Local opinion: these guys after a certain point (n + x km/h, maybe 40km/h, idk) need to have that car turned into a 1m x 1m cube. They’re not going to learn and they won’t stop driving with a ban. A 14 day suspension is nothing to these clowns and really driving is a privilege not a right.

It's an automatic 30 days suspension and 14 day impound. They can (and almost certainly will) extend those. We'll have to see where the trial goes, but in previous cases they've lost their cars.
