The accident in Dresden's Old Town highlighted an issue of potential criminality, as it’s unusual for a 15-year-old to be driving a car. The police are investigating how the teen obtained the vehicle. The accident site was a busy traffic area in Saxony's capital, attracting the local authorities, including Dresden's traffic police. Despite the incident being a cautionary tale, some might still disregard the warnings given by traffic lawyers not to speak with the police after accidents.
