    Denmark will also confiscate and scrap or resell your car if you go a certain percentage over the limit. 100 in a 30 zone would be enough.

    You don’t have to be a citizen or the owner of the car; if the car is found speeding, that car is getting taken.

    It was a huge thing a few years ago when it was implemented because we caught a few lambos joy riding from Germany up through Jutland

      So I can steal a car from someone I don’t like, speed in front of a camera, and their car will be destroyed?

        Not a problem. In that case you’d also have theft charges and would be liable for the car’s value in civil court (or whatever the Danish equivalent is).
