Locals Beg Police to Stop Bridal Burnouts

[XRtowcar]

In all seriousness though.
Has anyone got an answer to plain stupidity?
Blown tyre might have sent this guy through someones front yard.
Car driving is a responsibility to act in a way that dosen't endanger others.
If you wish to perform illegal and dangerous maneuvers, get it off the road and in a controlled area such as a race circuit where you'll only hurt yourself, not some innocent bystander.

Same.
That's what made me think they were doing it to just annoy someone.

Whatever way you look at it, hooning should not be acceptable in any form in residential areas. Sure, dropping a skid or two can be really fun, but there are certain places where this sort of behaviour should never leave.

One kid dropping a skid might be encouraged by John his mate to do more dangerous things, and boom, you get people doing mini-races in no time. And people get killed.

I don't remember writing that burnouts are acceptable anywhere ? Feel free to find that entry and quote it...

Pointing out that 'burnouts' are often wrongly accused because they fall into the same banner as 'hooning' 'drifting' 'powerskids' and 'speeding'...

To be fair - nobody should break ANY road rules... be it speeding, not stopping at a stop sign, drink driving, etc... the rules are there because you have a WAY higher likelihood of surviving on our roads if you follow them... and a WAY higher likelihood of accident/injury/death if you don't...

Let common sense provail?

Burnouts are cool.

For me, the issue of whether a burn-out as such is a danger to others is only half the argument. I couldn't give a stuff whether the clown in the vid had his car tied down with inch thick wire cables......the fact of the matter is that a residential street isn't the place to subject your neighbours to that sort of excessive noise, smoke and disturbance.

Black tyre marks halfway up a street in full view of everyone's front window is little different to graffiti, just on a horizontal surface rather than a vertical one. Its just vandalism and anti-social behaviour born from an arrogant, couldnt-give-a-stuff attitude to others. Furthermore, its an absolute gift to the anti car-club crusaders who use this footage to lump every car-loving AFF member into the same bucket as those mindless cretins in the vid.

Spot on Brent, its about respect for the other residents.
The Mansfeild cops need posting to Taylors Hill.

(what you say is true though, less time worrying about what others do and more time on how you can make a difference)

Absolute gold.

An old German guy that I grew up near had his own idea of fun. Some punks thought burnouts and nailing it up his street was their birth right. He thought throwing a matic through their windscreen was his. Pretty fair I though.

Good burnout! 7 out of 10...

You have my vote.......

From the herald Sun:

CHANGES to hoon laws are being considered after police failed to seize a car filmed doing a wedding day burnout.

A day after the Herald Sun revealed police had run out of time to impound the hoon's hotted-up Holdens, the State Government said it would look at changing the 10-day time limit.

The move comes after the Taylors Hill hoon filmed by a resident, Gina, shifted out under the cover of darkness.

The street rods were towed from the house's garage just before midnight Wednesday.

"A tray truck came down and he put the red one on it and then he came back and got the other one after that," the resident said.

"He's not been home (since)."

So the government will clamp down harder, until they start banning all modified cars.
And they'll have the support of the public majority who don't condone the behaviour of a handful of idiots.
Consider yourslef warned if anyone wishes to behave like this in the future.
One man has managed to get a review of hoon laws all by himself.

And bingo we have a winner.. this is exactly the sort of excuse the government needs to review things. Because a pair of idiots have been out annoying their neighbours.... well done, big thumbs up.

If hooning and burnouts on her street were such a problem, why was there only the fresh marks from the wedding day? She is just as much a pest in the street as those who make a bit of noise or have hot cars. I hate vigilante pests who are on the phone to the police at the slightest noise. It is no wonder the police ignore her

Yeah id say shes a bit of a nutter, she was banging on tele about how it happens all day every day yet when the cameras were on the street you could only see one set of marks

And as for some comments on here if im a bogan because we ripped skids at my wedding im comfortable with that.

no it wont.... but again does it REALLY NEED TO BE EXPLAINED?

Its a residential area.... if you act like a complete ****** infront of your neighbours then you deserve all you get.

Ive seen a car lurch into a telegraph pole after a stupid burnout act, the car looked like it suddenly grabed traction and speared sideways into the pole severly injuring the driver. He wasnt travelling very fast when it grabed and he lost control either so yes it is very possible for a burnout to end badly.

Only if you are a complete moron.
