I agree with auctioning the cars. It gives the original owner the chance to buy their car back at the current market value. Their $40,000 car they can buy back at auction for $40,000, or someone else can buy it. A pretty hefty fine for them, and a great i

I'd like to see some consideration given when the owner of the car is not the person convicted of "hooning". If the apprentice is doing burnouts in the shop ute it seems unfair that the employer has to wear the consequences of the employees behaviour
