18 year old has driving licence for less than a day

Wednesday, 2 November 2022 06:30

An 18-year-old passed his driving test in canton Aargau – and lost his licence the same day.

Last Thursday afternoon, police clocked the young man in a BMW on the cantonal highway in Bözberg – at a phenomenal 128 kph – the limit is 80.

They demanded his licence on the spot - but all he had was the paper to say he’d passed only a few hours earlier.

So, they took that instead.

A relative told the Blick newspaper that they don’t want to talk about the incident.

A Blick reporter managed to get him on the phone. He was massively abusive and then hung up, says the paper.

The incident is now in the hands of the cantonal prosecutor.
