If you want to do a burnout/skid on an empty road then by all means go ahead, heck I'll come out and cheer you on. But doing that in the middle of a busy road with people around is the height of irresponsibility, you can see the traffic stopping for him (one car even backs up) and there was no doubt a lot of pedestrians around. This is one of those rare occasions where the driver has truly deserved his conviction for doing burnout.

Back in the early eighties we used to look with scorn at anyone doing burnouts in the town...they brought the heat down on all of us and made it harder for everyone. Drag races and burnouts? Sure...heaps of them. Outside town...maybe half-hearted drag races between traffic lights in the street but it was more a case of "who can beat who off the line?" than a full length drag race.
Nowadays it seems to be a badge of honor to drag race, do burnouts, and try to drift in crowded suburban streets. Thanks for making it harder for the rest of us, moron... |

Have been visiting that stretch of road for the past 20 years.. nothing has changed.
They put up boom gates / fences and other traffic control measures to stop people just driving around the block several times. As for this twit... wanted his 15 minutes of fame and got it I guess...

I know the **** smack in the 200SX, lets just say this is par for the course for him. He is a total bag of balls and has no respect nor decency for anyone.

The true definition of a hoon and a knob. Problem is us boys who may chirp into second gear with a bit of throttle will get the same penalty!

This was the wrong place, wrong time, and wrong "skillset". Car went onto opposite lane, slid round in opposite lane with pedestrians on footpath, car had to reverse on public road to avoid knob. Hell- I am not a saint, but when I really unleash it is in an area without pedestrians and no other traffic. If there is traffic- hell- at least keep to your allocated lane..... Dicks like this make it that much harder for the rest of us who drive spirited, but do so in controlled fashion in well maintained machinery while applying full driving attention to what they are doing.

What's a "drive while visiting NSW permit"? Is this some wonderful new law that can keep those terrible Victorian and Queensland drivers out?
Jolly good I say!

You never know when things can go wrong. No matter the skillset.

In his mind a skid of decent size is the kind made by a crash landing boeing

"Fully hektik burnout ule I swear to habeebi da cops are just pikkin on me bra, cause they can't do burnouts as *** as me ule"

Did the car get impounded & will the driver go to jail for a little time out? Or is that legislation in other states only?
cheer's, Maka
