Marco Reus handed the biggest driving fine in German history.



German national team player and Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus,25 has been fined €540,000, equivalent of  $664,667 after police discovered he has been driving without a license for the past three years.

Marco Reus was apparently stopped while driving his Aston Martin through the streets of Dortmund after practice with the team. The Bundesliga pro had his ID card with him but no driver's license. A routine police check then uncovered that he did not have a valid license at all.

 Reus had also been caught by speed cameras five times for driving too fast, the first incident being in September 2011. He'd apparently paid the speeding fines each time, but officials never noticed he didn't have a valid driver's license until now.


Reus took driving lessons at 18, but never took the license test. Everything was working out fine, so Reus just went with it. "I then unfortunately decided to go that route. I can not comprehend the reasons even today." he said
