Victoria Police have confiscated the cars of more than 10,000 dangerous drivers since anti-hoon legislation was introduced in 2006.

An Eltham man had the dubious honour of being the 10,000th hoon after he was clocked travelling 65 kilometres an hour over the speed limit at Doncaster last month.

The top hoon hot spots include Bendigo, Broadmeadows, Epping, and Frankston.

The average age of a hoon is 24 and most are male.

Police confiscate an average of eight vehicles a day in Victoria, often for illegal street racing, keeping them off the roads for 48 hours.

Deputy Commissioner Ken Lay says tougher laws expected to be introduced by the Victorian Government this year will help to get more hoon drivers off the road.

"This weekend we've impounded 33 cars," he said.

"We've had three people die in the last 10 hours so clearly we've still got some work to do.

"The impoundment legislation is a very important part of what we do - we know it makes a difference and we'll continue to aggressively target these dangerous drivers on our roads."

Police Minister Bob Cameron says most drivers whose cars have been impounded have learned their lesson.

"There will be people who reoffend, about 5 per cent," he said.

"It's a low number so that's why we know the scheme works, but unfortunately there are those who will reoffend and they face higher penalties."
