A test drive at a Nissan dealership in the United States ended unusually when a customer, apparently without realizing it, left the car in reverse and left the vehicle. The result was a slight accident: the car began to move alone and crashed into another vehicle parked in the store’s courtyard.
The situation was recorded by security cameras and shared at Tiktok by O’Neil Nissan general manager Drew Pearlman, viralizing on social networks.

According to Pearlman, the customer would not have placed the exchange rate in the parking position before leaving the car. The video aroused doubts among netizens, who questioned how someone leaves a vehicle without hearing the sound alerts that indicate that it is still geared. Experts explain that while most modern cars issue warnings, mechanical failures or distractions can lead to this kind of carelessness.
In situations like this, the legislation requires dealers to have fleet insurance to cover damage caused during test drives. In most cases, drivers are also considered insured during the test. However, some stores may require the customer to sign a liability term, transferring guilt in the event of accidents.
In the case disclosed, the damage was small and probably absorbed by the concessionaire itself to preserve the relationship with the client.
