Well, That Was Fast: Young German Speeder Earns, Loses License In 49 Minutes
https://www.npr.org/2018/11/21/670081127/well-that-was-fast-young-german-speeder-earns-loses-license-in-49-minutesAn 18-year-old in Hemer, Germany, managed to earn and lose his drivers' license over the course of less than an hour.
He successfully obtained his license on Tuesday and celebrated — how else? — by going for a drive. At nearly twice the legal speed limit.
Just 49 minutes after he earned his license, a police laser speed gun clocked him going 95 km/hr in a 50 km/hr zone — that is, nearly 60 mph in a 32 mph area.
Just like that, his brand-new license was no more.
