MELBOURNE'S hoon drivers face having their cars clamped outside their own homes.

Police will use wheel clamps on hoons' cars in a bid to reduce the costs of impounding vehicles.

Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill says police impounded 4600 vehicles last year, with a similar number expected this year.

"We believe immobilisation will reduce our vehicle storage costs, but more importantly, it will alleviate officers having to wait around for tow trucks and get them back on the road," Mr Hill said on Friday.

Officers will decide if a hoon driver caught for excessive speeding, repeat drink-driving or driving while disqualified will have their car immobilised at their home or if it should be taken to an impound facility.

Third-party contractors will put wheel clamps or steering locks on the cars within 10 days of the offence.

A sticker will be put on the car warning about fines for tampering with the immobilisation device or unauthorised relocation.

The immobilisation option will be trialled across metropolitan Melbourne for the next six months.
