A terrified driver had a live SNAKE wrapping itself around her leg.
Jarunee Wongsawat, 56, was travelling home when she noticed the reptile on her left leg in Chonburi, eastern Thailand.
The driver screamed and shook it off before pulling into a mechanic's garage to plead for help.
Footage shows the 3ft long rat snake peering out from under the steering wheel while Jarunee sits still in the driving seat trying not to provoke it.
Mechanic had to them disassemble the car console so rescue workers could find the serpent.
They later found the 3ft long rat snake hiding among the wires and pulled it out before releasing it back to the wild.
The relieved driver Jarunee said she was shocked as she felt the snake coiling around her leg, but she managed to compose herself.
Jarunee said: "I was genuinely shocked as the snake slithered up my leg but then I tried to talk to and tell it not to harm me. It then slithered back into the console.
"Fortunately, I did not panic otherwise I could have crashed the car and it would have been such a horrible accident."
