A MAN being taught to drive by his younger brother may need a few more lessons after ploughing the car through a showroom warehouse in Woree last night. 
  
The pair – one aged 23 from Mooroobool and one aged 32 from Manunda – were in a Toyota Camry carrying “L” plates when the older man reportedly drove the car off the road in Ponzo St about 6.15pm.

The car appeared to have knocked over a bollard before smashing through the middle showroom window, travelling through an internal wall in the building then stopping against a rear window.

Emergency services attended the scene but nobody was transported to hospital.
The warehouse was vacant at the time as it is understood to be up for lease.
Police believe the accident was a result of nothing more than complete inexperience.
