If there's one thing I hate in life, it's those brainless idiots who drive around late at night street racing, dragging or doing 'burn outs'. It is almost always the work of young drivers, those primarily on p-plates (nineteen years and less). It is the stupidity of these select few that makes all others in their age class pay enormous insurance premiums. So don't complain to the insurance company that you're premiums are too high; complain to these idiots using our streets as a playground.

What I want to know is where these kids are working. Because they must be earning a huge amount of money to not care in the slightest that they are using up the rubber on their tyers or petrol in their tanks. I guess things are different now than when I was that age...

Time and time again the nightly news shows us accident scenes resulting in teenage or young adult deaths, caused by erratic or dangerous driving.

Now, the South Australian government is doing something about it.

New laws are being introduced to help put a stop to so-called 'hoon' driving.

Street drag racing, which incredibly up until now has only been a traffic offence is now being increased to a criminal offence.

Vehicle that have been confiscated under the new 'hoon' laws will now be immediately crushed under another ammendment to the law.

Since the government brought in the new hoon laws in 2005, 6150 vehicles have been impounded by the police.

Well done, Premier Mike Rann. Finally, you have something right. In my opinion, those who participate in street dragging, burn-outs or street racing are nothing but the most evil dregs of society that should be removed from the road at once. I am more than glad that the government are finally taking steps to do so.
