A driver raced through Aalborg at more than double the legal speed limit on Sunday evening. Police clocked the motorist traveling 128 kilometers per hour on Tranholmvej, a road with a 60 km/h restriction.
The excessive speed qualifies as reckless driving under Danish law. Authorities immediately dispatched patrols to the vehicle owner's residence.
Police confirmed they arranged for vehicle transport following the incident. The car will be formally confiscated through legal proceedings.
A police supervisor described the situation as dangerous driving that warranted immediate action. Such extreme speeding violations typically result in vehicle seizure under Denmark's strict traffic regulations.
This case highlights ongoing concerns about speeding in urban areas where lower limits protect pedestrians and cyclists. Danish authorities have intensified traffic enforcement following recent road safety campaigns.
Why do drivers risk such severe penalties? The consequences include permanent vehicle loss, heavy fines, and potential license suspension.
