Yahoo Autos A Woman Flipped A Kia Seltos Over Onto A Busy Beach In Australia
Australians on vacation at Balmoral Beach witnessed a bizarre crash on Monday after a young woman drove a Kia Seltos into a concrete barrier, flipping the crossover clean over onto a part of the beach that was luckily unoccupied at the time, as 7 News Australia reports.

Sydney police claim to have breath-tested the driver for alcohol, but the test came back negative, suggesting that the driver was sober at the time.

That would indicate the driver is not fully-licensed yet, and it’s possible that she’s still learning how to operate her vehicle safely. Either way, it’s all about smooth inputs. That is, whether a car is in Drive or Reverse, there’s no need to gun it at the parking lot. Ever.
