It is a simple section of the law that puts an end to most legal street racing in Denmark.
The illegal street race is increasingly facing competition from legal alternatives. But the latter have a hard time. And it is actually because of the legislation. This is what TV2 Øst says in a post on Facebook. It is because it is only three to four times a year that the legal street races can be organized in the various places around the country. And this is because the race falls below a limit for so-called 'temporary events'. Something the municipality, if they want and can agree on, can give permission for. If more lobs are needed – such as lobs every weekend from May to September – an EIA screening is required.

But it can actually be done to get more than five legal street races organized per year. If several municipalities that are close to each other joined together to support the legal street race, several lobs could easily be done. Also without having to carry out EIA investigations, of course. The legal street race is not without development either. Most recently, a municipality like Horsens has set aside a million kroner in the budget to help this kind of thing get started. Read more here.
