It's hard to teach someone drive, especially if the student runs the car over the instructor after drinking. A 51-year-old man from Naples, Florida was hit by the same woman he was giving a driving lesson when she reportedly put the car in reverse and hit him, accidentally running over his leg. Victoria Hosner, 30 now faces DUI charges after running over driving instructor David Tanner. She also caused an estimated $6,000 in damage. The Naples (Fla. ) Daily News reports Hosner, who blew a blood alcohol level of . 146, well above the state's . 08 legal limit, was released from jail on $4,250 bail.
