Image Credit: jd_sixtwo_ on TikTokA viral video that was posted to TikTok has been showing viewers why it is imperative for drivers to know how to drive before heading to the dealership. Otherwise, you might look like a bit of a fool when you ram into a parked car.This couple was trying to test-drive a manual car at a local dealership when things went wrong in the worst way possible. The video shows that the driver actually did know what they were doing when they first got into the car, so it was a very honest mistake.Because the car was not in neutral, when he started it and let go of the clutch, it started to roll forward. Instead of hitting the brakes to stop the car, he slammed the accelerator and drove directly into the car in front of him.AdvertisementAdvertisementIt seemed like a few people witnessed the entire thing go down, and no one was hurt as a result. Now that it's online, the video has also been liked by over 10,000 people.One Small Mistake Sent the Mustang Straight Into Another CarIn the video above, you can see the driver sit in the vehicle and check it out before actually starting it up. He didn't even have a chance to close the door or put on a seat belt before you could see the car lurch forward.You can see a woman standing in front of the car (likely someone the driver came with) who moves out of the way to give the driver room to leave the parking space. Unfortunately, this turned more into a jump as the car lunged forward instead.The car then hits what appears to be a hatchback, pushing it out of its parking space. If you look closely, you can see that the hatchback also moves a yellow vehicle behind it.Manual Drivers Immediately Spotted What Went WrongCommenters wasted absolutely no time roasting the driver, with many convinced the video proved he wasn't nearly as familiar with a manual transmission as he claimed. One of the most common jokes was that every experienced stick-shift driver instinctively "wiggles" the shifter to make sure it's in neutral, with replies like, "Bro didn't wiggle... Rookie mistake," and "Always wiggle."AdvertisementAdvertisementOthers couldn't understand how the situation escalated so quickly, questioning why the driver didn't press the brake or simply stall the car. "The brakes are the same in vehicles. How do you hit the gas pedal?" one commenter asked, while another joked, "This exactly how I be drivin' stick in my dreams."Of course, plenty of viewers focused on the financial consequences instead. Several joked that the driver had unintentionally purchased not one, but two vehicles, with comments like, "Congratulations on your new Mustang," and "You just got two new cars — one for you and one for the family."A handful of people were also genuinely curious about what happened after the crash, wondering whether insurance covered the damage or if the driver was left paying the bill himself.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
