Sorry, I removed what seemed like a rather long tracking ID, but apparently you can't load the page without it. Anyway I've updated the link for anyone else who'd like to know what we do with your car in Denmark if you speed.

Going almost triple the speed limit like that in the United States will end up being a combination of felonies, you'll be taken directly to jail, and your car will be impounded as evidence. You could serve years depending on how the felonies shake out, you'll no longer be able to vote, and the fines will be thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. Further, lethal force on the part of an officer would arguably be authorized given the clear and present danger to the public by someone going at such an egregious speed.

I'm not sure such an over-the-top example is great evidence of how strict Danish moving violations are.
