Good luck on that one, you'll find most roads suffer from hoons at one point or another, the best you can do is avoid the hotspots that they tend to frequent on a regular basis

its quite easy i would of thought to see where the hoons are,,they leave there calling card on the tarmac...i cant see hoons wanting to do there stuff in a nice quite cul-de-sac...those hoon circles where everywhere is some places i looked at but very few in others....i may be wrong though,i will let you know in about 12 weeks..
