Fast & Furious is a series of action films that are largely concerned with illegal street racing and heists. Lots of inexperienced people like to emulate the actions in these films.
Hooning, illegal street racing and exhibition driving are a problem across the entire country. This driving behavior increased during the COVID shutdown when city streets were empty. Now law enforcement agencies are cracking down on illegal driving practices.
Hooning: a term used to describe reckless driving behaviors like speeding, racing, doughnuts and burnouts that often take place on public streets and in private parking lots without the owners' permission.
Hoon: a person who deliberately drives a vehicle in a reckless or dangerous manner, generally in order to provoke a reaction from onlookers.
Hoonigan: a person who operates a motor vehicle in an aggressive and unorthodox manner, consisting of, but not limited to, drifting, burnouts, donuts as well as acts of automotive aeronautics. One who hoons.
