Drift girl Leona gives driving instructors a lesson

Top Malaysian drift driver Leona Chin plays key role in classic internet prank.

Here's a clever trick, pulled off by one of the most talented female drivers in the world - Leona Chin.

The 28-year-old Malaysian is a drift expert, capable of holding a car in lurid opposite lock stances with smoke pluming off the tyres for seemingly hours on end.

But when she put on a 'hopeless first-timer' act for a driving school that wanted to give its new instructors a first day they'd never forget, the tutors fell for it hook, line and sinker.

The reactions of the instructors range from the impressed through the terrified to the downright angry, but it's hugely amusing to watch Leona step it up a notch after her bumbling initial efforts behind the wheel.

Although it does beggar the question: when these people were getting into a pretty extreme-looking Nissan Silvia complete with Bride bucket seats, what precisely did they think was going to happen next...?
