$500 penalty for one, $60,000 for another.
Why don’t we crush houses where a pill press is found because clearly the offence was committed in that abode. MORONS.

I still favour permanent confiscation and sale to go to funding for road trauma victims.

Brumby / Balieu etc dont get it. They are applying their educated middle class standards, to a young and dumb problem.
i had an encounter a dumb a$$ radio fitter at work one day about a year ago. Him and his mates had got onto the impound car program and came up with solution to the impounded car / unroadworthy sticker problem.. The buy $500 bombs and do burnouts with them and if they get caught they just abandon them. At no point does it cross their small minds to do the right thing. Crushing cars will make headlines but will not solve the problem.

Out of interest is there any time limit between offences? What if the third offence is 2o years after the first?

You deserve to have your car crushed if you've received 2 fines and warnings it will happen. In the past week, we have seen what irresponsible drivers can do. Drunk, P-Plater with 5 passengers, speeding, killing himself and 4 others. That bloke was a hoon, and where did it get him. 6 feet under.
Time to get tough. And if it means crushing their car. Then they have no-one else to blame but themselves. Demerit point loss or fines are not enough to stop these clowns from reoffending. Jail time should also be part of the deal. |

You'd think people would think about the consequences of there actions, but some people just don't want to hear about it and don't care. Car crushing in my opinion is only one step forward in the right direction to stopping "hoon" driving. If drivers get to the point where there car is in line to be crushed, they shouldn't have there licence. |

Whats the point of crushing some idiot's car when he can go out buy another one and do the same? Also, the problem should be looked at from a addicion point of view, just as drugs or alcohol.

I say they strip the cars and donate the parts to schools, at my school we have a big auto room with car hoists and lots of engines people have donated to the school for the kids to take apart and build again, the school bought 2 new Alloytech engines too.

The time limit is 6 years from the first offense - 2 more offense in that time and your a candidate.
Also, the car has to be owned outright (no monies owing) and it has to be your car you are caught in. For the first offense, The car is impoundend for 3 months and fines. The 3rd offense is at the Judges discretion as to whether the car is crushed or not. They said out of all the cars that have been confiscated so far (thousands) less than 100 would be a candidate for crushing. Not really a deterant if you ask me but the rules are becoming a bit more fairer. Im all for crushing/or selling dipshts cars if they deserve it and cant act responsibly on the road but again, once you read the fine print, it isnt really going to solve anything. |

I think this was an expected move from Brumby, it's been getting very heavy media attention lately. Personally, I don't think this will stop future events similar to last weekend, People like that are just too dumb.

I don't mind them crushing cars but as I said above, maybe they could be used to help people in schools learn some car knowledge by donating them to schools all around Victoria. Use them as drivers ed for the kids to get behind the wheel. Corolla or GTR.

Hopefully you Vic's will have drink drivers classified as 'hoons' as well. After all, the 19yo that died had a BAC of 0.19......I believe there is a strong argument for it. I wish we had drink drivers classified as 'hoons' in WA. I've no tollerance for ****y drivers.
