Teenager racks up almost $6000 in fines for doing burnouts on rims of Holden ute
A 19-year-old disqualified driver has had his vehicle confiscated after being caught performing burnouts in what appears to be a VT-series Holden Ute on Saturday night.
According to a Facebook post by the NSW Police Force's Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, the driver was nabbed while conducting burnouts in the western Sydney suburb of Kemps Creek at 10:23pm on May 3.

As you can see from the images, the public-road burnout session led to the destruction of the somewhat dishevelled looking ute's rear tyres and even its rear bumper.
Police said the man received a number of penalty notices totalling $5818 and will also be forced to pay towing and storage fees for the ute, which was impounded on the night.
'An expensive night for a poor decision by this driver,' said the post, which received more than 700 mostly negative comments.
Most commenters called for a lifetime driving ban for the teenager, with one demanding he pay for damage to the road and another saying: 'The real crime here is the government not providing somewhere for this to take place in a controlled environment.'
