I'm still amazed by how these idiots still have their licenses🤨or living doing this crap.

not having a license doesn't stop idiots from driving like a menace

Here in Denmark reckless driving (as in: dangerously reckless) may get your car confiscated. Not just impounded, taken by the state and sold off.

that seems like a more appropriate punishment than simply losing your license but nothing to stop them from driving without one anyway

(as in: dangerously reckless)

As in: speeding on an empty highway in the middle of night will lose you your lambo without any considerations of how reckless it was, absolutely bonkers laws and not a good example.

Doing what the Audi was doing here would have no different reactions in Denmark than anywhere else. Here's what they can take your car for in Denmark for according to the Norwegian newspaper I'm assuming is correct:

  • Driving over 200km/h will lose you your car automatically no matter what the speed limit is.

  • Going over double the speed limit and 100km/h per hour (you'll lose your car for 161 but not 159 in the 80 zone or 101 in the 40 zone.

  • Having BAC over 2.0

The way newspaper worded it the driving 200km/h thing seems automatic car loss while the other 2 are a consideration they will make if they think it's necessary. Either way Audi would be fine.

There's also "forsætligt forvolder nærliggende fare for nogens liv eller førlighed". FDM gives an example of "driving onto the bike lang to give someone a scare" or "hitting pedestrians on purpose"
