Ute hooning through garden bed - impounded after Police view footage

[mariomart]

I captured this event middle of last year. I reported it and provided the footage to the Police. They tracked the owner down and impounded his vehicle for 28 days under the Western Australian Anti-Hoon legislation. WINNING

Yes, the white vehicle (known as a "ute" in Australia) was actually destroying a freshly constructed garden bed. "Hoon" is an Australian term that refers to anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives a car or boat in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, i.e. too fast, too noisily or too dangerously.

I understand the ute but I have never heard of hoon. Thank you for the explanation.
