Keith Moon: Worst Driver Ever Crashes in Pool

Let's assume that when Keith Moon crashed that legendary car into the hotel swimming pool, it was a lot cooler than this.

In a whirlwind of poor decisions and outright stupidity, a Bellevue, Wash. woman nearly died after crashing a car into a swimming pool. The unnamed 20-year-old driver didn’t have a driver’s license, only a learner’s permit, when she showed up at a friend’s house to test drive a car. Proving she’s not quite ready for her road test, the driver confused the brake and the gas pedals, sending the car smashing over a utility box, into a tree, through a fence and ultimately into an apartment complex’s swimming pool.

Because she couldn’t operate the gas and brake, it should come as no surprise to find she couldn’t figure out how to roll down the window, either. She was trapped in the sinking car when firefighters arrived, breaking out the rear window to pull her from the sinking vehicle.

On her short but eventful test drive, the woman didn’t drive on public property, so no files were charged.

Adding insult to injury, the car was uninsured.
