A Bellevue driving student isn’t going home with a license, after smashing her car through the front of a driving school.

A 30-year-old driving student was arriving to take her test Friday morning, but instead of stepping on the brake as she arrived, she stepped on the accelerator and lurched forward through the glass door of the driving school.

The woman was not injured, nor was anyone inside the building, KING 5 reports.

The owner of 9-1-1 Driving School in Bellevue told the Seattle Times that the student’s confidence will have to be rebuilt, as will his store.
