This year's edition of DHB – Denmark's Fastest Car – is underway. Until now, the police are present around Padborg Park with more photo vans than usual.
It bodes well for DHB to keep things under control.
This is the message from the Southern and Sonderjyllands Police in connection with the opening of the Danmarks Hurtigste Bil car festival.
Already from Thursday, however, the police circle focused on the area around Padborg Park, where the car party is held. In general, however, it is less to write home about.
For example, a few reprimands have been given, while a motorist on his way to the DHB has had the number plates of a caravan confiscated.

This is what the Southern and Sonderjylland Police write on the social media X.
At the same time, however, law enforcement informs that "for the sake of traffic safety" they will be present in several places around the event, and that in this connection they will deploy several automatic traffic controls – the so-called photo vans.
And it has already paid off well in the state coffers. 170 motorists passed photo cars too quickly on Thursday, while that figure was 121 on Friday.
On Thursday, a patrol from the Southern and Sonderjyllands Police measured six motorists for driving too fast around Padborg Park, as well as one motorist speeding around with a large trailer, for which he does not have a driving licence.
It is not the first time that the police are present both on and around Denmark's Fastest Car. In fact, the law enforcement's methods and presence have drawn a lot of criticism over the years.
Among other things, the people behind Padborg Park described the police's efforts against the event as a riot in 2022. Read more about it here .
