    A proposal could see the swift destruction of boy racer and fleeing driver vehicles

    A proposal could see the swift destruction of boy racer and fleeing driver vehicles


    The Government's looking at tougher penalties, including a presumptive sentence of vehicle destruction.

    The legislation that coined Judith Collins' nickname "crusher" currently requires three convictions.

    It will also see bigger fines given to excessively noisy drivers.

    Police Association president Chris Cahill says bringing the number of convictions down to one, should make a difference.
