A speed demon has been sentenced to 20 days in prison in Denmark for driving a borrowed Porsche. A court in Lyngby, Denmark, decided this on Thursday after the 42-year-old would have driven more than 210 kilometers per hour instead of the permitted 110 kilometers per hour. In addition, the driver will lose his driver’s license for three years.
The verdict is also a pity for the friend from whom the man borrowed the leased Porsche 993: the car is seized and sold. The income goes to the state treasury.
The police can confiscate cars
This is possible after a stricter Raser law. After that, the police can confiscate cars that have been driven particularly recklessly – for example faster than 200 km/h or with more than two promille alcohol in the blood. This applies whether or not the driver also owns the car. The law entered into force in Denmark on March 31, 2021. A day later, the man was caught speeding.
According to the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, the third part of the extensive package of road traffic measures in Austria should follow in the autumn. This should include the seizure of speeding vehicles. The bill should have been examined at the end of September, it is still pending.
