Woman seeking license sends car into canal
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - A 19-year-old woman may have to practice a little more after driving a borrowed taxi into a canal just before she was scheduled to take her driver's license test Wednesday, authorities said.
The woman's neighbor, a Broward Taxi Co. cab driver, drove her to the Pompano Beach license testing office and agreed to let the woman practice driving around the parking lot in his car before she took the test, city spokeswoman Sandra King said.
"He said the next thing he knew she was driving through the bushes and into the canal," King said. "He ran over and pulled her out of the car."
"Obviously, she did not take or pass her driver's test," King added.
No one was hurt in the incident and no charges were pending.
"It was purely an accident," King said.
The identities of the woman and the cab driver were not immediately available.
