I thank Hon Ray Halligan for some notice of this question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services has supplied the following answer - (1) Sixty-six 17-year-olds are reported as having a vehicle seized and being charged with hoon offences. Of these, 61 were P-plate drivers, two were learner drivers and three had no motor vehicle driver’s licence. (2) Of the 66 charges, 39 were for reckless driving, four were for reckless driving and other offences, and 21 were for excessive noise. One was for excessive noise and other offences. One instance did not have the type of charge recorded. (3)-(4) WA Police’s BriefCase computer system does not capture this information.
