A woman has recently claimed internet’s attention after she test drove a BMW’s new X1 plug-in hybrid for the Chinese market. Now, nothing seems weird or bizarre about test-driving a new car, but here’s what happened.
While driving, the lady confused the accelerator pedal for the brakes and drove the car right into the dealership office. CCTV footage from the BMW dealership in Guangzhou, capital of South China’s Guangdong province clearly shows her approaching the entrance.
While the viewers thought she’d park in full speed, the woman did not stop and smashed the doors and windows of the office and came right inside. Fortunately, the shocked staffed quickly managed to move out of the way and no one was hurt.
The local authorities are still looking into the details of the accident. The poor woman seemed to have simply confused the two operating pedals in the car. From what we know, she became a clear victim of this moment of panic and ended up pushing the closest pedal to try and stop the car.
