Let’s hope so.

What happens to impounded cars? Would I be right in assuming that he’ll get it back after paying a small fine and getting a talking-to?

The car will be impounded for a certain amount of time then he will get it back so long as he pays the inpound fee. He will get a “talking to” in court and maybe a slap on the hand but thats about all. Cant expect the courts to uphold the good work by the police. Maybe after a couple more appearences in court he might get some jail time..

While i believe those who behave badly should receive tougher sentences than is currently the norm,
due to our limp wristed politicians and judiciary,there is a much more effective method to modify the behaviour of the the farktards ie. there has to be an increase in the perceived risk of apprehension and this can only happen with high visibility policing.Of course this requires a desire by the farktards in power to allocate additional funding to make it happen however as long as they’re not affected by the extreme behaviour of the other low life farktards nothing will ever change.

The police look like they’re starting to get serious with burnout and donut dudes. Good on them, to the max.

And as for this tool, I agree that he must be barely sentient.

Why are we all so keen to crush the car? Confiscate it, sell it and put funds twoards assisting victims of crimes.

Often the persons car is almost like one of their children to them, so the emotion of watching it be crushed would almost be worse than having a holiday at the hume hilton, and certainly worse than receiving a fine…

Selling the car out from under them doesn’t have quite the same emotional effect on such people…

Im not sure a few minutes schadenfreude gives the same return to the community as making use of siezed assets. In any case how would your revhead feel seing his pride and joy driving around with Salvation Army written all over it?

2) “Often” is relative. “Often” people act like dicks in cars because they don’t care about the car.

Disagree, if you have a car which can do a burnout on request, chances are that you at least like your car to a degree. That’s not to say it’ll be in the best mechanical condition. I’ve certainly met enough people who act like dicks in their car because they love their car and want to show off.

I’ve even been unlucky enough to be in the car with mates who owned cars (which they loved) when they decided to show off (which then meant I would never go in their car again).

For some reason, those people who didn’t have the same love of their cars, didn’t waste time doing things like burnouts. They where much more interested in simply getting from A to B.

3) You’re a sadist.

No, just someone who has no problems with people having fun in their cars in the appropriate places (eg western sydney dragway / wakefield park / summer nats / any of the other nats festivals that happen around the place), but have no time for someone who does it in the middle of suburbia, especially when they know they shouldn’t have been behind the wheel in the first place.

1) You’re assuming they will be present when the car is crushed – and can be forced to watch.
2) “Often” is relative. “Often” people act like dicks in cars because they don’t care about the car.
3) You’re a sadist.

Crushing a car is a waste of a car.

Or a lot of charities could use a ute.

and a lot of utes could use some charity… very much agree – why destroy something useful when someone else could use that utility [pun intended]
