School-bound Journey: A Father Navigates Without a Driver's License, Ferrying His Child Instead

On Monday morning, September 1, 2025, a 61-year-old Bielefeld resident found himself in a sticky situation when a district police officer stopped him while driving his car in the Sieker district. The incident took place around 8:10 AM.

The officer had noticed that the driver, known to be without a valid driver's license, was behind the wheel. Despite this, the resident continued to assert his desire to drive, even when the officer attempted to issue a citation.

The resident was driving his child to school at the time, which added an extra layer of complexity to the situation. However, for the safety of all involved, the officer impounded the car.

The car impoundment was not related to a traffic violation other than the driver's lack of a valid driver's license. It was carried out for safety reasons due to unclear ownership and the 61-year-old's insistence on driving.

For further information, you can visit the official website of Police Headquarters Bielefeld. The contact information for the Press and Public Relations department includes multiple phone numbers and an email address. Inquiries outside of office hours can be directed to the Control center.

It should be noted that the name of the police officer who stopped the 61-year-old driver without a license on September 1, 2025, on Neue Straße in Bielefeld and confiscated his car has not been disclosed in the search results.

This incident serves as a reminder to always ensure that you have a valid driver's license before getting behind the wheel. Safety should always be a priority, both for the driver and for others on the road.
