DEBATE: The law on crazy driving has too MANY victims, says director

In a debate article published in Jyllands-Posten, the director of the Autobranchen believes that it is completely wrong with the law against crazy driving.

Since 31 March 2021, 2 km/h could cost you both your car and your choir card. Being caught at 101 km/h in a 50 zone, for example, is enough to be convicted of speeding. Unfortunately, the consequences for many are completely out of proportion, says director of Autobranchen Danmark Gitte Seeberg. In a debate article published in Jyllands-Posten, the director points out how the law can and will affect many people other than the motorist himself. READ ALSO: Researcher criticizes road bump to 1 million DKK – "It's WAY too expensive" Gitte Seeberg thinks it's completely fair if an 18-year-old is caught driving crazy and as a consequence has to see his own car impounded and, in the end, perhaps confiscated. The 18-year-old's own car, mind you. Not everyone else's. Like, for example, a leased car. Because the legislation basically doesn't care who owns the car. An innocent third party can therefore easily end up in financial ruin because of one driver's action. – The legislation doesn't care about that. As a result, the most serious financial penalty – i.e. confiscating the car – can end up going to someone who is not involved in the crazy carousel at all, and who may have been completely unaware of it, says Gitte Seeberg. Can't answer after 2 years The director also points out that in the government foundation for the SVM government that took office in December last year, it is stated that efforts will be intensified against crazy traffic. – How it will play out, I look forward to following, but at the same time it will also be appropriate to revise the legislation at the same time, so that some of the minuses, which it unfortunately also has, are adjusted.  Because the reality is that you are thus punishing someone who is not responsible. The legislation should instead aim to target the crazy driver specifically and conversely help e.g. companies to prevent madness from their employees or customers, writes Gitte Seeberg. At the same time, the director is calling for an answer on how companies can best protect themselves against the madness. The government cannot answer that. Although it has been two years since the law was enforced.
