Which pedal does what again?
Driving off the dealer lot after all the papers are signed and the keys are handed over is a momentous occasion. This is it, you're key to independence (or monthly payments) and even more memories to be had. Just don't screw this up, okay? Don't be like this guy in the video.
The story appeared on Motoroids, an Indian based automotive website, where some background is given on how easy it is to get a license thanks to what appears to be a total lack of proper training and actual enforcement. Basically the system sucks and almost anyone can get their hands on a driver's license without much issue. Hence what happens next.

I have heard that come state drivers license bureaus removed the road test for COVID.
Lol. And they were clapping as he drove off.
Why do some cars have three pedals when I only have two feet?
He got a VW, but always wanted a Rolls.
you have 10 toes- so cars need 7 more pedals
Only if you drive not wearing shoes.
Aw, they had it decorated and everything.
Looks awfully lightweight to flip like a toy.
As easily as it flips, I expect there was one of those pistons used for stunts hidden outside that fence. Makes a good video, though.
lol- party pooper-
I could swear I’ve seen this video before, years ago.
My first car was a '69 red VW.
I got so I could hold the clutch on the steepest of grades. Not good for the clutch.
Now, I'm a big girl and have a 2008 SmartCar and my mother's '97 Taurus.
I've always wanted a Ferrari...a bright red one.
The Italians make BEAUTIFUL cars. They don't work very well but they ARE beautiful.
The Germans make fabulous cars but they aren't "beautiful."
My husband was a mechanical engineer and HIS choice for a car was anything that got us from point A to point B.
I see what the problem was. The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.
Hit a fence post at 5mph and the car flips over.
Nice....
LOL
“Why do some cars have three pedals when I only have two feet?”
You are young. I remember dimmer and starter buttons on the floorboard.
Looks like the guy had never been behind the wheel of a car before.
The over correcting he did, and the swerving, are things I’ve seen only with very inexperienced drivers.
Years ago in the Navy ...
Dude reenlisted for six over two (eight years) and took his entire bonus out and bought a new GT350.
Totaled it before he got home.
Cash deal, no insurance.
