On Saturday, police in Port Lincoln, Australia seized a red Holden Commodore belonging to a 17-year-old driver accused of speeding and "excessively loud engine revving." They held the vehicle for 48 hours, even though the driver had not received a trial.

Since February, the "anti-hooligan" law has seized 100 automobiles for doing burnouts in addition to 76 confiscated for other covered offenses. The law allows police to keep the car for three months on a second offense and permanently on a third.

Police now have the authority to random breath test any driver they stop. The State's assistant police commissioner yesterday announced a State-wide road safety operation with at least 200 SAPOL officers dedicated to road duties.
