The <em>Dutch Daily News<\/em> reports that a 20 year-old driver has been caught by police going 100 miles per hour. That&#8217;s hardly news, except the lead-footed youth was driving his parent&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/veyron\">Bugatti Veyron<\/a> at 50 mph over the speed limit and the Dutch police confiscated the vehicle and the driver&#8217;s license. There is no word whether the family will ever get the Veyron back.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re thinking this young man is likely to receive more than five minutes in time out for his 1.8 million euro &#8220;mistake,&#8221; but then again, it isn&#8217;t every parent that lets their 20 year-old son drive the family Veyron (assuming he had permission in the first place). It&#8217;s also important to note that it really doesn&#8217;t pay to drive too fast in northern Europe outside of select derestricted portions of the Autobahn. Here in the States, reckless driving can carry the same weight as a drunk driving arrest, but chances are your vehicle won&#8217;t be confiscated.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\">First Drive: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/06\/bugattigrandsportfd_47_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/06\/bugattigrandsportfd_01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/06\/bugattigrandsportfd_02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/06\/bugattigrandsportfd_03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-bugatti-veyron-grand-sport\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/06\/bugattigrandsportfd_04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dutchdailynews.com\/dutchman-loses-bugatti-veyron-and-license-after-speed-violation\/\">Dutch Daily News<\/a>]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"> <\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/28\/report-dutch-driver-gets-bugatti-veyron-confiscated-for-doing-5\/\">Report: Dutch driver gets Bugatti Veyron confiscated for doing 50 mph over.
