Hoons introduce the road rules in Australia
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 26/10/2009 - 9:36amThe hoon practices include speeding, heavy acceleration, no regard to cyclists or safety on the road, no common sense, no regard to an environment, no responsibility but imposing danger and chaos. The newly proposed road rules as attached at the bottom of this site and marked, show all those qualities.
