I don't think it's just women. I've seen plenty of stories like this about men. What nearly all of them have in common is that the drivers are elderly and in a car with an automatic gearbox.

Old folks buy them thinking they'll easier to drive if they're not quite as mobile as they used to be then one day for some reason panic, stamp on the gas and end up upside down in Radio Rentals or slowly sinking in a canal.

The point about this one is that she is paently in her 20/30s, not elderly at all. I just wonder what she was taking, that's all.

That's the thing isn't it, I see someone "take" a corner like that and think what would happen if she was turning some people who were waiting to cross.. Mowing down a few people on the pavement isn't really ideal.. I mean, just how s**t a driver do you have to be to do all that??

I can't get to the comments on this computer, but that looks like South Korea. That driving doesn't shock me at all. Standards here really are amazingly poor!

A 57 year old woman is described as "a pensioner"?! I know society thinks you're old and decrepit as soon as you're into your 30's but that's harsh.

I very much doubt it's driving lessons.
