To use the hoon hotline, phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

A hoon hotline!! How awesome is that!?!? I wish they had a hoon hotline for the Petaluma, CA Police, they have new Dodge Charger cop cars. They need to be put to good use and police the hoonage of the northbay.

Since we don't even believe in turn signals, can't see this ever happenin' in the Dirty South mate! LOL

"Hey! I think you just drove past the restaurant..."

"No worries, mate. I'll just do hook turn here."

You couldn't make this sh!t up. Do you dial 911? Gawd, its great to be alive and livin' in Dixie!

The logic behind them (at least, here in Melbourne) is to stop traffic queuing across tramlines at some of the busier intersections in the CBD.

]]> <![CDATA[Hoon Capital! Bendigo!]]> It is truly a death defying experience to try cross the road in Bendigo. I'm pretty sure that's where the earlier falcon ute blokesworld ad documentry/advertisment was filmed. bored rural youth + copious amounts of V8's with jim beam stickers (never understood the need to advertise drink and driving meself) = streets paved in snakes of rubber.

Ass-backwards street planning, if you ask me.

(U.S. Residents, ask an Aussie what a hook turn is, you probably won't believe them.)

]]> <![CDATA[Hoon Capital! Bendigo!]]> Yeah, look at that crazy building, sittin' there, being all grey and brown, hooning it up. And that tree, all like, "Up yours window, I'ma grow royt 'ere! Oi!" Crazy mf streetlamp, too.
