   | I wonder if this is the worlds fastest time for losing your driving licence after passing your driving test.
 Not talking about being banned from driving when the driver has not taken their driving test!
 
 
 49 minutes after passing driving test an 18 year old in Germany got clocked doing 95km/hr in a 50 km/hr zone resulting in an instant 4 week ban.
 
 
 Quote:
 The young man had four friends in the car with him, regional police in Märkischer Kreis said - and speculated that perhaps he was trying to impress with his driving skills.
 
 Instead, he now faces a hefty punishment.
 
 He has been formally banned for four weeks, but police said he would only get his licence back after "expensive retraining".
 
 He is also facing a €200 fine, two points on his licence once it is restored, and his probationary period as a new driver has been lengthened from two years to four.
