BERJAYAIf you've got to go somewhere over this snowy Christmas, make sure you drive carefully. Also, you probably want to make sure you don't do something so stupid you become a YouTube hit.

Step forward the anonymous BMW driver who recently managed to crash her car into a house without even being behind the wheel at the time.

It all started when the blundering woman tried to take her 1 Series BMW out the other day but couldn't get it going because of the ice and snow.

Initially she tried clearing ice from the front wheels (despite it being a rear-wheel drive car) and looked surprised when it didn't work. Then she decided more drastic action was needed.

So she slipped the automatic car into "drive" and tried to push the vehicle free, presumably hoping to jump back in the car once it was moving and drive off.

But (as you may have guessed from the headline) it didn't go to plan, and the car sped away from her and smashed into a nearby house. Oops. Keep reading to see the (slightly NSFW, due to cursing) footage.
