The 48-year-old Danish driver will lose his driver’s license, and his Saab was confiscated by the police because he “flew” next to the police “photo-van” at a speed of 182 km/h!
On Viborgvej road in the small West Jutland town of Vinderup (Denmark), the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h, local media “Dagbladet” reports . However, a 48-year-old Saab driver from the vicinity of this Danish place “flew” on Thursday morning next to a police vehicle recording traffic. At a speed of 182 km/h, the man thus lost both a driving license and a car – an older Saab, as stated in the police report.
Fortunately, we do not see that kind of thing that often. But this Danish Saab driver is really reckless, and even 100 km/h drove faster than the allowed speed on this part of the road. During this police check, this Saab driver was not alone in the traffic violation.
During this police control, another 40 drivers exceeded the speed limit, and they mostly went through fines, unlike this Saab driver, whose car was also confiscated. Driving on such a road at such a high speed increases the risk of serious injury or death. In addition, it is far too high speed, which other drivers who, for example, hold for unconditional obligation to give way, do not have the chance to be able to assess.
Insanely fast driving caused the confiscation of vehicles, which was made possible by a new law passed by the Danish parliament almost two years ago. In such cases, the Danish police have the right to confiscate the vehicle and the Court rules on the later sale of the car at a public auction. The law allows police to seize vehicles in the event of particularly bad driving. If agreed to by a judge, police can permanently confiscate and auction off the vehicle to the benefit of the Danish treasury.
That way, this irresponsible Saab driver will be left without his car and without a driver’s license.
