Student Driver Crashes Car Through Front Of Driving School
A student driver in Washington state learned the subtle difference between the gas pedal and the brake on Friday when she crashed into a driving school.

Authorities in Bellevue snapped a quick photo of the scene. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Pretty obvious what happened here. The instructor and student were finished with lessons for the day and the instructor stated, "we need to head back into the school to sign some papers". The student obliged.

Let's hope this doesn't resurrect the old Audi unintended acceleration nonsense from the '80's. The press loves to jump all over things like that.

Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes, who led with the 1986 Audi 5000 story, passed away in 2006, so we're probably ok on that possibility.
