i dont care about messages in this context, if we crush cars without an alternative we will just force people to indebt themselves with new cars, and that just makes the problem worse. early obsolescence is not the answer.
sure, throw that bastard in jail. still, a car that can do that speed can be given (or at least auctioned) to someone who will use it fairly until its useful life is spent, and we can replace it with something better. we do that here when we catch criminals doing stuff like this on vehicles.
Also, could lead to perverse incentives if they re-sold the vehicles or gifted them to people (who may or may not happen to know people who help run the program).
Sends a great fucking message though.

The context is going 70kph over the speed limit, or 233% over the limit.
Not sure about Germany and Switzerland, but here 30kph zones are used for school corridors and pedestrian areas.
Some fuckwit driving 100 kph in one of these is tantamount to attempted manslaughter.
Someone doing this shouldn’t need to worry about a new car, because they shouldn’t even be able to buy a new car before rehabilitation.

Not if you make alternative means of transport available like they do in both Germany and Switzerland
