Rapid escape from police ends in arrest: 19-year-old without a driver's license!
On the night of May 26, 2025, a spectacular incident occurred on the roads between Donzdorf and Schwäbisch Gmünd, in which a 19-year-old driver without a driver's license tried to evade a police check. At 1:43 a.m., a police patrol from the Eislingen/Fils district noticed a silver Mitsubishi without a license plate that was traveling at high speed. The attempt to stop the vehicle almost resulted in a head-on collision when the driver was only able to avoid the patrol car crew by emergency braking.
The driver fled towards Ostalbkreis and was later seen in Degenfeld. There he continued his rapid journey along forest and forest paths, with at least one other car driver having to brake sharply and swerve onto the grass verge to avoid a collision. Despite a stop stick that the police had put out at the entrance to Iggingen, the driver continued to flee. Finally he stopped in a field between Göggingen and Schechingen, tried to escape on foot, but was temporarily arrested.
Legal consequences and dangers in traffic
The driver who was driving without a license now faces serious legal consequences. The incident raises questions about the criminal implications of fleeing police. According to the regulations of Sections 315 ff. of the Criminal Code (StGB), dangerous interventions in road traffic can be punished if the safety of other road users is endangered. This also includes driving without a license, which poses a direct threat to public traffic.
The legislature sees this as a specific dangerous crime. In similar cases, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has determined that a concrete risk must be proven for a conviction under Section 315b of the Criminal Code. When assessing escape cases, it should also be noted that simply escaping does not per se count as violent resistance to law enforcement officers. Rather, certain conditions must be met for the escape to be classified as a criminal offense. anwalt.de

Such incidents highlight the need for high-level measures to increase road safety. The police have the right to stop road users and check their vehicle documents. Drivers who ignore a stop requirement not only risk a fine, but also points in Flensburg. bussgeldkatalog.org

Victims and witness statements are crucial to clarifying the facts, while public interest in a safe transport environment remains high.
