the Government has had enough of reckless driving, such as the one in august last year cost a 35-year-old police officer, who was not at work, life on the Langebro in Copenhagen.
Therefore, there must in the future be introduced a "rule" that gerningsbilen confiscated at the vanvidskørsel, regardless of whether the car is owned by someone other than the driver. It is part of the government's move, which the rest presented on Thursday morning.
- If a few gang members running vanvidskørsel up the Helsingørmotorvejen, the police can, when it stops them, take the licence, seize, confiscate and sell the car.
the Money comes into the treasury, and the two bandetyper must take the coast railway, and to provide a travel card, so they can get home, says justice minister Nick Hækkerup (S).
today, the police may withdraw the licence on the spot, when it stops a reckless driver. But in the future it should be a requirement that the police do it.
All cars used to vanvidskørsel in the starting point will be seized and auctioned off. It is also true, although it is owned by a leasing company or another. It must be done, unless there are very special reasons.
Leasing companies have the right to seek compensation from the offender, and the minister believes that they themselves have a responsibility, if they are not careful enough, when they check who they rent to.
in the Future they get the opportunity to check the information about the tenant's e-skatdata. Thus is minimized the risk that financially disadvantaged front men can lease the cars.
the Presumption of leasingselskaberne is that vanvidsbilister get the front men to rent cars, and that they are socially disadvantaged citizens with the poor economy.
As part of the proposal establishes seven definitions for vanvidskørsel.
for example, It is particularly reckless driving, driving with an overrun of more than 100 percent of the speed, drive with a bac above 2.00, or when the other is placed in danger.
the Minister acknowledges openly that the proposal may risk to hit other than those who commit lovbruddet.
- If it is a leasing company, then it is true that it does not see the car again. It should think really well about and investigate thoroughly, before it leases the cars out. It may raise claims against those who have committed vanvidskørsel, says Nick Haekkerup.
He rejects, that it would be tend towards symbolic policy, because gerningspersonen may lease or borrow a new car.
the Minister of justice points out that when vanvidskørsel are talking about serious crimes. He fears not, that it may have particular importance for the persons who have leased a car and lend it out to strangers like a shared car.
- If you borrow his car out, you must think about who you lend it to. We're talking not about a random exceeding of the rules of the road, he says.
Christian Brandt, who is the director of the trade association Finance and Leasing, believes that the proposal is simplistic.
- We have the right of ownership to the car, which we lose. It shoots at the side of the disc. You are going to really punish the leasing company and not vanvidsbilisten, who has run the bloody stupid in traffic, he says.
the Initiative has been under way for some time. Already have the transport minister Benny Engelbrecht (S) suggested that the most serious cases of speeding must be able to give unconditional prison already for the first time.
the Government's overall response is expected to be tabled as a bill in the course of the spring.
