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.

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.
