More than 2000 fines have been issued to "hoons" driving dangerously across Queensland since June, as authorities conduct a major crackdown across the state's south-east.
It comes as vision released by Queensland Police reveals drivers are increasingly uploading clips of hooning behaviour to social media platforms.
Cars are seen doing burnouts, doughnuts and speeding down the street in the vision.
As part of Operation Uniform Elderberry, police have issued 2048 fines and impounded 59 vehicles.
A further 219 unlicensed drivers have been caught, while 92 positive drug drivers and 72 drunk drivers were also detected.
Police Minister Mark Ryan branded the behaviour "idiotic" as he revealed the figures today.
"Hoons driving dangerously in defective vehicles is a disaster waiting to happen," he said.
"We do not want hoons tearing up our roadways like racetracks and putting themselves and innocent road users at risk for the sake of social media notoriety.
"The idiotic behaviour police have seen throughout this operation is downright disturbing and I commend officers for removing these vehicles from our roads and taking action against those responsible."
Ryan said Queensland had some of the toughest anti-hooning laws in place across the nation.
"Under these laws (known as owner onus or driver deeming laws) a registered owner of a car must prove they were not driving the vehicle at the time of the offence or else they will face the consequences," Ryan said.
"This significant legal advantage for the Queensland Police Service sets Queensland apart from other Australian jurisdictions."
In addition to penalties for hooning-related offences of fines of up to $5,338 and terms of imprisonment up to six months, hoons also face having their vehicle impounded or immobilised.
Both drivers want to move into the middle lane - who has to give way?
