A driver will be forced to commute on foot from now on after being caught red-handed doing a burnout right in front of an unmarked police car.

Police have confirmed the car was later seized and will be impounded for 28 days.

In South Australia, drivers can be fined up to $1,250, face licence disqualification and even imprisonment for some "hoon" offences.

"Wheel clamping, impounding or forfeiture of a vehicle is in addition to any other penalty that may apply to a prescribed offence," SA Department of Infrastructure and Transport stated online.
