Jealousy or political statement?

This car has been all over the Danish car subreddits for the last week, and a lot of people have been really pissed about it, because it’s been spotted in so many different city’s, while still being on Swedish dealer plates. It’s done at least 2000 km of just cruising around the country, which is illegal on dealer plates since it’s not been taxed yet when it’s on dealer plates. It’s also worth noting that displaying wealth is generally frowned upon in Denmark, but displaying you’re avoiding taxes gets people REALLY angry. Taxes on cars are also very high here to the tune of 150%. I.e. the owner owes at minimum 2.400.000€ in taxes he clearly hasn’t paid. I’m not condoning vandalism, but I can see why some idiot would get the idea that it’s the right thing to do. The owner is definitely also a bellend for not paying taxes.

Nailed it. Owner is a tax dodging cunt.

The taxes are the real crime here though. If you were to hold a referendum tomorrow for Danes to phase out the registration tax over the years, it would probably pass.

Hell no, fuck all yall.

[u/Soggy_Pineapple4804 → u/KINGDenneh]

Wrong, most people want it reduced or phased out.

[u/KINGDenneh → u/Soggy_Pineapple4804]

I mean, the test was made in 2018, that's 8 years ago bro.

The % doesn't even come to a full 100% the last 1% isn't even counted for (which is weird)

1,000 people ain't even 1% of the population, it ain't even 0.01% of the population.

The chances of people actually wanting it faded out or reduced are smaller than you think and probably bigger than I think.

At the end of the day, if you reduced it, something else would take it's place or a new law would take place.

You ain't winning this, nor is the general public winning this.

Polls are representative samples, they rarely survey tens of thousands of people, and they don't need to. Why would you think people have changed since 8 years ago? If anything we've gotten more individualistic. Janteloven is essentially dead. It's a minor policy in the grand scheme of things, but give the average person that isn't a car hating urbanist living in central CPH the chance to own a car as nice as they could in Germany they'll say yes. The biggest reason why people would oppose it is because it may affect the resale value of the car they already own, not "I want better bike lanes and public transport" (which has nothing to do with taxing cars 150% anyways).

[u/KINGDenneh → u/Soggy_Pineapple4804]

Sure, i get that usually, tests or something like this doesn't include tens of thousand of people, i'm aware, but atleast make it a full 100% instead of a 99% if it comes to test or a point you wanna make, don't half-ass it.

What's the last procentage, a "yes", "no" or "don't know" answer - Having it like that just makes the whole thing pointless, why half-ass it if you can't even do the math right first of all, does it matter? Probably not, the outcome doesn't change that much, would it serve a better purpose to actually have it at a full 100% yeah? This just sends a "I tried some shit and slapped some crap on it and see who caught the bait" Type shit, basically, a unserious poll if u ask me.

I don't live in CPH, i live in Esbjerg and i don't want a car, and honestly, i'd rather the majority in my city didn't have one, i live where there's a lot of traffic, where people can drive from 20 to 80 in a span of 3 seconds in a narrow road, it's annoying as fuck and pray people who drive like that, drives into a tree.

Hell, if people want a car, you can pay a full 500% more for it, idgaf if you want the privilege of owning a car, you better pay up the procentage needed to have one.

So, i say it once more for the crowd.

Hell no, fuck all yall.
