Nine-year-old child, accompanied by his father, halted their vehicle in Mörfelden-Walldorf locale.
Informal Article:
Last Thursday's lunchtime ride turned out to be a wild ride for a nine-year-old kid and his old man. You guessed it, a witness tipped off the cops at 12:15 PM, and they managed to pull over the vehicle in question.
The passenger seat's occupant was way past tipsy, with a whopping 1.84% BAC reading on the breathalyzer. To make matters worse, the 46-year-old dad had no legal right to be behind the wheel – he was driving without a valid driver's license. Both the kid and his father were nicely handcuffed and escorted to the station for a cheeky chat with the boys in blue.
It's still a mystery how this tipsy duo got to their destination. The cops are currently investigating whether the pops was behind the wheel earlier.
Tip-Top Cop Work
The smack-down didn't end there. With the father's papers nowhere to be found, proceedings were initiated against him for allowing the kid to drive without a license. As the saying goes, ignorance of the law is no excuse!

Germany: Land of Law and Order
Driving without a license or under the influence in Germany is a strict no-no.Penalties for these offenses can be harsh, with fines, driving bans, and even jail time on the table. And if there's a hit-and-run involved? The misery just multiplies.
Repeat offenders are at serious risk of losing their licenses permanently. Accumulating eight points on their driving record will also trigger a license removal, with mandatory medical and psychological exams needed for reinstatement.
When driving without a license and under the influence are combined, the consequences are even more severe. Criminal charges, fines, driving bans, and possible jail time are all part of the package.
So, keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your drinking to a minimum – or better yet, not at all – to avoid landing in hot water with the German authorities.
- In the general-news category, witnesses are requested in Viernheim to piece together a hit-and-run accident that occurred last Thursday, similar to the quick action taken by the police in a crime-and-justice case involving a father driving under the influence, as highlighted in the Land of Law and Order section.
- While sports may not be the main focus in Germany's Land of Law and Order, it's worth reminding drivers that safe driving habits like keeping both hands on the wheel are equally important while driving, just like the kid in the informal article who was gently guided by the police despite his dad's questionable actions behind the wheel.
