Hooning Punishment

[AU Mont]

I check Warwick News quite often, and find the Judges to be out of touch with reality. Ive seen everything from wife bashings, to multiple car thefts used in robberies only to be slapped on the wrist

Now hooning isnt as bad as the previously mentioned, BUT i do know that people who are caught face massive fines and loss of licence. Apparently not in this case, gotta love the reasoning behind the doughnuts, and why the judge let him keep his licence

A YOUNG father caught hooning with his two-year-old child in the car will work off the debt incurred by his reckless behaviour.

Travis Raymond Scheibel fronted Warwick Magistrates Court this week and pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention.

On the morning of May 20, an unmarked police car observed Scheibel hooning on Wood St.

The court heard Scheibel's black Holden sedan revved excessively, before flipping around in a 180-degree manoeuvre and facing back in the direction from which it came.

The 26-year-old again revved his engine, causing his wheels to spin.

The car was impounded for 48 hours following the incident.

Defence solicitor Phillip Crook told the court his client had just got the car and had not adjusted to its V8 engine and heavy pedals, resulting in his bad driving.

Mr Crook asked the court to take into consideration the fact that his client was dependent on his licence, as he needed it to get his child to day care each day.

Magistrate Graham Lee noted the Cottonvale man's "bad" traffic history and ordered him to complete 25 hours community service.

So after he gets used to the V8 and heavy pedals he will be doing better donuts? a 180 isn't very impressive, but I will accept his excuse for not completing a 360.

Nevermind the 2r old in the car... its all ok.... being a bogan and having a baby in the car is seen as "fathering"....

Better then leaving the kid on the side of the road.

[EDManual]

So what, that doesnt sound dangerous in the slightest! Doing 60 through the CBD of any city is more dangerous than a slight wheelspin, or quick u turn!

Probably shouldnt say, but my 2 year old loves doing "circles" and making heaps of dust in the paddock! Have you seen Roary the racing car? (a hooning racing car and his hooning car mates that hoon around doing donuts on normal roads/beaches/ race tracks etc etc!) Thats hilarious! Would be banned if the Govt/cops noticed it! No wonder 2 year olds love a few donuts!

[Jim Goose]

I rest my case...

[Agent86]

when my eldest boy was 18mo- 2 yr old, he LOVED riding in my VL-T.

Even complained to his mum that her car wasnt as fast as mine and it needed to go faster

[Readie9]

I enjoy hearing of hoons cars being crushed in front of them. Sadly, it doesn't happen enough. Why are the courts so lenient on these morons??

[XRDeeze]

bogans these days

[Riksta]

Oh, the boganity!

[Falconxf88]

So are you lads whinging about the kid in the car or the mild burnout?

[GTJOHN]

Need to start issuing licenses for people to be parents...
Could this clown not have dropped the kid home then proceed to be a moron on the streets without the child inside ???
Reckless and stupid, no need for it on the streets, with or without kids in the car, these bogans make all car enthusiasts look bad

Umm... I think having a 2yr old in the car outstrips the stupidity of doing 180 skids...

And his argument is that he needs his license to take his 2yo to daycare!?!? Can't believe he thinks the judge is gonna put a 2yo at danger again.

[grandpa_spec_F6]

I'm a tad more maternal than most people I know, so if I ever did something like this I'd expect the book to not just be thrown, but fired from one of those navy railguns at my face.

Putting yourself in danger is one thing, putting a 2yo child in danger is another.

I can enjoy a good burnout etc, I'm not saying I've always been a saint myself, but there is a time and place.

heavy clutch pedal next time i rock up in court.. ey..

wear best tracksuit..

lol..

shazza & dazza..

[Falconxf88]

So what's different from say having a 6 year old in the car while out on the pad? I'm sure this bloke didnt do it anywhere near any form of danger.

I get your point, but at least that's a controlled environment.

You'd hope he wasn't just being a spanner... but no...

[pottery beige]

that poor child will be scarred for life..

[grandpa_spec_F6]

I used to work for emergency services, go ask any of the ambos how 'scarred' he'll be the one time it goes pear shaped.

Nanny state bs aside, he was being a nob, got caught, they let him off.

/Moralising for the night

[Elks]

It's very hard to argue against the do gooders. Speeding/Hooning is against the law and to support it is difficult. But of course we all know and have felt like the authorities use a sledgehammer to kill an ant.

We all know of examples of stupidity the give the authorities some form of justification for coming down on the rest of us.

Doing a 1/2 a donut with a 2 year old is unacceptable. So where is the line? 16, 12, 8, 6 ? where is the line. I'm not sure.

Perhaps its just simpler not to do a skid with the kids in the car.

wood street is actually a part of a major highway that everyone in the lower half of oz use when travelling inland when heading up north

semi's passing through every 30secs lol

[AU Mont]

just goes to show that a solicitor is worth their money in every sense of the word, and a judge in a good mood makes life a little easier haha

[Falconxf88]

Im all for crushing hoon cars... If we get to shoot thieves. I got booked for speeding, not too long after having my house robbed. Guess who got the worse punishment. Makes me sick that if you steal peoples stuff, you still get off lighter then the honest bloke enjoying his car. I would be alot more dirty about it if i actually got done with a hooning offence.

[Falconxf88]

And for the record, I was 14k over in the work truck coming out of a 100 zone. Not that I need to explain myself.

Hooning in cars can endanger lives, thieving not so.

End of story.

[Falconxf88]

I beg to differ...

[poppa smurf]

as a parent and a grandfather and also having been in attendance to many accidents where kiddies were present ...........I must say my skin crawled when I read this

our role as a parent is to protect our little ones as much as possible against as many things as we humanly can

many things can go wrong when doing something stupid in a car including fire and collision which some folks simply dont think about nor could possibly foresee

does anyone TRULY think this environment is okay for a 2 year old or a child of any age for that matter

I honestly wonder sometimes whether some people should be allowed the greatest privilege in life and am amazed at the thought processes of some
