Hooning

Hooning is the common word we use for any anti-social behaviour in a motor vehicle (car, van, or motorbike), such as speeding, street racing, burnouts and playing loud music from a car stereo.

You can make complaints online about other traffic related incidents such as:

dangerous driving

careless driving

driving without reasonable consideration for other people

driving in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke

racing or conducting speed trials on a public road.

Anti-hooning laws, as they are often known, have been repeatedly strengthened as part of the Queensland Government’s commitment to crack down on illegal street racing and hooning. You can commit a hooning offence while you are driving any vehicle, including one owned by a friend or family member—you do not have to be the vehicle’s owner.

Fines for hooning

Penalties vary for different hooning offences. For example, driving in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke carries a maximum fine of 20 penalty units ($2875) while the most serious offences, such as careless driving—also known as driving without due care and attention—or street racing, carry a maximum fine of 40 penalty units ($5750) or 6 months in jail.

Impounding, immobilisation, and confiscation of vehicles

In addition to the penalties for any traffic offences committed, a 2002 amendment to the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 gave Queensland Police the power to impound vehicles, immobilise and confiscate vehicles involved in hooning offences.

Impounding vehicles

Vehicles are impounded by being placed in a holding yard. If your vehicle is impounded, you will have to pay for it to be towed to the impound lot and stored there. Depending on how long your vehicle is impounded this could be a substantial cost; particularly if you must await the outcome of legal proceedings against you.

Immobilising vehicles

Vehicles are immobilised by removing and withholding the licence plates.

Once the immobilisation period is over you will need to go to the property point stated on the immobilisation notice to reclaim your vehicle’s number plates. You must bring proof that you are the registered owner of the immobilised vehicle or write a letter authorising another person to collect the plates for you.

Confiscating vehicles

For the second Type 1 hooning offence and the fourth Type 2 hooning offence your vehicle can be confiscated—taken off you permanently—at the end of any legal proceedings against you. Confiscated vehicles are auctioned off by the government or crushed and sold as scrap metal.

Types of hooning offences

Hooning offences are now classed as either a Type 1 or Type 2 offence. Each type of offence carries different impound, immobilisation and confiscation penalties. For both a Type 1 and a Type 2 offence—depending on the seriousness of the offence—you can be issued an infringement notice, a notice to appear in magistrates court or you may be arrested.

not having your vehicle is causing you severe financial or physical hardship

the cause of the offence has been corrected—for example, the vehicle has now been modified to comply with safety standards

you are the vehicle owner and the offence happened without your consent

the impoundment or immobilisation was unreasonable.

The application must be made to the Commissioner of Police through the Queensland Police early release of an impounded vehicle application form. You should also provide any documents that can back up your application. Once all documentation has been received the police should be able to decide on your case within 5 working days. If your application is refused you can appeal through the Magistrate Court.
