A man with an "appalling" traffic history has been lucky to keep his licence, but will lose his car after he was caught hooning near the Bundaberg Ring Rd.
Stewart Geoffrey Collins pleaded guilty in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Tuesday to one charge of wilfully making unnecessary noise or smoke.
The court heard police were doing patrols near the intersection of the Bundaberg Ring Rd and Goodwood Rd on January 3.
At 7.55pm they saw a white Holden commodore produce a large amount of smoke and could hear loud screeching.
Collins, who was the driver, was pulled over by police where he was given a notice to appear.
