Lewis Hamilton caught hooning

[GoLfMan]

you know what is REALLY sad.

5 people died on VIC roads on the weekend (RIP). The one they televise, the one that was speed related!

What about the other 4 victims? What was the cause of their crashes? Of course everything is "speed related" its a dam motor vehicle! What about the fatigue/booze/poor road condition related ones?

I saw the shocking fatality crash on the news yesterday and there wasnt anything left of the car, the police judged it as the worst they have seen in their careers. That definately involved speed.
Still doesnt get though to so many people over there though. No good blaming the roads all the time either, you drive to the conditions and road.
Stupid driving for anyone, let alone a young inexperienced driver who think they know all.
I cannot believe that some here condone breaking simple road rules.

And traffic police are a different section to crime police who are the ones that care of thefts and crime...

The bottom line is this... Hoon laws are a farce and designed to do nothing but keep the cardigans of the world happy. For EVERYTHING you can get done for under anti-hoon legislation, there is ALREADY A LAW!!! Speeding, Dangerous Driving, Wreckless Driving (what Lewis did because it certainly wasn't dagerous).

I'm so over this nanny state country. Even the US Govt. is warning our Govt. not to implement internet filtering. I'm moving to Europe if this sort of nonsense keeps up in Australia! Australia is going to become the laughing stock of the modern world. Even Webber said he thought it was rediculous. Can't wait to see Jeremy Clarkson's take on it in the next TGUK series...

How about directing Police efforst into CRIME and VILOENCE PREVENTION? How about taking people off the roads who don't have enough skill to be there to start with? Govts. (any of them) have NO idea!

well put,..... we get low speed limits on highways and freeways ....the solution to everything is lower speed limits everywhere and more speed cameras, instead of decent driver education and highway patrol cars actually on the road doing something useful.

Great publicity for merc too.

Mercedes-Benz is fielding calls from buyers keen to buy the $150,000 car former F1 champ Lewis Hamilton used to do a burnout in last week.

A race of a different kind is taking place this week, with buyers now vying for the car that landed Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton in hot water with police.

It may have a little less rubber on its rear tyres, but the car the 2008 F1 world champion used for his much-publicised burnout before the start of the Australian Grand Prix could command a price premium.

Mercedes-Benz Australia senior manager of corporate communications David McCarthy was fielding calls from several customers keen to buy the car, which has a 6.2-litre V8 capable of launching the four-door to 100km/h in 4.7 seconds.

“More than half a dozen dealers have rung, which is in response to calls they’ve had (from customers),” said Mr McCarthy.
