Learner 'did burnouts in police carpark'

February 04, 2008 10:41am
Article from: AAP

A LEARNER driver accused of doing burnouts in a Perth police station carpark has been charged.

Police at the Cannington station heard the squealing of tyres and went out to allegedly see the 24-year-old Maddington man spinning the wheels of his Ford Falcon in the station's front carpark at 12.30am (WDT) yesterday.

The man's car was seized for 48 hours under Western Australia's hoon legislation.

He was charged with reckless driving, driving contrary to a learner's permit and driving under the influence of alcohol, and will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Edit: Was it anyone here from our western state?

So he was charged with
"with reckless driving, driving contrary to a learner's permit and driving under the influence of alcohol"

They forgot to add driving without a brain.

Well, when the WA police officer got done for doing burnouts and had the vid posted all over the net, he got suspended from work for about a week. He still has his licence and went back on the job once the media frenzy died off...

I'm sure the L plater will be treated the same!

well he's sort of lucky he did it when he did, new legislation is coming in here soon so that first offence you lose your car for 7 days, second offence 1 month or something
