Kurt Coleman is without a doubt an Instagram expert.
But when it comes to securing his provisional licence, 'he probably needs a few more lessons.'
That's according to his manager Alex Reid, who had to step in to reverse parallel park the 20-year-old's car during a Sydney road trip that started with a tasty sausage roll, but ended in heartbreak when his car hit the curb and his Calippo ice block hit the ground.
From tasty to tragedy: Kurt Coleman's Sydney road trip started with a tasty sausage roll, but ended with hearbreak when his car hit the curb and his Calippo ice-block hit the floor
The Instagram sensation's popular learning to drive Youtube series will likely be upset that it missed out on capturing his action-packed drive on Thursday.
Kurt's nightmare trip started before it even began, when the self-professed selfie-lover struggled mightily with applying his Learner plates to a standard that complies with Roads and Maritime Service's strict guidelines.
Dressed in tailored jeans that cuffed well above the ankle, his attempt at getting his yellow L plates to stay attached was decidedly less breezy than his flowing Tommy Hilfigger tall-tee.
Settling for an abstract placement that more closely resembled the number 7, Kurt hit the road blissfully unaware of the conflict he'd soon become acquainted with.

That will do! Settling for an abstract placement that more closely resembled the number 7, Kurt hit the road blissfully unaware of the conflict he'd soon become acquainted with
Next, the Sydneysider was seen attempting the manoeuvre he'd likely be asked to demonstrate in a driving test, opening his car to see why his four-wheel-drive wasn't co-operating with his express instructions.
Things didn't go to plan, and the satiated satisfaction he was granted at the hands of a warm Four And Twenty sausage roll quickly turned to frustration when he mounted the curb.
Luckily, 'no plants were harmed' his manager revealed to Daily Mail Australia.

Who did this? Unfortunately, things didn't go to plan, and the satiated satisfaction he was granted at the hands of his sausage roll quickly turned to frustration when he mounted the curb
Oh it was me! Luckily, 'no plants were harmed' his manager revealed to Daily Mail Australia
Shortly after the incident, the personality unsheathed a previously concealed Calippo ice block, which was 'a bit mushy' since it's original purchase, Alex explained.
Reclining his legs through his car's open window, he shot a carefree expression that proved he was unfazed by the setback.
Photographs showed his manager and friend correcting the error, but with all the commotion of his car being parked and the curbside encounter, Kurt didn't pay enough attention to his Lemon Calippo.
Let's take 5! Shortly after the incident, the personality unsheathed a previously concealed Calippo ice block, which was 'a bit mushy' since it's original purchase Alex said
The dramatic scenes were also caught on camera, with a few short sections of inattention all that was necessary for the ice block to begin to squelch out of its tubular packaging.
Sadly, the Instagram sensation was not the next surface to come into contact with the zesty lemon treat, which spilled out of its packaging and onto the pavement below.
Luckily, Kurt's car was parked far enough away from the curb to allow him ample room to scoop it up back up, although despite the naughty look on his face, he is not believed to have taken another bite.

Never one to dwell on past mistakes, Kurt quickly threw the task over to his manager, exiting the vehicle before strolling defiantly to the curbside to help back the car in.
During the drive, the in-demand personality managed to multi-task with a quick, hearty Sausage roll as he cruised around the city streets.
He was spotted taking a bite of the foil-wrapped treat as he appeared to be stopped at the lights.

Cars behind him may have drawn concern that he'd miss the lights changing as he was spotted having a moment with the iconic Australian delicacy.
He closed his eyes and moved his fingers to his lips to ensure he didn't miss a single piece.
Of the decision to eat and drive, manager Alex said that as as a busy person 'you eat on the go wherever you can.'

He also revealed the drive was in an attempt to get Kurt's learner hours up, and practice his reverse parallel parking.
Speaking of the incident, Alex expressed confidence that his talent was making strides to earn his provisional licence, and that the reverse parallel park was the last obstacle for him to overcome.
'It shows that he probably needs a few more lessons,' he admitted.

Of the tragic fate of his friend's ice block, he said Kurt was: 'trying to do much at once.'
Adding: 'It's always disappointing to drop a Calippo.'
Kurt is an Instagram sensation, regularly sharing selfies to his 161,000 followers.
In the last few weeks, he's had a heated enco unter with a beach lifeguard, and was spotted on a grocery trip that counted a watermelon among its casualties.
