What the hell was she thinking?

A drunk driver unintentionally filmed her own crash while speeding and using Snapchat behind the wheel of her car.

The footage from Victoria, Australia shows a woman videoing her driving on the social media app, then veering off road and crashing into a pole.

Luckily the woman escaped without series injury from the incident but Victoria Police have shared the footage online as a warning to other road users about the dangers of drink driving, as well as using your phone while driving.

In a post online they wrote,

“Oh snap! This is footage of a driver’s Snapchat video taken seconds before she ran off the road and crashed, thankfully without serious injury. The driver was charged with speeding, careless driving, a blood alcohol reading of 0.164 and using a mobile phone while driving.”

Police have used the footage as evidence to charge her with a number of offences including speeding, careless driving, drink driving and using a mobile phone while driving.
