Snakes on a Plane? Well now, snakes have discovered cars.

Two startled teens from Raleigh, North Carolina, managed to capture a video Monday of a large snake slithering up the passenger side window. Oh and the car was speeding along.

You can hear the pair of teens panicking as the serpent makes it way up the window to the top of the roof.

The driver stepped on the gas and eventually the snake flew off the car, according to CBS Los Angeles. Hopefully it doesn’t try to hitch a ride on some other unsuspecting drivers car.
