Thanks to the new rules, the police will, after determination of a violation a car immediately can take. Until now, that only in Mechelen. “If your car is used, for example, 100 km/h

riding in zone 30, or really reckless driving behaviour, we see that vehicle as a weapon, and we just wonder,” said mayor Bart De Wever (N-VA) earlier in this paper. “The police officer asks the mayor to authorise that seizure. He does so not through the court.”

Cowboys

Mie Burners: “Cowboys must get out of the traffic, but there are, according to us, is already sufficient laws in the code. Antwerp has a lot of fietsteams, anonymous cars, a lot of cameras. That should be sufficient.”

Mayor De Wever: “With this regulation we will provide a better tit-for-stukbeleid. The procedures are well worked out, together with the police. This can be really a winner. Many cities and municipalities have us all be contacted and are curious as to the way in which we the rules have been drawn up.”

Patsergedrag

The distinction between those who are his car, or loses and who does not, is made by the traffic police. “Who are therefore well placed”, according to De Wever. “We have a well-defined picture of the drivers eyes, and people who feel never attract. That ‘patsergedrag’ is known to be: fast, often rented cars, expensive brands. And that you can really make because a rental car or a car with foreign number plate you can take.”

The seizure is valid for a minimum of 14 days, but can be extended to a maximum of six months. According to the regulation turns the driver on for the costs: 250 euro takelkosten and 25 euros per day for parking the car for the breakdown service.
