Damn… The more I hear about stuff like this the more I like the Danish police and traffic laws… They certainly aren’t perfect, but man is most of the rest of the world a shit show when it comes to that.

In Denmark 3 km/h above the limit can get you a ticket. 30% above will get you a “point” to your drivers license and a much larger fine. 60% above and you will immediately lose your license and a large fine or potentially prison.

A “point” stays on your license for 3 years, and it you get 6 cuts, you lose your license.

I haven’t heard of anyone keeping their license “because they needed it”… You just have to bike, or take public transport.

You also get a point for many other offenses, such as using a handheld phone, crossing on red, tailgating, driving the wrong way, or many other things.

The first 3 years after getting your license, the limit is lower at 4 points, and if you lose your license and get a new license the limit is only 3 points.
