Hoon crackdown, $1200 speeding fines

PIC: File

Police will be targeting hoon drivers in a new crackdown that will see fines go up for dangerous levels of speeding.

From next Tuesday, those caught speeding by more than 40km/h will be slapped with a $1200 fine.

That's up from $1000.

The West reports police are catching around 52 drivers a month in that category.

Heavy-vehicle drivers will be fined $1500 for the same offence.
