This week, the National Police was able to say that confiscated cars used for carousing have been sold for more than DKK 16 million. But there is something completely wrong, says the director.
Crazy carousel has no place at home. And not on a public road at all. So far, Christian Brandt, director of Finance and Leasing, agrees with the basis behind the law against reckless driving. But somewhere the chain jumps off, the director believes. At least that's what he writes on his LinkedIn profile , on top of the news that confiscated cars used for crazy rides have been sold for over 16 million. DKK. An amount the National Police disclosed this week after the insurance company Gjensidige had asked about it. There is simply no distinction between ownership when a car is impounded for speeding. And Christian Brandt doesn't think that's right. In fact, the law is so flawed that it is directly offensive.

However, he does not only have verbal slaps left over for the law and thus police practice. One is right in front, the director believes. Instead of confiscating, for example, a leased car, the crazy driver must be presented with a fine corresponding to the car's value including tax, suggests Finance and Leasing. The director believes that this will make the preventive effect far more direct towards motorists. In contrast to private creditors, the state also has far more extensive access to citizens' pockets in the form of wage withholding. One way the state can possibly go until the individual crazy driver has coughed up the full amount of the fine in the common fund.
