The clip has just been published on the IdiotUKDriversExposed YouTube channel.

The footage is captured by a rear facing camera in a driving instructor's car.

As he tutors his student, the unfortunate rider gets closer and closer to the vehicle.

He has his head down the whole time and is clearly not looking where he's going.

He simply doesn't see the car stopped or parked in the road and face plants it, before struggling to his feet.
