And Bendigo continues to feature as the anti-hoon capital, with local police impounding their 441st and 442nd cars over the weekend.

The drivers who made the hoon list included a 39-year-old Leitchville man who had his car impounded for 48 hours after he was clocked 53kmh over the speed limit on the Northern Highway on Friday. He had his 13-year-old son in the car at the time.

Sergeant Geoff Annand from the Bendigo traffic management unit said a preliminary breath test indicated the driver had been drinking.

However, the already disqualified driver refused to accompany police to the station and he will be charged on summons.

A 20-year-old probationary driver had his car impounded on Saturday night after being clocked at 150kmh on the Calder Freeway at Taradale.

The Bundoora man received a $438 fine, six demerit points and will be off the road for six months.

Under anti-hoon laws introduced in 2006, police can confiscate for 48 hours the cars of drivers caught speeding, engaging in dangerous driving or street racing. Most of the cars are impounded at weekends, with men aged 20 to 25 the most common offenders.

Police Minister Bob Cameron said hoon drivers needed to wake up to themselves.

“These laws are making people think about the consequences of driving dangerously, but there are still too many people, especially young men, who treat our roads like race tracks and put their life and the lives of others at risk,” he said.

The State Government and Victoria Police yesterday released a list of the top 10 suburbs for car impoundments. St Albans, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing topped the list with 125, 117 and 115 respectively, while Kangaroo Flat came in 19th with 73, Bendigo 70 and Eaglehawk 42.

Mr Cameron said the Government would introduce tough new laws into Parliament this year that would see first-time offenders have their car impounded for a week and second-time offenders for three months.

He said police would be given the power to sell or crush cars if hoons continued to reoffend.
