If that is how you get your jollies, I’d suggest you have some self esteem issues that need sorting out 🙂

While I was an Ambulance Officer, the fastest I ever traveled was 160km/h on an empty rural highway whilst under Police escort. Without a police escort 30-40km/h over the limit was the max I’d ever travel under lights and siren.

With the NSW RFS that fastest I have been is about the speed limit. Our trucks are slow. 🙁

So having falsely accused someone else, is Chong his real name?

maria.tran85 – another uninformed, negative opinion on Canberra ..

don’t come down on the weekend. I get pretty fed up with big smoke types coming down and slamming everything about Canberra just because it’s not Sydney — which happens to be what many people like about it.

Yes Skid and heard it on the ABC news radio at midnight, which goes national.

Good old Chong…

Maria, I think the title of your article suggests there is some racial motive behind his treatment on RiotACT. Specifically the work “Gook” suggests this. I think you’d find if he would have gotten the same treatment whether he was white, black, purple, green, beige, red or any other colour. So there is no reason to pull out the racist card.

This “Chong” fella was just so stupid and brazen enough to upload a video featuring his number plate.

“Chong” should take some advice from Tex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9wTT-2v0nE

Chong has hit the national ABC news at midnight.

Superintendent Mark Colbran said “The adjectives fail me as to why people would want to do this. Why they do it in the first place, why they would film it and why they would upload it just to try and big note themselves.”

I suggest just saying a polite ‘thank you’, after all he did make the job of catching himself much easier. Maybe this could be a new police initiative – hand out free video cameras to Canberra’s youth and then sit back and wait for them to incriminate themselves.

The picture alone would lead someone to jump to the conclusion that the person was the owner, read the caption on the blog site, it makes it obvious that he isn’t the owner of the vehicle. Jumping to conclusions can come back to bite you. I would suggest some of the above posts may need to be removed.

This guy is the prime example of why the small pee pee hand signal was thought of in the road safety campaign of a few years ago.

What we see is him driving around in his mortgage, because he’ll never be able to afford it and house payments.

I guarantee he has the entire collection of Fast and the Furious on Blu-Ray and pumps the sounds of the homies on his stereo.

Wow – look at those skid marks!

Chong’s going to go down!

What a douche!

I think everyone who sees him driving around in the BMW daddy’s triad money brought for him, should call Mr Plod and report that they’ve seen this car driving irresponsibly at 100kmh + above the speed limit .. then when Mr Plod turns up at the door, we should YouTube his reaction.

Car crushing should certainly be introduced for lame wads like this, who have callous disregard for other road users, and those who think that majority are wrong when we express outrage – you might think twice when someone in your life gets mowed down by an arse clown like this.

Really? I was told that Canberra was designed for car drags and other illegal street car behaviours. Must admit, you do have nice streets and nothing much happening down there so I’m sure kids put two and two together.

(ah… maybe just the triple j news… had missed #78.)

Haha, just heard about this very story on JJJ’s 3pm news today. They spoke to a local copper who said something or other about the guy in question being a bit of a duffer.

neanderthalsis said :

So, daddy bought little chongy a Beemer or he’s a drug runner for the triads?

Spot on! I’m guessing both are probably true.

This is Mr. Dinh’s response on his blog:

http://www.jhdinh.blogspot.com

For the Full Article: http://mariatran85.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-coincidence-we-finally-see-bmw.html

I started the morning off with a comment from RiotACT a funky grassroots “online riot” for the for the Canberra (ACT) Region. Its a sort of central online hub point for all things local such as the news, arts, music and entertainment and also for anyone with any comments, queries and complaints to raise it and rowd up other Canberrians.

The comment goes ” Ha ha. Check this out http://the-riotact.com/?p=15644 For someone who is associated with higher learning, you must be flunking…right? Hope they throw the book at you.”

So I checked it out only to realise that my visit to Canberra earlier in mid year for the university lecture Internet 2: Alternative Media – Team Vietlish’s lecture at ANU – Canberra had coincidently collided with the owner of the notorious Beemer with the number plate CHONG.

We crossed paths with this car parked at the Faculty of Arts and Joseph realising that it reads “Chong” in Vietnamese as Husband, he decided to create the title “BMW – Be My Wife – Husband”. This was his facebook pic for some time as he would overtly flaunt his cultural intellect to his peers.

But little did we know that the owner of the vehicle was also very “Alternative Media” saavy. So saavy that his illegal activities are being posted on You.Tube.

Ok…what freakier…is that Canberrian detective work is linking CHONG to Vietlish! Hilarity!

Far out! Canberrian vilgilantes do go along way! A post that was made two days ago (10 Nov) has involved in 67 posts (probably counting!) CHONG’s friends and haters and the police! Currently Vietlish is under sucpicion that it links to Vietlish! Hilarity! Poor Joseph Mr Australian-Vietnamese of the Year 2009, a guy who’s hasn’t had a girlfriend before is now a suspect! One great idea of taking a photo with a funny looking number plate can really land you under suspicion.

I’ve been to Canberra a couple of times in my life and I must say, its a really peaceful and quiet place. Not much happens in regards to community activities that involve that culturally diverse (people from Non-English Speaking backgrounds) and a lot of “youngies” have really detailed it as a place where “nothing happens”.

People work and do the same thing over and over again, go to parties on the weeken ds or leave for Sydney. So when a little “Asian nippy gook” goes around doing something like MR CHONG it must definitely cause an outrage to society. But, then again, what else is in Canberra?

Good thing too, because you’d be wrong. It’s pretty obvious OYM has mistaken Mr. Dinh for ‘Chong’, when in fact Mr Dinh is doing what everyone else on this thread is doing: taking the piss out of ‘Chong’.

Check zig’s link again, note the Vietlish theme and the pattern of poses, and read the text underneath the photo. Do you think ‘Chong’ would refer to his own number plate as ‘lame’?

What an absolute tool. Interesting website supposedly he was the Australian Vietnamese Citizen of the Year recently. What an embarassment to the Vietnamese community.

Also has his own blog and Facebook page.

Wonder if the Canberra Times have got hold of this yet, remembering back earlier this year the tool on the motorbike undertaking similar antics, filming his speedo whilst speeding around town, made the national news.

Idiots like this fool should be taken off the road before some innocent driver is killed or injured by his stupid antics.

Not sure what the ‘hoon’ laws are in the ACT, but what a delight it would be to see the beemer at one of the recycling places and squashed into a $70000.00 square box of metal.

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, maybe the government could consider penalties like those found in France. The ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) brings word of safety improvements in France due to new legislation.
“The new regulations allowed the suspension of the driver’s license if the driver exceeded the posted speed limit between 30 and 39 km/hr and/or performed overtaking maneuvers in dangerous circumstances. In addition, other sanctions include five years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros for accidents resulting in a death, and seven years in prison and 100,000 euros in penalties for driving 50 km/hr over the speed limit, leaving the scene of a crash, or driving without a license.” (Gerondeau 2005, quoted in ITE, August 2009)
Now, those are some penalties that you can be afraid of… This, along with other penalties and enforcement has lowered the number of deaths on French roads by 43% between 2001 and 2007 (ITE, August 2009).
I guess the big problem may be enforcement. The article also says “Even the best policy will have no effect if it is not followed by wide enforcement action …”.

I think Joseph just posed in front of the lame Choung mobile. The driver of the Beemer is much younger.

Sgt.Bungers said :

I’ll certainly be having some choice words with him if I see him. This person is a perfect example of why 17-25 year olds have the highest number of deaths on the road per capita. He clearly has absolutely NO concept of how dangerous his driving is at the speed limit, let alone 3.5 times over the speed limit. He also clearly has absolutely no regard for his safety, let alone the safety of others. Naturally if someone were to put forward these facts to him, he would simply palm them off as he’ll consider himself a good driver who’s never yet had a crash…

Perhaps, if a person under the age of 25 is caught driving at twice the speed limit on more than two occasions, their licence should be revoked until they turn 25? Hopefully by that stage they’ll have developed more suitable self preservation skills required for the task of driving.

I have saved a copy of these videos, saved his username, and have also called the police. I’ll be burning a copy and dropping into the police station next door in the next half hour. Fingers crossed this idiot is put in front of a judge who’s able to tear strips off him.

Who could it have hurt? The driver, other road users, pedestrians, the emergency services personnel who would have had to clean up the mess (human) and tell the families etc etc etc.
It’s all about consequences – something that so many people simply do not think out. You may be in “total control” but you have absolutely no control over anything else.

I wonder if Mummy knows he’s driving her car around like this?

Is that how it works? I might go around shooting a gun. As long as no one gets hurt, that’s okay.

The guy is a fucking idiot…

Interesting to note that some people on here condemning his behaviour also call for faster limits in other threads… And therein lies the problem… What is fast enough for one/some won’t be for others… People who think some roads should have higher speed limits will still be considered too slow for morons like this… Which is why we all need to stick to current limits and quit our moaning…

sloppery said :

… exactly sloppery – all those haters should all get some sweet new C4Rh8R R4C15T number plates.

@sloppery

Simply put, the perceived risk associated with driving at 210km/h on an urban public road cannot be justified in ANY circumstance, while the road is actually open to the public.

While I was an Ambulance Officer, the fastest I ever traveled was 160km/h on an empty rural highway whilst under Police escort. Without a police escort 30-40km/h over the limit was the max I’d ever travel under lights and siren.

Other road users are simply not expecting a vehicle to approach them at such high speeds.

Before you go justifying high speed with “but in Germany, but in Austria, but in Europe…” road users in Europe are accustomed to high speeds on motorways, they are trained accordingly. Their motorways are also designed and maintained according to extremely strict universal standards, unlike Canberran roads where the ACT GovCo has trouble maintaining the simplest of lane markings.

Next time you get behind the wheel of a car, think to yourself before you drive off, that you as a person in control of a motor vehicle, are entirely capable of making a mistake that is going to claim the life of an innocent party, or cause them to become paralyzed for the next 50+ years. Or maybe end up orphaning or killing some children. Imagine being responsible for a child growing up without their parents because you didn’t think driving excessively fast (for no other reason than having a bit of fun) was going to hurt anyone? All are possible scenarios as a result of a car crash that occurs at any speed, let alone one that occurs at 3.5 times the speed limit. That fact should scare the shit out of you… and IMHO if it doesn’t, you should not be allowed anywhere near a car, ever.

related to this, but where is the deterrent for this type of behaviour???there is just no real punishment for this type of thing. watching ‘the force’ the other day, with the girl who couldnt even stand she was that drunk caught driving. she lost her license for 6 months and a fine. whoop de doo. that is not a deterrent. What would this guy get, a slap on the wrist, a fine he (or his ‘vocation’ or parents) can clearly afford? its bullshit.

if we are going to be serious about this, there needs to be tougher penalties. cube his car, take away his license for 5 years, something other than what we have.

It’s worth carrying a bottle of brake fluid around, in case one ever comes across this moron’s motor.

sloppery said :

You just don’t get it do you. Wonder if you would say this if it was one of your family members being scrapped of the road because of this idiot.

Wakefield probably wouldnt suit him, as from what Ive heard they ensure both car and driver are capable of driving safely and from looking at this video the latter leaves him a bit out of luck. Not to mention, he’s probably spent so much money on his car he probably cant afford to goto somewhere legal to drive.

Moron.

and they wonder why so many people are getting killed on the roads..

Hope the police are soon knocking on his door.

I’ve seen this wanker around, he likes to fly up & down roads on the northside alot.

I love how on his Youtube page he doesn’t allow comments as he knows what he will get.

From memory I’ve seen this car pull into a house in Franklin

worst burnout ever

Hahaha, it’s his real plate; I’ve seen this kid driving around the ANU.

He’s definitely acting like a stupid little bastard, but if that actually is Northbourne (my skim through the video never shows anything but the speedo), then he really IS a stupid little bastard. The other two aren’t in the middle of housing areas and prone to police presence.

You can tell he is all about Image.

Even the courtesy of displaying his registration.. The owner of a car with the rego “CHONG” displayed on a brand new beemer isn’t going to be hard to track down. Even the footage if it didn’t have the rego you could deduct well enough that he lives in one of the newest suburbs in Canberra, take a pick of roughly 3 that are developed to the stage seen in the video. I’m sure he’ll be getting a visit in the next few days once somebody directs the police to it.

Times like these that you would enjoy a car crushing law being introduced.. The look on the driver’s face would be good to see.

I wonder if Chong is his real licence plate?
