You're not getting it back ever? In my province in Canada it's up to a month but if that happens your license is suspended anyway...

I just looked it up. You're not getting it back ever, they sell it at auction.

You have to be drunk or going double the speed limit for this to happen though.

They took a Norwegian guy's Lamborghini. He tried to sue as he claimed it breached his human rights. Didn't pan out for him in the end

I'm sure he cries himself to sleep on his cash stuffed mattress. lol

Also if the car isn't yours? Well, that makes people be careful with what friends they let drove their cars then I guess

That's really interesting.

I see people doubling the limit in school/construction zones or reduced speed residential areas all the time. This would be a massive detterent.
