Actually, our punishments for speeding are very mild compared to much of the rest of Europe. Going over the limit by such a margin will get you lose your license though.
I don’t know what the other countries will do, but Danish police will auction off the car … and throw you in jail as well as taking your license and fining you 2000€.
“What if the car isn’t mine? What if it’s leased or borrowed?” I hear you ask. If it’s not your car, then you owe someone a car, because the police just sold the one you went more than 200km/h in, and the government kept the money.
Sorry, I removed what seemed like a rather long tracking ID, but apparently you can’t load the page without it. Anyway I’ve updated the link for anyone else who’d like to know what we do with your car in Denmark if you speed.

Loss of license is comparatively mild? What do they do in the rest of europe? Public execution? 😁

Don’t believe me? Check out this guy who had his Lamborghini for less than a day (in Danish, use your preferred translation service) https://nordjyske.dk/nyheder/shakhwan-skal-i-faengsel-og-han-faar-aldrig-sin-lamborghini-igen/
I translated it into English and it says:
"Oops… we can’t find the page

Regardless, crazy.
