He lets go of the wheel to cover his eyes. Great reflexes!
He must have lifted his feet off the pedals as well, because he didn't use the breaks!

(anyone have a translation for this?)

From LiveLeak:
The driver was supposed to speed up, then look over his right and left shoulder at signs half-way down the track, and choose which direction to navigate around the obstacle according to whichever sign had an arrow. Unfortunately, out of panic he hit the gas instead of the brakes. Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured- the presenter only suffered from shoulder and foot pain.

And the moron friend of the driver, was holding on to the seat belt, making it slack a lot, and could have seriously been injured in that accident.

wtf

And these people have a driving license.

When you're that incompetent at driving it should really be one of those dual control cars where the instructor has a clutch pedal and brake.

Brakes!

What was the point of this? Driving tests with hot women?

They need to make tests harder.

Because... ?

We have a version here (called, of course, Canada's Worst Driver) and they do this very same challenge. It's not unusual for the 'bad driver' to get nervous, hit the boxes (obstacle), or panic and slide off course. In fact, the way he lost control is fairly common on early attempts. The worst mistake here, is parking a car in the RUNOFF AREA just past an obstacle! what were they thinking! In our version, when this happens, the driver goes through a corn field, and the host makes silly quips about owing the farmer for lost crops. It's funny(ish), not deadly.

Because Television?

Who is the ragdoll flying around @34-35 ???

Gwiz might be able to do some translation (doubtful though)

This is exactly what I was thinking. Why would you park cars (and people) down-range, when you've just equipped this moron with a 1-ton missile?

Bunch of idiots in front of, as well as behind, the camera.>> ^nothingbot:

I hear if you look in the mirror and say "@gwiz665, gwiz665, gwiz665" he'll appear before you... Probably holding 2 beers and not wearing any pants.

This is true.
