German police say a motorist has been clocked driving at more than 199 mph on the Autobahn west of Berlin. He was traveling at more than 124 mph above the speed limit.
At over double the speed limit this would usually be classed as dangerous driving (a more serious offence than speeding) and result in instant disqualification in the UK, too. Though you wouldn’t be banned for good.
confiscate his car and then take away the drivers license for good
You’d be surprised how many just drive around in their partner’s car without license, often drunk and/or stoned. They mainly get caught because they cause accidents they can’t easily walk away from.
That’s the reason for taking the car. No fucks are given in regards to who owns the vehicle. If you get caught driving insanely in your friends car, it’s your own problem to explain to your friend why he doesn’t have a car anymore.
The only time I’ve heard of them returning the vehicle to the actual owner was when they confiscated a bus, which was needed for public transport.
We Germans should do it like Denmark and confiscate his car and then take away the drivers license for good.
