(UK, slang) To drive very fast or recklessly.
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.
(Australia, New Zealand, slang) Resembling or characteristic of a hoon.
(British, slang) Riding in a high-performance stolen car, especially as a form of display.
