Footage reveals ‘reckless’ Adelaide hoons putting lives at risk with dangerous stunts on busy roads
Parents have slammed the “reckless” behaviour of two Adelaide road users for doing dangerous stunts, one seemingly with a child in the backseat of a car.
In one of the videos, a man is seen standing on the bonnet of a car, leaning against the windscreen while being driven down a Morphett Vale road in Adelaide’s South.

In a separate incident, footage taken in the northern Adelaide suburb of Smithfield shows a motorbike rider performing wheelies on Main North Rd in the middle of peak-hour traffic on Monday afternoon.
Local mum Jordyn Giles, who recorded the video, said other motorists were honking, braking and trying to get out of the man’s way.
“He looked really young, had no safety or protection on him, so he’s pretty much putting himself at risk and anyone else.
“(It’s) just reckless and a bit stupid,” she said.
South Australia Police said they were informed of the motorcycle stunt, but not the incident in Morphett Vale.
They said the driver of the motorcycle had left the area when patrols arrived.
Police urged anyone with further information on the incidents to contact them.
Police Minister Dan Cregan slammed those involved in the filmed stunts for putting young lives at risk.
The South Australian government has proposed a bill that would mean people “seeking to gain notoriety” on social media by bragging about criminal exploits face up to two years in jail.
The laws would apply to offences including violent acts, illegal activity involving motor vehicles, use of weapons or taking, damaging, destroying, removing, using, interfering with or entering property.
“If you seek notoriety through this illegal behaviour … we will impose the harshest possible penalties on you,” Cregan said.
