Officials with the Polizei NRW Märkischer Kreis said in a statement on Facebook that the teen, who had four friends in the car with him for his celebratory ride, faces a fine of 200 euros, or about $227 in U.S. currency, expensive retraining and an extension of his probationary period, which the BBC said would go from two to four years. He also has been banned from driving until he undergoes the retraining.
"Manche Dinge halten für die Ewigkeit… manche nicht mal eine Stunde," police officials wrote on Facebook, a phrase which translates to, "Some things last for eternity… some not even an hour."
When the teen's license is returned, he will already have two points against him on his driving record, the BBC reported.
