Lad loses licence in less than hour

A TEENAGER managed to lose his driving licence – just 49 minutes after getting it.

The 18- year- old was returning from his successful driving test when cops snared his car with a laser speed gun.

He was clocked doing almost twice the speed limit at 60mph in a 30mph zone.

Police wrote in their statement of the incident: “Some things last for ever – others not for an hour.”

The young man had four friends in the car with him, regional police in Märkischer Kreis, Germany, said.

They speculated that perhaps he was trying to impress with his driving skills.

He has been formally banned for four weeks, and is also facing a £ 180 fine and two points on his licence – once it is restored.
