Driving lesson fail..

[kalniel]

A learner driver taking her second lesson managed to flip her instructor's car on to its roof in Oxford.

I'm impressed how the instructor took it: "accidents happen"

Holy crap, how the hell is that possible? It is like that video of the woman pulling out of some gates/car park thing. And somehow manges to partially drive up the gate, and flip over

I don't know, but maybe the shape of the car is such that once you actually tip it on its side it naturally rolls onto the roof. Though getting it on its side in the first place is quite impressive.

The woman, in her mid-20s

explains everything

Agreed, I am quite a rough driver and had a few close calls. But there is no way I could get that thing on its side even if I tried.

I sense she has a future as a female stunt driver

If they roll that easily I am never even getting into a Fiat 500! They must be incredibly unstable...

I knew a bloke who dropped his bike when doing the motorcycle test. Luckily for him it was one of the old-fashioned tests where they stood at the kerb and watched you. he fell off just out of sight, scrambled back on, and managed to successfully complete the test !

Kind of reminds me of this one, not worried if someone tells you your car has been hit by a stone?

Most cars generally aren't that stable when you hit a pillar at an angle....

More pictures at The Daily Wail.

Also, this picture I found on the internet a while ago. I can't remember where it's from now.

Is there a good reason (situation) where the instructor is better off letting the car tip over than stop the car (there is a brake on the instructor side of those cars).
