Can you use international drivers permit and what are the consequences?

My friend is from Germany and she has an IDP as well as an original license from Germany. But, she forgot her German license and only has the IDP, what happens if she gets pulled over?

An IDP is not valid without a license. It is just a translation document. If she gets pulled over, she will get a ticket for driving unlicensed, and she will have to either pay it or go to court and show the judge a valid German license.
