Marco Reus fined 540,000 euros for driving without a license for 3 years





source : bild article sadly behind paywall but posted in a tumblr post


e: apparently he also received five speeding tickets during that time, but no-one ever noticed he didn't have a license o_O

e2: someone from reddit translated a quote from the man himself:

He took driving lessons when he was 18 but never took a driving test. He just decided to drive without a licence. "Sadly I decided to take this route. I can't even comprehend the reasons myself. Now I know: I was too naive and it was stupid. I have learnt my lesson. It will never happen again."

e3: can't believe it took me so long to remember his nickname is Rolls Reus.



yeah. i am disappoint :/

I think many people believe you have to have it on you all the time. I usually have it too, as it's in my wallet anyway, but if you had to carry it (and could presumably be punished for not doing so), that would smell a bit police-statey.

It would be very police-statey, now that I think about it. It's icky that the Ausweispflicht goes back to the national socialists anyway and their Kennkartenzwang for Jews and men fit for military service (I was just browsing Wikipedia) :/
