Confiscated ... Facebook photos proved the undoing of a Castlemaine driver.

A hoon driver has lost a car for the second time after posting his driving antics on social networking website, Facebook.
The 20-year-old Castlemaine man last month became the first person to have two cars permanently confiscated under hoon laws.
The man was busted for a second time when photos and video posted on Facebook, of the man doing burn-outs in a ute on a country highway last November, were handed into police.
A magistrate ordered the ute, worth about $21,000, be taken from the young driver and found him guilty of dangerous driving.
The man had already had a Ford Falcon sedan worth about $3000 confiscated by police for careless driving last December.
Senior Constable Grant Healy from Castlemaine police said about 50 hoon drivers were being taken off the roads each week under anti-hoon legislation introduced three years ago.
"This bloke has had plenty of warnings but we have had enough of this type of dangerous behaviour," he said.
"It really does send a clear message to would-be hoon drivers that not only do we have the support of the public, we also have the support of the magistrates when it comes to getting these menaces off the road."
