    If you don’t wanna click:
    They went 321 km/h on a 120 km/h section with their Porsche. They were fined 900€, three months suspended and got two points added

      I live in Germany and know someone who got banned from driving for being caught with weed when he didn’t even have a license yet (so he was banned from being allowed to even obtain a license) and this motherfucker drives over 200km/h over the limit and gets to keep his?

    Not a big enough fine. Also why not give an article using actual measuring units? He was going km/h and was most likely fined in €.

    Edit: nevermind it does say 320km/h and 900€. Why does the blurb not say it?

      Why does the blurb not say it?

      The article lists both, and has the imperial and US dollar figures secondary in parentheses.

      Why that was the source chosen, and those numbers picked out of the article to be posted in the Europe community is a good question.

        Yeah I checked the article but it really does not say much more than the blurb. So the question of the blurb remains perplexing.

    I like that in Denmark they confiscate your car even if it’s lot yours. If you do something extremely dangerous they just keep it and sell it (after a judge deems it so)
