NY driver's test ends with bystander in hospital
Jan 1, 3:38 PM (ET)
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a woman taking a driving test ended up pinning a bystander after losing control of the car on a snowy Westchester County road. New Rochelle police said the 23-year-old driver rounded a corner Wednesday morning, lost traction and trapped a man cleaning snow off his car. Lt. George Marshall says the examiner tried to use the test car's secondary set of brakes, but they failed.
The 33-year-old bystander has been taken to a hospital with leg and shoulder pain.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the accident was due to equipment failure, the driver's inexperience, speed or the snow. Marshall says no citations have been issued.
It's unclear whether she will have to retake the test.
In case you missed it.... It's unclear whether she will have to retake the test.

Devils advocate.... maybe she was an excellent driver, did everything right, and was going back to the starting point. If you skid on ice, there is no telling what will happen.

Yeah, I agree with this. I mean, she might have done everything right. I mean, it said her car lost traction and she skidded, can't that happen to anyone?
My Aunt actually hit the person who was administering her drivers test before the person got in the car--yeah, she failed.
