What is hooning?

[DanielSan]

According to a picture from a local newspaper (no idea which one) then if you enjoy going for a drive you are definitely a menace to society.

What a load of rubbish...

Quick! We'll have to think of another word to describe going for a drive just for the hell of it.

The hoon has been tainted.

It's an Australian news paper. Hooning is a fairly commonly used word to describe poor and reckless driving over there.

Is a 'blat' just straight line where going for a 'blast' involves S bends?

As much as i don't like to admit it, i am at an age where this kind of behavior is common amongst my peers however they don't seem to have a specific name for it, i guess its just day to day driving for us youth
