15-year-old drives quad without a driver's license-police investigated!

An unusual incident occurred on July 3 in the Uckermark when the police discovered an unknown quad that parked on a private property. The situation took a turn that could not only have consequences for the 15-year-old driver, but also for her environment. Reports from Nordkurier , the girl did not have a valid driver's license and drove an undisclosed vehicle, which is clearly not allowed on public roads.

What may have thought the youngsters? The Uckermark police inspection followed the quad and finally discovered the vehicle on a private site. Hard to believe that it is so tempting for teenagers in Germany to control a quad - but in order to be allowed to legally, a corresponding driver's license is required. According to the Gutfrage platform there is no special quad driver's license. Instead, you either need a moped driver's license (AM) or a motorcycle driver's license (b).

driving guidelines and responsibility

quads are popular in many areas, for example in forestry, where they are often used as all terrain vehicles (ATV), but they have special driving characteristics that are not always easy to master. In the comments of the adac it is pointed out that quads require special prerequisites when driving. Young people aged 15 and over may drive light quads, provided that they meet the legal requirements and may be up to 50 cm³ of displacement and a maximum of 45 km/h.

But the current situation could result in serious consequences for the young driver and the owner of the quad. The criminal police have already started the investigation because both participants could be held responsible. In such a framework, it is important to be clear about the legal requirements, especially driving on public roads without the required approval always leads to consequences.

The obligation to security

An additional aspect that should not be neglected in the debate about quad driving is security. At a speed of over 20 km/h, wearing a protective helmet is mandatory, and suitable protective clothing, especially in the motocross style, is also recommended. All of these requirements are not only laws, but should also ensure the safety of the travelers and other road users.
