That’s what happened to Ted Ogier recently in Australia. He was driving on the South Coast of New South Wales when a snake slithered out from under his hood!

And this was not just any serpent. This was a large red-bellied black snake, a venomous species. As it moved to the car’s side-view mirror, Ogier made the executive decision to pull the car over and take care of business.

Thanks to a little help from his boss, the duo were able to use a broom and escort the snake safely to a nearby bush.
