Spectacular chase: 19-year-old caught without a driver's license!

on the night of Monday, May 26, 2025, a dangerous chase flared up in the Ostalb district that kept numerous police officers and other road users in suspense. A 19-year-old man fled the police in a silver-colored Mitsubishi without a license plate. According to Schwäbische Post began at 1:43 a.m. in Donzdorf, where the driver raced at high speed towards Ostalbkreis.

The police tried to stop the vehicle, which resulted in a dramatic situation. A frontal collision could only be avoided by braking the officials. The driver's escape route led over several towns, including Weiler, Bettringen, Hussenhofen and Iggingen. The driver partially used forest and forest paths and brought other road users into considerable danger than at least one oncoming driver had to slow down and switch to the green strips.

arrest and investigation

Near the entrance to Iggingen, the fleeting ran over a stop stick that the police had interpreted. Finally, the Mitsubishi stopped on a field between Göggingen and Schechingen. However, the driver tried to flee into the forest on foot, but was quickly arrested by the police, defending himself massively. During the check, it turned out that he had no valid driver's license. The police investigations were taken in and the officials ask on the phone number (07171) 3580 for relevant information from vehicle drivers.

In another incident on the same evening, a 23-year-old BMW driver in Schwäbisch Gmünd was also on the road without a driver's license. Er wurde gegen 22:25 Uhr über Funk gemeldet, nachdem er zwei Frauen verfolgt hatte. The BMW was discovered on a supermarket car park, where the driver rams the passenger door of a police car and hurls a police officer onto the bonnet. Despite multiple attempts to stop the driver, he was able to flee and ram another patrol car. While the officers shot on the tires of the BMW, the driver could not be stopped.

legal consequences

These persecution hunts also raise legal questions. As explains Bussgeld-Info , a chase in Germany can be classified as an administrative offense and as a criminal offense. In severe cases, criminal offenses come into play, including resistance to enforcement officers or the endangerment of road traffic. The sanctions can range from fines to prison terms, especially if third parties are in danger.

Both incidents illustrate the dangers that come from ruthless drivers. In view of the increased operational readiness of the police, it is clear that such behavior does not remain unpunished and that serious legal consequences can result.
