Gilchinger drives to the court hearing without a driver's license - Now it's getting serious!
A 61-year-old man from Gilching has to answer again before the Starnberg district court for driving without a driver's license.
Gilchinger drives to the court hearing without a driver's license - Now it's getting serious!
In a bizarre case from Gilching, a 61-year-old man went back to the Starnberg district court on July 14, 2025. The reason? He lost his driver's license in June 2022 due to drunk driving. A year earlier, in July 2024, he was caught by the Munich police without a driver's license during a check on the Salzburg motorway. Despite this history, the accused ostentatiously put his vehicle key on the table during the court hearing and denied having traveled in his own car.
His argument was simple: he said he wasn't allowed to drive, but he was allowed to own a car. However, the prosecutor could not believe this explanation. In order to ensure that the man does not drive without a driver's license again, she informed the Gautingen police about the possibility that he could get into the car after the hearing. Your suspicions turned out to be true.
Surprising twist
A short time later, the man was actually found driving a vehicle by a police patrol near his home in Gilching. Surprise for him: During the subsequent check, the police were not very amused. The car was confiscated on the orders of the public prosecutor and the vehicle registration document was also confiscated. The police have since repeated their investigation into driving without a license.
The identification treatment that the man had to endure at the Gauting police station was the final step in this strange episode. He was eventually released after interrogation, but the legal consequences of his actions are far from over. Will he learn from this experience? You can be excited.
For the Gautingen police, it was further proof that checking drivers without a license is of great importance. In other cases, too, it has been shown that after a driver's license has been revoked, there is a great temptation to get behind the wheel, which not only endangers road safety but also has legal consequences.
It is clear to readers: The streets in Gilching should continue to be closely monitored in order to nip such cases in the bud.
This strange episode is not only another example of human error on the road, but also a lesson in the consequences of one's decisions. Local media like Mercury and South Germans will certainly continue to monitor developments.
