    In Estonia, at your second speeding drunk-driving violation they confiscate your vehicle - and if it’s an SUV they send it to Ukraine.

    For backstory, see latest episode of the podcast The Urbanist Agenda.

      I heard this was if you get caught for drunk driving the second time, they stepped up their game damn.

        You’re right, I meant drunk driving, not speeding.

        But some countries take speeding pretty seriously too (as they should). In Norway you get a short jail spell for something like a 30kmh excess. In Switzerland the fines are adjusted for income so that rich speeders pay more - one guy paid over €1 million! Same system in Finland too, I believe.
