A contestant on a Dutch TV show "Who Is The Worst Driver In The Netherlands?" lived up to his name by running over the show's host during the filming of the last episode.

According to various sources, the contestant, known as Pim, was in the middle of 'braking during a speed test' when he took his eyes off the road and started to run over traffic cones. TV personality Ruben Nicolai was watching when the accident occurred.

The car left the road and ran into both a cameraman and Nicolai. Pim closed his eyes as it happened.

There were two female passengers, the instructor and Pim's friend, in the car at the time. No one was seriously injured.

Video footage of the auto-accident has since attracted a record 1.2 million viewers on YouTube. Pim's license has since been revoked.

Take a look at what happened here.
