In a video posted by DGN Driving, driving student Chloe tried her hand at a mock test but got a more chaotic journey than she was expecting.
During the course of the test, she pulled up to a standard T-junction controlled by a set of lights.
Stopping promptly for the red light, she was startled when a black Nissan SUV approached from the other direction at speed.
The vehicle flew through the red light, narrowly avoiding another car turning onto the main road.

After cutting up a third motor, the Nissan changed onto the wrong side of the road and sped on up the road.
It passed Chloe at a dangerous pace, avoiding the passenger side of her car by a matter of inches.
Baffled by the driver's behaviour, she exclaimed: "What the hell?"
However, it soon became clear why the Nissan was in such a hurry as an unmarked police car followed close behind with its sirens blaring.

The Audi roadster carrying the cops also sped through the red light, forcing a hatchback to brake sharply as it crossed the carriageway.
The police car then passed by Chloe in hot pursuit.

She added: "Oh he's in a police chase.
"That's bad timing to have this.
"That was bad.
"He's just come bombing it down here."
Sadly for Chloe, though, the chase didn't give much mitigation for the outcome of her test, as she still racked up 10 serious faults and six minor faults along the way.
However, social media commenters praised her for keeping her cool in the hectic situation.
One wrote: "This was just crazy man.
Props to Chloe for staying calm during it.
