Smarty's Learn To Drive School!

Just imagine what went through the mind of a Cebu Pacific pilot recently on his arrival at Legazpi airport, in the Philippines.

Right as he touched down with 80 passengers on board, a van sped over the tarmac in front of him, directly across the path of the hurtling plane.

A local aviation official's son was teaching his girlfriend how to drive. At an airport. At a busy airport being used. On The Runway. AS A PLANE WAS LANDING.

The pilot pulled the plane's nose off the tarmac and managed to get the plane airborne for a go-around, landing safely the second time. The aviation official, who had presumably granted his son access to the airport, has been suspended from duty.

There is no word on whether the girlfriend has passed her driving test.
