It takes a special kind of bad luck to accomplish something so freeing as passing a driver\u2019s test and then end up crashing your new car on the first cruise. One man in China had that unfortunate luck as the newly licensed Mr Zhang crashed his car in the local river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr Zhang just passed his driving test and decided to cruise along in his brand new car. Like most people, Zhang ignored a very important rule of driving – put that cellphone away.<\/p>\n

He made the ill-fated decision to check his phone, which lead to an \u2018unplanned\u2019 dip in the local river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the end result of this young motorist\u2019s gaff was ultimately just pure embarrassment instead of anything fatal.<\/p>\n

As he drove through the county of Meitan in the city of Zunyi, in the southern Chinese province of Guizhou, Zhang, whose age isn\u2019t known, was busy reading congratulatory messages from friends and loved ones after passing his test.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to local reports, his car was also newly registered \u2013 one would imagine it was waiting for the day he was legally allowed to drive.<\/p>\n

In CCTV footage, Zhang\u2019s white car can be seen turning onto Laoping Bridge. As he veers closer to the edge, instead of slamming on the brakes he steers the vehicle into the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was driving, I tried to grab my phone and read some messages while two people were in front of me on the bridge. I became nervous and turned left suddenly. Luckily, the car floated for a while. I couldn\u2019t open the driver\u2019s door so I had to kick open the door on the other side. Otherwise, I may never have got out as my hand was dislocated in the chaos,\u201d Zhang told the reporters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a newly licensed driver, Zhang should know that the maximum punishment for using your phone behind the wheel in China is two points off your license and a fine of 200 yuan. We hope that he has learned from this incident and will not be using his cellphone in the car any time soon. Stay posted for more stories.<\/p>\n
