's been one year folks since they introduced the new Hoons law, where a cop can confiscate your vehicle for been an unsafe driver.
According to the local newspaper the following stats are drawn over the year :

WHERE THEY LIVE?

Greater Bendigo.........50
Dandenong...............39
Hoppers crossing.......37
Mill Park...................36
Melton.....................36
Mildura.....................34


WHY CARS WERE SEIZED?

improper use................53.3%
Excessive speed...........42.5%
Drive while d'qualified.....2.4%
Conduct/engage race.....1%
careless driving.............0.2%
Past offense.................0.2%


HOON SPEEDS:

0-119......20.2%
120-129...16.1%
130-139...15.8%
140-149...13.7%
150-159....15.6%
200+........2.3%


quote from the Dandenong Leader Mon 6th July
"it is disappointing people continue to place the lives of others at risk on our roads, but the message is now clear: if you drive in a dangerous manner, you will be caught" State Police and Emergency Services Minister Bob Cameron said.

"Almost half of the cars seized were Holdens at 49.8% trailed by fords with 16%"

this brings memories of the Dandenong-Frankston road and the Noble park Maccas busts :

They should just set Sandown Park one night a fortnight.

what are your thoughts?
