> Yes v common in Oz, as in "bunch of hoons". Also used as verb, eg. "hooning about". Yobs is closest equivalent term.

A more popular term in WA is 'bogan' - means pretty much the same thing, I think; though 'hoon' is more well known. It is pretty closely associated with people driving in cars - usually souped-up Holdens or Commodores. These people get their kicks from slowing down to shout obscenities at women and men alike and then speed away, spinning wheels. In that sense, they are very different to road rage drivers, who are just aggressive people getting from A to B and don't annoy pedestrians and motorists as a pastime!
