Rear-end collision in Oberhausen: driver without a valid driver's license!

A noticeable rear-end collision caused a stir on Dieselstrasse in Oberhausen on Wednesday. At around 3:50 p.m. there was a collision between two vehicles, with the drivers, a 48-year-old and a 37-year-old, becoming involved in an argument that, according to witnesses, became quite heated. The older driver had to spontaneously brake when turning onto Donauwörther Straße, which the younger road user noticed too late and therefore drove into the vehicle in front. The collision resulted in total damage of around 5,000 euros and significantly damaged both cars, as [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/augsburg/fahrer-ohne-gueltigen-fuehrerschein-verursacht-auffahrunfall-in-oberhausen-110455747) reports.

A police check revealed that the 48-year-old who caused the accident only had a foreign driving license that was not valid in Germany. As a result, investigations are now underway against him for driving without a license. In such a situation, not only is the driver in question prevented from continuing to drive, but there are also legal consequences that, in the worst case, can lead to a fine.

More details about the accident

Although the 37-year-old is considered to be the cause of the accident, the exact circumstances of the rear-end collision are crucial for the legal consequences. According to Bussgeldkatalog, rear-end collisions are often the result of errors in distance. This means that road users may drive too closely or brake sharply, which can lead to danger. The 37-year-old now has to expect a fine, although the exact amount depends on whether he is accused of not keeping a sufficient distance.

In such cases, the police advise immediately securing the scene of the accident and providing first aid if necessary. In many cases it is also necessary to call the emergency number and inform the police, especially if there is personal injury or significant property damage. In the event of rear-end collisions with injuries, criminal proceedings can be initiated for negligent bodily harm, which can lead to fines or imprisonment.

consequences for those involved

Both drivers will now have to deal with the legal consequences of their traffic accident. The catalog of fines provides for different penalties for rear-end collisions, which can vary depending on the situation. Injured parties also have the opportunity to file a claim for damages to cover the costs incurred. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop for those affected, but it is clear that every accident also has serious consequences for the drivers and their insurance companies.

Overall, this incident shows once again how important safe driving and compliance with traffic rules are in order to avoid such situations. Driving without a valid license not only represents a high risk, but can also end in a nasty surprise for the driver and other road users.
