Student Taking Driver’s Test Crashes Car Through the School’s Window

Well, it doesn’t take more than about a blink of an eye to realize that this driver’s ed student failed to pass her exam. Luckily, nobody was injured during the incident, but she may have won the prize for the worst future driver in town.

The young female motorist was taking her final test behind the wheel of an Audi A3 sedan, when she somehow managed to plow it through the front of the driver instruction building on Friday morning, in Bellevue. Judging by their post, it would appear the Police Department itself took an ironic approach when they posted the news on Facebook.

“This morning, a student arriving to take a driving test failed before they even started. There were no injuries to the driver, occupants of the building, or the Shasta Cola machine inside.” Well, at least now we know people will live to drink the sweet beverage yet another day. What happened, though, we wonder.

According to Komo News, a preliminary investigation found that the student, a woman in her 20s who is new to the country, was just finishing up her final driving test and was pulling into the parking space in front of the driving school when the crash occurred.

“Unfortunately, that student mistook the gas pedal for the brake, sending the vehicle into the building,” a police spokesman said. Here’s the irony: “she was doing great up until that very last part... (and she) did drive through a plate glass window, so that was a fail on the test,” added the police officer.

No damage was sustained by the car, no people were injured, but she may be asked to pay for the broken window, which clearly needs to be replaced with a new one. Like most of these stories, it doesn’t have to be a sad one. In fact, in our experience, those who mistake the gas pedal with the brake and mess up regularly never do it again.
