The videos show hoons performing burnouts, doughnuts and generally menacing Bendigo streets.

One video, Commodore Burnout, was posted as recently as three weeks ago.

Another video, which shows a VK Commodore performing a burnout in Edwards Road, has received almost 3000 hits.

The video runs for almost two minutes and has received a four-and-a-half out of five-star rating from its viewers.

News coverage on Bendigo becoming the "Hoon Capital" added to the site in January last year attracted negative and positive comments.

Comments addressed to the coverage include: "Nufn (sic) like the smell of rubber"; "Hoon law is bull . . ."; and "Never stop doing burnouts".

One visitor wrote: "Keep doing burnouts, f . . . the cops, next time u (sic) drive on the footpath, run over a f . . . ing copper."

Other viewers posted their disgust at the hoon videos.One visitor to the video page wrote: "Grow up before you put someone or yourself in the morgue."

Senior Sergeant Ryan Irwin, of the Bendigo Traffic Management Unit, said hoons had been identified and caught from video and mobile phone footage.

"We are quite pleased with the videos, we use them as an investigative tool, they assist us in detecting offenders," he said.

"We have caught many through home videos that have found their way into our hands."

Sen-Sgt Irwin said most hoons were generally young men who did not think of the fatal consequences associated with dangerous driving.

"Their thought processes haven't developed to full maturity, they are happy to act in a risky behaviour and want other people to know about it," he said.

"The typical person who engages in this sort of activity believes they have certain driving capabilities, they think they are good drivers and safe when in fact, they are at the opposite end of the scale.

"It was well documented to say different education campaigns do not have an impact on young males.

"It has got to come from family and peers."
