So, if you didn't know, Australia's car culture is pretty hugeMad Max-esque, even.

And just like in Mad Max world, there's an odd-sounding name, especially granted to drivers who race up and down public streets like Furiosa, partaking in "burnouts," and "donuts."

They're called "hoons," and people are baffled by it.

Queensland police have just released a hotline — aptly called 13 HOON — for the public to snitch on offenders who've been racing on their streets. 

Queensland police has a dedicated hoon hotline, 13HOON, to which you can report hoons and counter hooning (you can also report hoons online) http://pic.twitter.com/NSBW61V5lI
