    im all for it except for literally scrapping a perfectly good vehicle

    they must know crushing and manufacturing a whole entire new car to replace it is costly as fuck to the environment and our pockets? putting it in the hands of someone who might need it is literally free.

        i dont care about messages in this context, if we crush cars without an alternative we will just force people to indebt themselves with new cars, and that just makes the problem worse. early obsolescence is not the answer.

    For reference for those using freedom units that’s roughly 60 mph in a 20 mph zone

    Bonus. In eagle burger land that will either land you:

    • $200 fine and 2 points on your license (varies on state)

    • shot in the face (dwb and reaching for a gun wallet)

    • nothing (hello fellow patrolman, have a great day killing pet dogs)

      People regularly do that speed in my neighborhood that has a 25mph limit. The only time I see cops around is when they’re looking for the tweaker down the street so they can arrest him for whatever shit he stole this week, have him rat out other tweakers, and immediately release him to do the same thing again later.

        Catch and release is vital for a healthy ecosystem. It allows for sport catching without impacting breeding programs. Done correctly, a sportsman can take progressive trophy photos throughout the quarry’s life

    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

        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).
