(rare, slang) someone who hoons, that is, drives in a reckless manner.
British slang meaning to drive at high speed or in a reckless, aggressive manner. To hoon it somewhere is to floor the accelerator, ignore speed limits, and treat the road like a personal racetrack. Derived from "hoon," which in Australian and British English describes a reckless young driver who drives dangerously for thrills. The phrase implies urgency combined with disregard for safety — you hoon it when you're running late, showing off, or just feeling the need for speed.
(UK, slang) To drive very fast or recklessly.
(Australia, New Zealand, informal, derogatory) An unpleasant or contemptible person (especially a man).
