Woman fails driving test within ten seconds after flipping car

A woman could have set the record for failing a driving test in the quickest time after she flipped her car within seconds of starting a practical exam.

Footage of the incident that shows the unfortunate lady crashing her vehicle in less than ten seconds has become an online hit after it was posted on YouTube.

It currently has over 500,000 views.

The 31 second dashboard camera clip from South Korea is made even more amusing by the frantic pleas of the driving instructor who unsuccessfully tries to avert the crash.

He realises things aren’t going to plan when his student immediately swerves to the left and heads towards some hedges.

He desperately calls out for her to brake but instead she keeps going and then topples the car.

The woman shouts ‘Oh my, what do we do?’ when the vehicle turns, according to 9News.

This elicits an angry response from her passenger who replies: ‘That’s why I told you to press the brakes.

‘What were you pressing?

‘I’m going to go crazy — get out of the car.’

Driving a car, probably not a good idea. I guess no one was hurt? The article didn't say, so I guess everyone was OK.

Then apparently forgot to put it in park and engage the emergency brake...

Looks like she hit that door pretty hard. Probably would be better off with a Smart car or something smaller. Bet she doesn't make that mistake again!
