define hooning

Hooning, in the Australian vernacular, is the art of demonstrating your car's disdain for the road rules with flair. It typically involves reckless driving behaviours such as burnouts, doughnuts, and excessive speeding — basically, the vehicular equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum in the supermarket aisle. While thrilling to some, it’s a surefire way to attract the attention of the local cops and perhaps a hefty fine or even vehicle impoundment. Authorities have cracked down hard on hooning to keep our roads safe and sane, so consider channeling your inner speed demon at a track day instead.
