Buying a brand new car is supposed to be one of the happiest
moments in a person’s life, but for one poor motorist the
experience turned from a dream into a nightmare the moment he
put his foot on the gas at the dealership.
A video that shows an Indian man getting ready to drive his
brand new Kia Carnival minivan out of the dealership, only to
drive it straight into a wall and deploying its airbags has been
doing the rounds on social media. The footage shows the buyer
getting behind the wheel of the brand new car, and an employee
of the dealership giving them some last few pointers before
letting them drive out. Things don’t exactly go according to
plan though, and the video shows the man driving off and then
slamming the new Kia straight into a concrete wall with enough
force to deploy the airbags.

I personally was convinced that this was some sort of prank or staged
video, but I couldn’t find any clues to suggest that in the video.
Everyone around seems genuinely surprised about the crash, rushing to
check if the passengers were alright, and there is definitely no faking
the damage to the vehicle.
The video was posted on BMC HD Videos YouTube channel back in June, but
it only went viral last month after being shared by Indian actor and
comedian, Sunil Grover, on his Instagram account. The number of views on
YouTube alone currently sits at over 9 million, and counting. It’s sad
when someone’s misfortune goes viral, but that’s just how the internet
works sometimes.

As you can imagine, people went to town on the driver in the comments
section, and some of their jokes were actually pretty funny.
“When you learn to drive from online classes during lockdown. #SocialDistancing,”
one YouTube user wrote.
“This guy after getting out of the car ‘Yes, airbag testing done and
successful,’ someone else commented.
