    Seeing videos like this really make me wonder how there aren't more accidents. Sure in the grand scheme of things this was minor but how does this driver deal with a busy highway?

    She needs to rethink driving, maybe she needs to hail a taxi next time

    Rethink? It is a streach that thinking took place at all. There's no question that she has a legitimate complaint against the building. I'm sure I saw it jump right out in front of her.

    Mysterious video.
    So many odd things going on there.
    Bet she was talking on her cell phone too.

    I would like to know what she hit off camera, another car or a wall?

    :yikes: Judging by the bounce, I'm going with wall. I think she hit the gas instead of the brake too.:rolleyes:

    That's what I think too.
    I wonder why she stopped for so long at the entrance, before hurtling at the wall? :confused5:
    Weird video.

    Once you knew you had hit the wall, why would you keep going? I agree with hitting the gas by stupidity. Some parking garages are very narrow, however.

    I would not actually go through with it but I would be curious as to the possibility of suing the Province/State for issuing a license to someone incompetent.
