Hoon Laws Doco- Have your say!
-
Hi all,
I'm a documentary filmmaker from Perth, Western Australia, doing some research for a film about hoon laws.
Basically this is a chance to give your point of view on hoon laws. Are they good? Bad? Don't effect you? Have changed your life?
I'm looking for people that might
1) Consider themselves hoons
2) Have been labelled (fairly or unfairly) as a hoon
3) Feel they have been targeted (fairly or unfairly) as the result of hoon laws.
4) Are passionate about their cars!!!
If you have an interesting, funny, terrible story I'd like to hear it. If you love your car, and want to talk about it, even better! I'd love to see pictures of cars, descriptions of what you've done for them and with them, and what they mean to you.
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people in Kalgoorlie, WA, or can talk about that area, as hoon laws are quite new there.
At this stage it's just an idea and hopefully will become a program aired on national and possibly international TV. It will be shaped by the people who participate in it.
As for me... I grew up in an area where people loved their cars and would devote themselves completely to working on them, so when I heard about these laws I wondered how it could impact on peoples' lives.
I'll keep an eye on this forum to see if there are any responses.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Bridget, What in the hell is a "hoon"?

Hello There! Well my view on hoons is there is a time and a place for everything we do in our cars. I can remember doing some silly things in my Ford as a young bloke and not thinking to much about it, but now I look upon the laws as a good idea. I mean these young blokes that have just got there cars up and running and want to let off a bit of steam and maybe a burnout or two, well go for it, but do it where there is less chance of getting sprung. The back of some old factories on a Sunday arvo with a video recorder is always cool.( I didn't say that !!). I work in a shopping centre south of Perth and there is nothing worse than the sound of a 4 cyl with a 3' muffler doing laps, and never getting the car out of second gear. At least it could be a V8!
Anyway my point is if you push the limits then you will get done. You also just have to look at the road toll and look at how many of these crashes are young people. So all for the hoon laws. It's not just the hoons being killed in these bad accidents, it's the innocent people even kids. So all you HOONS slow down and think of others..... Thanks Cruiser !!!
