Hooning refers to the act of driving a vehicle in a reckless or dangerous manner, often characterized by excessive speeding, drifting, or performing stunts. This behavior is typically associated with a disregard for traffic laws and can pose significant risks to both the driver and other road users. Hooning is often seen in urban areas and can lead to serious accidents or legal consequences. In many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the United States, hooning is considered a criminal offense. Law enforcement agencies actively monitor and penalize such activities to promote road safety. Penalties may include fines, vehicle impoundment, or even imprisonment for repeat offenders.
