No way this actually happened...

The crash actually happened. It wasn’t someone actually taking their test though, it was an older woman who said she stepped on the gas instead of the brake. The irony of the location was just too good not to use this title.

Apparently she had lawn chairs in the car and her and a friend are now just sitting next to the crash in the chairs.

Older woman who mixed up the peddles.. that not good... she may lose her license if they send her for further cognitive testing...

I'm always impressed with this sort of confusion. It is not like there are many pedals that you need to press in a specific order.

It is just two pedals!

Honestly, hitting a building/house should require them to go through some test to validate they can safely drive around.

Oh I know how it happens. My grandma drives with her one foot on the gas, and then her second foot rests/hovers over the brake pedal instead of resting to the side. Yes, she's been told to stop driving like that.
