Austrian here: some cars were already taken away, but mostly just temporarily. Also the car won’t be gone at the first offence, only if you are caught multiple times.
So losing your car won’t happen “by accident”. To lose your car, you have to drive much too fast (something like this is done deliberately) multiple times (then your are an idiot who shouldn’t drive).
I dont pity anyone who lost his/her car. They are idiots, which shouldn’t share a road with others.
Denmark takes your car on the first offense. You’re not getting it back. Doesn’t matter if it’s not your car. Doesn’t matter if you’re not a citizen.
You’re not getting it back ever? In my province in Canada it’s up to a month but if that happens your license is suspended anyway…
I just looked it up. You’re not getting it back ever, they sell it at auction.
You have to be drunk or going double the speed limit for this to happen though.
That’s really interesting.
I see people doubling the limit in school/construction zones or reduced speed residential areas all the time. This would be a massive detterent.
They took a Norwegian guy’s Lamborghini. He tried to sue as he claimed it breached his human rights. Didn’t pan out for him in the end
I’m sure he cries himself to sleep on his cash stuffed mattress. lol
Also if the car isn’t yours? Well, that makes people be careful with what friends they let drove their cars then I guess
Daaaamn… Reminds me of California (I think) where they would crush modified cars

isnt the comment about the US true of pretty much any issue?
Compared to Europe, the US response toward <your_issue_here> has been more laissez-faire.
Unions are more heavily regulated for one.
Fuck. I wish Germany would do that. But we can’t even get a speed limit, even though everyone wants it save for the automobil industry.
