PRETEND LIKE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

PK Kemsley's got enough drama with his divorce ... but now he's adding smashing into his neighbors' car to the mix!

Check out this video from Tuesday in Los Angeles -- PK backed his $120K Range Rover out on the street, straight into a Toyota RAV4 owned by his neighbor’s caregiver ... then casually drove off like nothing happened.

Although in fairness, trying to reverse while subconsciously searching for paparazzi hiding in bushes is probably not recommended by Land Rover."
