Is it the same in New Zealand? Do hoons still own Queens Street on Friday nights? Is it all quiet in Hendo, the bogan capital of New Zealand now?

Would it be too long a shot to say it will decrease the road toll for young, stupid drivers?

And in other news, the petrol companies continue to cash in better than ever.

Filled up the Holden the other day, it wasnt quite empty, but it still it ripped me $105

How about Labour gives us a break on the petrol tax. They are still making millions too.

469255 2006-07-08 05:43:00 A $70 tank of gas will do me over 400 KM's, almost 450 if Im lucky.. And no, still doesnt deter people from Queen St, drags still happen and further away than ever from what I understand to keep away from the police. Chilling_Silence (9)

Most of the drags I see are around the vivian st and marian st area. The cost of petrol doesn't deter them but the cold weather does :D

469258 2006-07-08 07:30:00 The cops had a big sting sometime last year down here,They got some young cops in some fast cars, WRX's i think, went to an organised race, and then made a sting. Cop cars came from everywhere and busted about 20 people. It was in the middle of no where, with massive straights. Prescott (11)
