Because people like yourself are asking why there's injecting rooms for addicts but no skid pans for hoons. They're two completely different methods and aims for tackling a problem.
There's a strip at Easter Creek which I believe is open at least every Wed. Has it curbed hoon behaviour? Right now about a block from me some clown is doing a burnout. I live 15 minutes drive from Eastern Creek where people are doing them legally right now. I can now hear another clown screeching round corners with a fart can ricer.
You just can't equate an addiction to acting like an idiot in a car. One is a dependency and one is a choice. I'd prefer there were avenues for those unable to afford treatment to break the cycle of drug addiction because those services are better than none at all. I'm ambivalent about a skid pan doing anything to curb boneheaded behaviour on public roads.
