In Australia they’ll seize and crush (NSW police) your car at 45km over. Doesn’t even matter if the owner isn’t the driver. Apparently they’ve crushed 10,000 cars in the last few years.
I assume the owner would just say the car had been taken without their knowledge . You can't crush someone's car for speeding if the driver stole ir, I would hope!Otherwise criminals would target police cars to steal to go joy riding in

ok I am slightly wrong- The law is impounded for 28 days and they stuck to it. Seems there was no provision to deal with the case whereby the owner was not the offender. Law being changed apparently
The Lamborghini seized under hoon legislation
PHOTO: Leone Magistro was allegedly caught driving this Lamborghini at speed on Reid Highway.
A 53-year old mechanic has made a brief appearance in court charged over driving his client's Lamborghini at 60 kilometres per hour over the speed limit.
Leone Antonino Magistro was allegedly caught speeding in the $200,000 car on Reid Highway last month.
The car was impounded for 28 days, even though the owner, a Perth doctor, was not aware the car was being driven.
The case exposed a loophole in the government's anti-hoon laws, which the Police Minister Rob Johnson initially refused to admit but he was later forced into an embarrassing backdown and has promised to amend the legislation.
Mr Magistro has not entered a plea and will return to court next month.

That's an article from 3 years ago and mentions nothing about cars being crushed?
The Channel Islands are a small place. The news of the cars came later and was not reported in the press but there was LOTS of debate locally (after the news of the cars being crushed) that the cars should have at the very least been sold for charity or similar as it seemed such a waste. The only thing we could think is that the authorities wanted to ensure that the previous owners had no way of getting them back.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
