The incident at an overview

A 19-year-old woman and her acquaintance chose a free supermarket car park on Papenburger Strasse for their driving training. This decision turned out to be problematic when the police became aware of the slowly driving vehicle at 00:50. Despite the extraordinary circumstances led to this decision, the driving on public parking lots without a valid driving license is not legally allowed.

regulations and alternatives to practice

The clear regulation states that people without a driver's license may only practice on correspondingly marked private areas with the consent of the owner. Another option represents the use of traffic exercises that have to be reserved in advance. It is also important that an authorized accompanying person is present. This person should be at least 25 years old and have driving license class B. The Deutsche Verkehrswacht offers helpful information about the availability of such exercises in the area.

The meaning of Enlightenment

Such incidents illustrate how important it is to inform young people about the legal framework and the safe opportunities to practice driving. When preparing for the driver's license test, interested parties should be aware that practicing on public areas can not only be illegal but also dangerous. Expert advice can help avoid misunderstandings and thus increase the safety in road traffic.
