Hoon is an Australian and New Zealand colloquial term applied to individuals who typically drive fast and dangerously. The term is also used as a verb: “to hoon” or “to hoon around”, meaning to act in a reckless or otherwise less than sensible manner.

A number of Australian states have introduced anti-hoon laws. In Victoria the Police may impound vehicles:

First time offenders can have their vehicle impounded or immobilised for 48 hours. Second time offenders risk three months without wheels. Third time offenders may lose their vehicle forever.

Hence my undisguised glee at this idiot’s “misfortune”—straight to losing his car forever, due to his own irresponsibility.
