Is it really going to be a deterrent?

1283003 2012-06-20 08:20:00 I can't believe this is the first car. It's been in law since 2009. I thought more cars would have been crushed. wmoore (6009)
1283004 2012-06-20 08:41:00 I'd prefer that Wreckers got the option to bid on stripping the car of any worthwhile bits prior to the crushing, otherwise it's all just a waste.

However, I'm glad the brainless petrol heads get their just deserts.

Score one for the cops at long last.

1283007 2012-06-20 10:38:00 I was listening to the talkback radio about this. A suggestion was made that the car should forfeited to the crown and sold instead of being crushed. Answer was who would buy it as boy racer cars are pretty much worthless and they do have modifications that are undesirable to normal people. Another boy racer might buy it and it would be back on the street again. Better to scrap it and recover the metal value. :badpc: Bobh (5192)
1283008 2012-06-20 10:40:00 d a m n, thought ChCh. would have been first, the could have started filling up "soak holes".

Mind you I think there would be a few wrecks under Pacific Park in Bexley, where there was a firm who dis-mantled vehicles there.

Yeah! That's what bugs me about the whole system.... It takes so long for things to happen. People that live in areas where boy racers "strut their stuff" would say that it's an "immediate problem" and, like an annoying fly or mosquito, needs to be swatted swiftly. Four years from "go" to the first crushing indicates that either the law has no balls or boy racers aren't a problem.... I wonder which one it is ....;)

1283011 2012-06-20 21:11:00 The cops need a mobile crusher that could go out on raids with them, crush on capture would be so much more fun, they could even video it and put it up on Utube gary67 (56)
