The driver’s test instructor in Argentina had no foresight of the impending chaos that was about to unfold. The sequence of events started innocently enough, without a hint of the impending pandemonium. The suspense gradually mounted for the audience, leading up to an abrupt and dramatic conclusion.
It’s important to note that the woman at the wheel was hospitalized with minor injuries following the incident, which is far from humorous. However, with the understanding that her injuries were minor and she is safe, it’s hard to resist a chuckle at the sheer suddenness of the situation spiraling out of control.
At the commencement of the video, the driver of the Volkswagen Gol (not a typo, the Gol is a compact South American hatchback smaller than the Golf) cautiously navigates a roundabout. As she completes the circuit, the hazard lights on the car catch the eye. Unusual, but not alarming; perhaps an accidental button press.
Things then took a turn for the worse. Accelerating forcefully out of the roundabout, she grazed the curb, sped over a speed bump too swiftly, then hit another curb. Subsequently, she disregarded a stop sign, veered excessively wide, drove onto grass, and ultimately careened into a lamppost, causing the car to flip over. In a bizarre twist, while the car lay on its side, she seemingly pressed the accelerator again, releasing a large plume of smoke from the exhaust, a surreal coda to the chaotic ordeal.
Although her injury is no laughing matter, with gratitude that her injuries were minor, the sheer unexpected madness of the situation at the climax makes it almost impossible not to burst into laughter from the sheer shock of it all.
