Chinese woman smashes car into salon while reversing

This is how not to reverse

CCTV footage shows the moment a driver accidentally reversed her cat at speed into the front of a beauty salon in China.

Captured in the Jiangsu Province last week, the video shows the driver slowly driving along a road in front of several shops. The woman behind the wheel then turns her car to the left and begins to reverse backwards into a parking spot.

However, for some reason, her initially tentative driving gives way to a sudden burst in speed that produces some catastrophic results - mainly for the beauty salon nearby.

Fortunately, the shop was closed at the time and the driver escaped without injury.
