Aussie Hoons' Rides to be Crushed Under New "YouTube Law"
Quote:
The New South Wales Government is fed up with illegal street racing and has decided to implement the "YouTube Law," wherein confiscated cars will be crushed in "crash test experiments" and then shown on YouTube for hoons to watch. Prompted by the deaths of two citizens in August in an alleged street racing accident, the police have confiscated nearly 300 cars for their little experiments.

While we kind of think watching heavily modified Falcons and Commodores plowing into each other is kind of awesome (it's sort of a big thing around here), we probably wouldn't feel the same way if we put forth the thousands of dollars for the mods. As soon as we find some of that video we'll happily share it with you.

My View: Sounds kinda silly at first but seeing some first hand wrecks or friends and family, wouldn't mind our government to get creative and look to use other online channels to teach people to not street race.

I read about it in a magazine a moth ago. I think the whole thing is crazy.

I'm curious, if they see you racing on the highway will they do it, or does it have to be F&F style with 100 cars drag racing each other outside a big warehouse?
