SA only please - 11 question hoon driving survey for my huge year 12 assignment

[Hillzy888]

Hey guys/girls I've been on the forums for a while but haven't really introduced myself. My name's Andrew/Andy/Hillzy, I'm in year 12 and one of my subjects this year is Stuies of Society. We have this massive report to do which is worth 30% of the year's mark (I'm sure you've all been there) and I need a little help.

I am investigating the effects of Mallala track days, drift practice and AIR off-streets (preying they come back) and whether they reduce the amount of incidents of hoon driving or not. You can help me by filling out the following hoon driving survey. The results will basically tell me the attitiude that the general public has towards hoon driving etc. If you do not wish to post up your answers please feel free to PM me.

Due to size limits this report is limited to hoon driving in South Australia and therefore only require SA data.

I thank you in advance for completing the survey and assure you everything will be made annonomous. I'll even post up my report once I'm done!

Either copy, paste and post with your answers (For questions asking you to circle just put the answer in bold) or simply post your answers alone with the accompanying question numbers.

Don't worry, the data won't be biased as previously suggested, not only am I posting this on my two favorite car forums but I'm also asking random people off the street.

Any further questions please ask.

1. Do you personally know anyone (this incudes yourself) that performs driving manoeuvres that would be considered hoon driving?
My mother thinks i drive like a hoon because i prefer to change lanes in order to keep my speed up in high speed areas whereas she thinks semis should stay as far left as possible.

2. Which age group and sex do you believe commit the most hoon driving offences?

I've noticed that blokes tend to think they won't lose their license or be picked on because most may be off their P plates by now. Also, by this time they can most likely afford these more powerful cars.
It seems to me that girls, when they first get their P's, they drive a little too quickly, a little too soon. foot flat etc..

Especially after days at Mallala. The amount of stupid driving i see is unbelievable. I don't spend much time in Brisbane but when i am there, i don't see much hoon behaviour at all. i believe that is all thanks to their drag meets every friday night at Willowbank which doesn't cost a fortune and everyone can go there and participate. I don't think we have anything over here thats not overly expensive.

4. What area of Adelaide do you believe is the most affected by hoon driving/street racing?

BL00DY OATH! But that would be fun then. The authorities wouldn't allow that.

7.Do you believe the new hoon legislation introduced by the Rann government is effective in reducing hoon behaviour?

6. Do you believe if Adelaide International Raceway were to hold legal off-street drag racing this would prove to be a safe outlet for hoons to ‘vent’ and therefore reduce the occurrences of hoon behaviour on the street?
[B]Yes i do, esp if anyone can enter and it didnt cost much to enter...but on the other hand it could encourage some "idiots" to when they leave continue their drag racing, which would be a good idea to have swarms of police around to take away their toy cars [/B]


7.Do you believe the new hoon legislation introduced by the Rann government is effective in reducing hoon behaviour?
Hmmm theres alot i can say about this particular question...
I believe that a simple resolution where you do something wrong you lose your car until your court date is doing a world of good. But there is also room for these laws to be abused by the police, I also believe that they have taken some of these rules a bit too far beyond logic and reason.
They needed to re-think some of their strategies, yes a drunk driver who gets caught loses his license instantly but he keeps his car and could drive whilst suspended and possibly kill someone, i think that if the "hoon" laws are really about getting ppl who misuse the roads and who drive dangerously should lose their cars also.
I believe that revving your car or having your music loud is not a hooning offence...It is a distraction same as your mobile phone and your friends.
I can deal with loud music and my friends rambling on or yelling, i keep my concerntration on the road and what i need to be doing and its great that i can do that, because i know out there most times some ppl cant.
"hooning" is a suggestion that someone is doing burnouts or dragging someone or speeding, i find that "hooning" is a word most relevant to speeding than any other thing...I've seen drag races and speeding more than burnouts & drifties...I know the "hoon" laws are meant for everyone but more than often its targeted at young ppl, take the nsw new hoon add for instance the one about the pinkie? even thou in the end it was about mainly speeding, what age group did they show in it? on a basis from 16-25 thats the age group they shown...Its another way of targeting the young drivers and to brain wash the public into everytime they see one of us doing 65 or 70 that we are hoons and we should be banished off the roads for good.
My dad is 40 and when he feels it which isnt often he will do handbreakies and stuff just to scare my mother...All age groups like to participate so the governments should show an add concerning all age groups not just the one that does like 5% more often than any1 else...Its all about target practice.

[ ] Ban turbo, V8 and ‘high performance’ cars for drivers’ under the age of 20
[X] Mandatory ‘safe driving’ course for repeat offenders
[X] Further ‘safe driving’ education at high school level
[ ] Other; Mandatory Safe driving course for all new L platers aswell as defensive driving & dealing with road rage...Also put them all in situations where they are forced to deal with loud music and friends yelling, let them do that and they will learn how to cope with different situations, I believe that was the best thing i ever did it forced me to deal with having to concerntrate on more things at once and to be aware of everything that is going on around you. Also force them to drive in the city @ peak hour!...I forced myself to do that also i learnt alot from that one days drive....& i benefitted from it.

9. What effect do track days and drift practice have on your attitude towards driving on the street? (If you do not attend these events leave blank)


10. What are some of the new ‘tougher’ penalties introduced with the anti-hoon laws?
The sale of your car, are the police trying to become these idiots parents?
The fact that nearly anything can be related to the "hoons" laws now so all the police need do is to simply say u were hooning instead and bam seeya later car.
Court Dates, everyone knows the courts are more lienient to ppl than the police are, basically its over-crowding the court system and wasting their time, they should just have a few judges from each state who just deal with "hoon" activities.



11. What can be done in the future to reduce the amount of hoon behaviour?

If your a p plater and you get done speeding twice you lose your car or you get restrictions on your license...that are limited to only you. Kinda like a smack on the bottom for repeat offenders, none of this blame everyone crap!
Make it fair!
Also Driver ED in schools.

Maybe not at the start, but when more people start losing their cars it will increase its effectiveness.

Default SA only please - 11 question hoon driving survey for my huge year 12 assignment
Hey guys/girls I've been on the forums for a while but haven't really introduced myself. My name's Andrew/Andy/Hillzy, I'm in year 12 and one of my subjects this year is Stuies of Society. We have this massive report to do which is worth 30% of the year's mark (I'm sure you've all been there) and I need a little help.

I am investigating the effects of Mallala track days, drift practice and AIR off-streets (preying they come back) and whether they reduce the amount of incidents of hoon driving or not. You can help me by filling out the following hoon driving survey. The results will basically tell me the attitiude that the general public has towards hoon driving etc. If you do not wish to post up your answers please feel free to PM me.

Due to size limits this report is limited to hoon driving in South Australia and therefore only require SA data.

I thank you in advance for completing the survey and assure you everything will be made annonomous. I'll even post up my report once I'm done!

Either copy, paste and post with your answers (For questions asking you to circle just put the answer in bold) or simply post your answers alone with the accompanying question numbers.

Don't worry, the data won't be biased as previously suggested, not only am I posting this on my two favorite car forums but I'm also asking random people off the street.

Any further questions please ask.

Not so much hoons as if someone is a hoon in the true sense I dont think rules law authority is really on there mind. But a controled enviroment such as AIR has to be a good thing IMO.

No it will make no difference. There are drag strips all over Australia and those cities still have hoon problems.

I think the first two options can make a difference. Banning high performance cars is not viable. Plenty of people hoon in VN Commodres and we all know they are not high performance. -)

10. What are some of the new ‘tougher’ penalties introduced with the anti-hoon laws?

Confiscation of vehicle

Not much. It will always happen
