Driver Training

An unidentified 22-year-old man was taking a driving test with a license examiner near The Hague, Netherlands, when he got stuck on a railroad track. The driver and the examiner ran for safety just before a train rammed the car, dragging it 150 meters down the track. But the car came right back to them — a second train coming the other direction hit the car and dragged it back other way. (Reuters) ...The examiner failed the man, noting “He didn’t know whether he was coming or going.”
