A Kingston man responsible for burnouts in the gravel car park of the Bruny Island hotel will be prosecuted for hooning offences and driving without a licence.
Tasmania Police used CCTV footage to help identify the driver from the incident on Monday and say they are disappointed in the behaviour shown by the 30-year-old man, who was a visitor to the island.
Senior Constable Ashley Hopwood said the man was leaving the Hotel Bruny, at Alonnah on Bruny Island, about 5pm and proceeded to do burnouts in his vehicle in the gravel carpark of the hotel.
The incident was reported to local police by members of the community.
A review of CCTV footage helped identify the vehicle and the owner.
"This sort of driving behaviour is reckless, and it puts innocent people at risk," Senior Constable Hopwood said.
"Police are committed to keeping our roads as safe as possible and hoons should be warned that this type of behaviour can lead to loss of licence, vehicle confiscation, vehicle destruction and significant fines."
"Anyone who witnesses dangerous driving on our roads should contact police on 131 444, or Triple-Zero (000) in an emergency."
"If you can't call at the time, but you have dash cam or other footage, you can upload it to our evidence portal at police.tas.gov.au/report."
This week, May 12 to 16, is National Road Safety Week.
