Teen Drives Unlicensed Car Without License on Illegal Parking Lot Joyride - Teen driver caught with fake Tesla plates and no licence in Germany

A 17-year-old girl was caught driving an unlicensed car without a licence in a Friedrichshafen shopping centre car park. Police noticed her suspicious behaviour after she repeatedly sped around the area. When officers stopped the vehicle, they uncovered further offences involving fake licence plates and an illegal weapon.

The incident began when witnesses reported a car circling the parking lot at high speed. Officers intervened and discovered the driver, a 17-year-old girl, had no licence. The vehicle’s licence plates were also found to be fake—they belonged to a Tesla and had already been deregistered.

The driver will be charged with traffic violations, while the passenger faces prosecution for weapons offences. Authorities continue to examine the vehicle’s history and the source of the counterfeit plates. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
