0:00:02 > 0:00:04'Four kids fed up with Mum and Dad's driving.'
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- That's too fast! - I'm all right.- You're not!
0:00:06 > 0:00:10'Four parents who have fallen into bad habits.'
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Dad, you're driving too fast!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15'Ten days to change their ways, before facing
0:00:15 > 0:00:18'the ultimate driving test and our examiner Sandra.'
0:00:18 > 0:00:20That could be some kid on a bike.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Just sad about Rhys. Could have been him.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29'Join CBBC on a quest to create a nation of safer road users.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:40'Find out who will pass and who will fail.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43'This...is Driving Academy.'
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Joe Swash and welcome to CBBC's Driving Academy,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58here in St Athan, Wales.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We've ten days to fix four parents' bad driving habits
0:01:00 > 0:01:03and bad behaviour on the roads.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We'll be putting their children in the driving seat, too,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10so they'll experience what it's like to be a safe road user,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and hopefully, pass it on to their parents.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's get this show on the road!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Slow down, you dumpling!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21'Coming up on today's Driving Academy...
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Stunt dummy, Mr C, highlights a huge danger on the road -
0:01:25 > 0:01:26'driver distraction.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30'The teams smash through a steering themed Superskills Challenge.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Aw, backside!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35'Our super-tough examiner Sandra will be awarding those
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'all-important pass marks at the end of the day.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41'Not forgetting, there's a dirty forfeit if they fail!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43'It'll be tough so our drivers best watch out!'
0:01:48 > 0:01:51'Let's meet the teams about to face the Driving Academy...
0:02:01 > 0:02:03'They have one thing in common -
0:02:03 > 0:02:08'the kids think their parents' driving needs improving.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'Each day, we will be teaching our rookies
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'a different part of road safety,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20'which they can hopefully pass on to their parents.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23'They aren't allowed to drive on public roads,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27'but at the Driving Academy's test centre, anything is possible.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31'In charge of our learner lessons is the Academy's elite instructor,
0:02:31 > 0:02:32'Vicky Lovell.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37'With 24 years instructing, she knows every angle of road safety.'
0:02:37 > 0:02:41When you learn to drive it's key to realise what a responsibility it is.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43'Although Vicky may appear a passenger,
0:02:43 > 0:02:48'she has a set of dual controls so our rookies are always safe.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52'This first lesson is car control.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53'Here we go!'
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- We're going to stop. You ready?- No!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Foot on the brake, keep the clutch down.- Ooh!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Now, put your foot on the brake.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- (Ooh!)- Ah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Bring the clutch up.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- Oop!- Ooh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Bring the clutch up a tiny bit more. - OK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Smile for the camera, then!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19'While our kids aren't finding driving easy,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'our parents head for real roads with our examiner, Sandra Dodson.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25'Testing drivers for over 20 years,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28'there isn't much she doesn't know about road safety.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'Sandra's keen to find out how bad our drivers really are.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36'Over-confident Andy is in the firing line first,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39'as he comes under pressure trying to park.'
0:03:39 > 0:03:40That's not good.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42'You always this careless, Andy?'
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'In the car with Dad, you feel nervous,'
0:03:45 > 0:03:47like, you're going to die,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50cos he's dangerous and doesn't know how to drive!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I trained as a jockey when I was young
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and that has a lot to do with my driving.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Once a jockey, always a jockey.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01'At the Academy, Molly appears cautious
0:04:01 > 0:04:03'and it seems to be working.'
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Hold it still.- Yey!- Concentrate.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Good girl. That's better.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Molls! Keep your hands on the wheel!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15You feel good, really proud of yourself,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18when you're going, steering, and turning around.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22'Eagle-eyed Sandra has put nervy Michelle on edge
0:04:22 > 0:04:24'as she attempts
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'to reverse park into a space.'
0:04:28 > 0:04:32'How far are you from the kerb?! You could get a bus in there!'
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Will I go again? - See if you can sort it out.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38'Why is she getting so flustered?'
0:04:38 > 0:04:42She started off with one bump, then she had another in the same month
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and now she's awful!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Jono says I'm a nervous driver.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I tell him, wait till you drive and see what it's like!
0:04:50 > 0:04:55'Well, Jono is driving and I have to say...he's doing rather well!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58'Are these two definitely related?!'
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Look at you go!- Doing a nice ten miles an hour!- Oh, yes!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Well, in a way,
0:05:02 > 0:05:07when I did it myself, my mum's driving looks a bit worse, really!
0:05:08 > 0:05:13'Next up to face the test is speed-loving Cliff.'
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Being honest, I drive faster than I should do.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Limits are there for a reason.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23If the speed limit is 40 miles per hour, I could be doing 60, maybe.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26He shouldn't speed and go over the limit,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29that's why I'm taking him to Driving Academy.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32'Manisha doesn't have the same problem with speed.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35'But, em...Manisha? Where are you going?'
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Straight, towards me.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40VICKY LAUGHS
0:05:40 > 0:05:41This isn't very straight!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Now straight, down there.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47The steering was the hardest bit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I could control the pedals but steering was quite hard.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Next time, I'll show I can steer well.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59'Last up for Sandra is green team's careless driver, Sarah.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Rhys would say my driving is scary. I prefer to call it 'relaxed.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I can rescue this.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Well, it's a method.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12'Not great but it can't all be bad.'
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I want you to turn your car around to face the opposite way.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18'Oh! Watch that kerb!'
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That wasn't too bad(!)
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Not too bad?! Bless.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25'Sandra's not impressed. Sarah didn't use her mirrors.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28'What does she think they're for?'
0:06:28 > 0:06:31She does her make-up whilst driving.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33She's got her knees up, going...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Done!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37'That casual style has rubbed off on Rhys.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40'He's really letting loose.'
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Good, and now put on a little gas for me.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Whoa, off the gas!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47'Slow down, Rhys lightning!'
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Oof, that's too much, wasn't it? - Yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I've learnt how easy it is to go fast,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57just by putting your foot down, just a little bit.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'Our kids had a great first lesson
0:07:00 > 0:07:04'but for our parents, it's a relief it wasn't a real test.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05'The Academy has its work cut out!
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'Examiner Sandra is really concerned about one of our parents.'
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Turn in the road was fine... as long as you didn't mind
0:07:13 > 0:07:16using someone's drive, every kerb there was.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Just not checking around, making absolutely sure.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Is it safe for me to move this vehicle?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26The difference between... That could be a kid on a bike.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I know you think it's a bit funny about the make-up,
0:07:30 > 0:07:35but honestly, there are dead people cos of things like that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I pray to God it would never be one of yours.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40'Well, Sandra's strong words have really hit home.'
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Just sad about Rhys. Could have been him.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Yeah. Exactly.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47'That's lesson one over.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50'Our kids have a lot to learn
0:07:50 > 0:07:53'and their parents are nightmares behind the wheel!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56'This isn't looking good for our Superskills Challenge,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59'when our teams' steering ability will be tested to the limit.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I was nearly a crash-test dummy!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03'To stand a chance of passing
0:08:03 > 0:08:07'our teams are going to have to drive a lot better than this.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Now for a safety lesson.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12One of the biggest causes for accidents is distraction.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Worth remembering next time you and your brother row in the back
0:08:16 > 0:08:17as your parents drive.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Strap in and don't be a dummy!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28'Let me introduce you to the biggest dummy at Driving Academy.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30'We call him Mr Crash for good reason.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33'Whenever he's behind a wheel
0:08:33 > 0:08:37'e can't keep his eyes on the road and it always ends badly.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41'he question is... what's going to distract him today?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42'...on the passenger seat?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44'...in the back?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46'...on the dashboard?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'What does a dummy need lipbalm for?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51'They all look innocent,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'but can our teams spot the dangers that they pose?'
0:08:54 > 0:08:55FAMILIES CHATTER
0:08:55 > 0:08:58'This isn't for points so why don't you play too?'
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Lipbalm, there's a map.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04'That's right, Cliff! To check your map, always pull over.'
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Lean behind to get something out of the bag.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'Nice one, Sarah! Rummaging in your bag, that's a big no-no!'
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The lipstick?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13'What a good spot from Andy.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17'Never leave anything on your dashboard.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21'So, all 3 objects can cause a crash, but which will distract Mr C?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24'Have a guess, while I check for hazards in the road.'
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Someone's left a sheet of glass in the middle of the road.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30That's careless, don't you think?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Uh-oh! I think Mr C's coming this way.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Best make a quick exit!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38'Any normal person will see the glass but you never know with Mr C.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41'Chances are though, something'll catch his eye!
0:09:41 > 0:09:45'Remember, all 3 objects can be dangerous.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47'There's a map if he gets lost,
0:09:47 > 0:09:48'his rucksack
0:09:48 > 0:09:51'and a cheeky lipbalm.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53'Last chance to guess.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54'Off he goes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56'All's looking well.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00'Nice and steady, Mr C. Nice and steady. That's it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03'No! Mr C! Don't look at your map.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05'WATCH THE GLASS!'
0:10:05 > 0:10:07ALL: Whoa!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11'Did you get it right at home?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13'The map caused the crash.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16'Mr C, you're a lost cause!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'Mr C is a fully-trained stunt driver
0:10:18 > 0:10:21'and all his crashes are performed by experts.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:36'Stay tuned for our Superskills Challenge,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38'but first, before you go near a car
0:10:38 > 0:10:42'you should learn the rules of the road - the Highway Code.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44'Our teams have been studying furiously
0:10:44 > 0:10:47'for the next part of the show - the Highway Quiz.'
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Hi, guys and welcome to our first Highway Quiz.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Today's is, Which Line Is It Anyway?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59You have red, yellow and white ones, doubles and singles
0:10:59 > 0:11:01but do you know what they mean?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03In front of you is a piece of road.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'll describe a line and I want you to paint it.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08You need three out of five to win this...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- ALL: Whoo! - ..the Highway Quiz badge!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Don't need a Blue Peter badge, do you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Rollers at the ready for question one.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Some have gone for yellow, some for white.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33We all finished?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Here's how it should have looked...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37ALL CHEER
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Jono, I think we should leave it there and move on.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Manisha, kind of, wrong colour.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Molly and Rhys, they're like worms but the right colours.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'll give you two of the points.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52If you see this sign outside a school, don't park there!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54We know who you are. We will find you!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Ready, guys, for question two?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Parents...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- ANDY:- I think that's about right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Pleased with what you've done? Step back to your kids.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Here's how it should have looked... - Yes!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17You all sound confident.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You've all got points, well done!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21ALL: Yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31'Currently, the blues and purples have one point each.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34'Remember, they need three out of five to pass.'
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Are you happy with everything? OK.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Here's how it should have looked...
0:12:39 > 0:12:40ALL: Oh!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Don't be sad, I'll let a few slide. Apart from you, Jono!
0:12:43 > 0:12:47That's the wrong colour, shape and there's nothing in the middle!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Manisha, yours is very nice. So is yours, Molly and yours, Rhys.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I'll give you a little artistic licence and let you away with that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Parents...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02'Michelle needs this point
0:13:02 > 0:13:05'if she and Jono are going to stand any chance
0:13:05 > 0:13:07'of getting their badge today.'
0:13:07 > 0:13:10This is what it should have looked like...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yes!
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Let's have a quick look.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Michelle, you've got a triple red line.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18That's a big parking ticket!
0:13:18 > 0:13:23The rest of you, well done. You get the points.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36OK, happy with what you've done?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38KIDS: No!
0:13:38 > 0:13:41This is what it should have looked like...
0:13:41 > 0:13:42ALL: Oh!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Jono! Congratulations! You got one right!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Manisha, well done, you got it right.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Molly, unlucky.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Rhys, unlucky.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You needed three out of five right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Jono and Michelle, you didn't earn your badge this time.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Manisha and Cliff, well done. Great start.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Molly and Andy, well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Sarah and Rhys. You've got your badge too, there you go.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Keep revising. At the series close, there's a Highway Quiz showdown.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Next up, don't move cos we've got our Superskills Challenge!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The moment has finally come.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23It's time for our Superskills Challenge.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Our teams pick up the first part of the series.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29We're going to test them on everything they've learnt today
0:14:29 > 0:14:31with a game called Mind The Gap - it's all about car control.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And this Superskill's got three key stages -
0:14:34 > 0:14:37two for the parents, then one for the rookies.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39First up, we have the tricky traffic lights.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Our parents have to squeeze through in the correct colour sequence.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Next up, we have Agony Archways.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47One little touch on these fellas
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and they'll crash down on our parents' cars
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and finally, my personal favourite, Car In The Wall.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Our teams choose to go
0:14:54 > 0:14:57through one of these very tight gaps.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00If they fail, they will face a very mucky forfeit indeed -
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but the rules are simple...
0:15:04 > 0:15:08If a team takes more than five minutes, they fail the challenge.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11If they drive safely and confidently,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13they'll finish with time to spare.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15If anyone drives dangerously,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17they'll be failed by Sandra.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The Driving Academy's Chief Examiner's word is final.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25If Sandra says fail - there's no arguing!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29What Sandra doesn't know about road safety isn't worth knowing.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Car control comes from good planning,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35from seeing ahead, from seeing behind, from taking your time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You do that and the car control - that just comes naturally.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43The teams had better beware as they take on the Superskills Challenge.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50So they're off. Remember, this challenge is to squeeze through
0:15:50 > 0:15:53the gaps without knocking over more than three obstacles.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Whilst driving a car, be aware of how big it is -
0:15:55 > 0:15:57that's exactly what this game is testing.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- OK this side.- The first section is the tricky traffic lights.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04The parents drive through the lights in the right sequence,
0:16:04 > 0:16:09that's red, red/amber, green, amber, red - easy, eh?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I'm really struggling with my sequence. It's red, red/amber...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- After that, it'll be green. - Are you sure?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Red/orange, you said.- Red/orange. - Red, red/orange...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- There, there, there, there! Trust me.- All right.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23It's really tight.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25This section tests the parents' car control,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30in particular, their steering and ability to judge distance.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Oh, that's OK. It looked tight. It's OK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Michelle is hoping Jono's picked up enough tips to help her through.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Now you're going to spin round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Oh, you're not going to make that.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44But already she's made a really bad turn!
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Oh, bad luck, Michelle!
0:16:47 > 0:16:51In real life, that light would have caused serious damage to your motor.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54They smashed it up!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's one obstacle destroyed by the Blues - two more and they'll fail.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Haphazard Sarah's using
0:17:00 > 0:17:03the close-your-eyes- and-hope-for-the-best technique,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05not the best way to steer a car.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It explains why she's approaching our next lights
0:17:08 > 0:17:09from the wrong direction.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Er, which way round are we going?
0:17:11 > 0:17:17- You're supposed to go...- Yeah. I'm wasting time. Silly, silly me.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20The pressure of the five-minute target
0:17:20 > 0:17:21is getting to one of our teams.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Will you please slow down?! - Oh, my goodness!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Oh!- Dad, will you please...? - I had to go out to come back...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29We've got a reckless driver on our hands here.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- Dad, will you...?- Molly, you're all right.- You're going too fast!
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- I'm going all right.- You're not! - We've only got five minutes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But whilst Molly's losing it with Andy's speeding,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44our other speeder, Cliff, is showing great car control.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48For somebody who's constantly boasting about going too fast,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50he's actually behaving very well.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Come on, Dad, we only have five minutes.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You're always speeding and now you're not going to speed.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Strangely, she's encouraging him to hurry up.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- You're going too fast. I don't like it.- We've hit one now.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08You're driving!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That's one obstacle down for Andy -
0:18:11 > 0:18:14but how can he concentrate with all Molly's arguing?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15I don't know, Dad!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I said go there, there, there and there, but you wouldn't have it!
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Can I hear them arguing in the car? - There was a big argument going on.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26This is such a distraction to people's driving and it's not safe.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29You just won't listen to me, will you?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- I'm sorry, but that was hair-raising. - That was dangerous.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36So that's one obstacle down for the orange team AND the blue team.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Now the second part of the course for the parents - Agony Archways.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42This section will test our teams' awareness
0:18:42 > 0:18:45and one of my dummies is about to hold up a warning sign.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Why? Because it's too small, that's why.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52They'll only see it if they look.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- So where am I going now? - Go through the arches.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Most of them have missed it completely...
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Come on, give us the go.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03..apart from a certain observant Andy.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05"Do not go through the second archway."
0:19:05 > 0:19:07He's the only one. He's looked in his mirror.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12So whilst he and Molly drive through arches one and three unhampered,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14the others face impossible arch number two.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- How am I going to get through there? - Extremely tight.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I ain't going to go through there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Sarah's about to knock over her first obstacle.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23That's it. You rev it!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25ENGINE REVS
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Nice of Rhys to offer his mum some support,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29so that's Green's first mistake.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Michelle's set to knock down her second of the challenge.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh-h, here it goes!
0:19:36 > 0:19:41One more knock-down and the Blues will fail this challenge.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Cliff's heading for his first mistake.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Hang on a sec. What's he up to?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Good man. At least he's seen and taken proper action.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52He's decided to give it a miss. Well done, Cliff.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54No knock-downs yet for the Purple team.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Are you allowed to miss it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- I don't know. Too tight to go through.- Oh!
0:19:58 > 0:20:02For the third and final section, the drivers are swapping.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It's time for the kids to impress. Will they outshine their parents?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Whilst Vicky takes up the dual control, the parents get a taste
0:20:09 > 0:20:11of life in the back seat.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Be careful now, Molly. - Coming from you!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15This is Car in the Wall.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19The kids must drive through one of these tiny car-shaped gaps
0:20:19 > 0:20:21without knocking the wall down,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25and they need to park up safely before their time runs out.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So all the pressure is on Rhys now.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Sarah has already knocked down one of the Agony Arches.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34She also lost a lot of time in the Tricky Traffic Lights...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm wasting time.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39..which means Rhys has just over a minute to finish.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Can he do better than his mum? - Slowly, take a look and choose.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43- Erm...- What do you reckon?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Decision time for Rhys.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Car control is key here but he has to watch his time.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54He's going for the middle arch.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Oh!- That's it. Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Line it up before you go through. - Here he goes.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Easy does it.- I didn't knock it down.- Keep going, keep going.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Amazing! Lucky boy, Rhys, but in real life
0:21:05 > 0:21:10that would have caused some serious damage to your paintwork.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11OK, pressure's on Molly now.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Dad has knocked down one of the items on the Tricky Traffic Lights,
0:21:15 > 0:21:16but he didn't hang around
0:21:16 > 0:21:20and Molly now has a huge three-and-a-half minutes to finish.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Let's see if Molly can stop shouting
0:21:22 > 0:21:26and start concentrating on her driving to make it through the wall.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Good luck. Break a leg. - Dad, please shut up.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Molly, you're all right. Just take it easy, darling.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- You'll have to go quicker. - Dad, I know! I'm trying!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39OK, it's crunch time.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Molly really needs to keep her cool and keep control of the car.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- Just stop shouting at me, please! - I haven't shouted at you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You're making me so nervous, Dad!
0:21:49 > 0:21:53OK, here she goes. Will she make it? Oooh! Oh!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Oh, you're going to hit it. - Dad! Oh, no!
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Oh, backside!- Whoa, Molls, there's no need for language like that!
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Didn't help her, did he?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06But that's only two knock-downs so they should be OK.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10OK, here goes Manisha and, remember,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12dad Cliff's had no knock-downs.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But his slow run has left her with just over a minute,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19and we all know she struggles with steering, so fingers crossed.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Keep turning. Slowly, slowly. Go over there. Don't... Keep going.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Third one.- OK. Get yourself a big swing to get in.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30OK, it's decision time. Manisha needs to keep calm
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and try and steer straight through that hole in the wall.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Oh, Dad!- Go through it. - It doesn't go.- Straight!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Straight, straight! Aggh!- Oh, my God!
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Oh, no, she really panicked there,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49but that's only one knock-down for the Purple team.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Finally it's Jono.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Nervous driver Michelle has already had two major knock-downs.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58She's left him with one minute to complete the course.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00If he runs out of time or knocks down the wall,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03they'll fail, so no pressure, then, Jono!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Do you fancy that one?- All right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's all on this moment.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Good. Well done. That's it. Gently.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Very good.- I'm quite small and I can barely see anything.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Oh, it's not looking good.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Blues, you have a mucky forfeit coming your way.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Move your steering over to the...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Hang on a minute- looks like he's going to make it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I tell you what. I don't understand how that arch is staying up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28That's just two obstacles down for the Blue team.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32None of the teams have knocked down more than two obstacles -
0:23:32 > 0:23:36all they need to do now is park up safely within the target time.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Aggh!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh-h! Easy on the brakes, Molly.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Finally, Manisha comes in to land. Oooh!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Whoa! Oooh-hoo-hoo!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Oh, had to put the brakes on then.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I was nearly a crash test dummy down there, weren't I?
0:23:52 > 0:23:57That is not good. Vicky had to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's all down to Sandra to decide what's a pass and what's a fail.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Firstly, I think that was a tough task,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07so I think, all in all, that was quite well done.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The traffic-light sequence, that went awry, I'm afraid.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Remember scraping through the hole in the wall?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Yeah.- In real life, you would have scraped your car.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- Today, we're going to scrape you a pass, so congratulations.- Thanks.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24That's pass mark No.1. Good stuff.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28One of the obstacles we hit was a traffic light. We crushed it.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I could see this coming cos I knew my mum is not amazing at driving,
0:24:32 > 0:24:33at this moment in time.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'd like to, basically, do better for both of us,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41but to prove to Jono that I can do a lot better than we've just done.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Rhys, how do you think your mum done?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48She did OK, but she did go through the traffic lights the wrong way.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51She did actually rectify it, however,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I do recall you hearing you say something about a trick
0:24:54 > 0:24:57through the arch, nobody could get through.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59How can I get through? Reckon you can't?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03If you'd looked in your mirror before you set off, you would have seen
0:25:03 > 0:25:06a special message telling you not to attempt it.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12So the bad news is, you're out of time by five seconds.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Bad luck, Rhys and Sarah, but rules are rules.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19She took three turns to go through the traffic lights.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23If I hadn't positioned myself wrong for the red light,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26he'd have passed. Sorry, Rhys.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28How do you think it went?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Molly did good, when she knocked the wall down.- Thanks, Dad.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You argued when you came through,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38when you went through the arch and when you swapped the seats.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- What does arguing end up in?- Crash. - Disaster.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Most importantly, you looked in the mirror and saw the message,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49so I have to congratulate you for that.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Technically, you've passed. So I'm going to say you've passed.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56But your behaviour and attitude
0:25:56 > 0:26:00and the way you are together in the car needs to be so much better.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04You scraped that pass, but you need to sort out your attitude.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07We went really fast and crashed into a lot of stuff.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I still don't know how we passed.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14It's difficult trying to drive while someone's in your earhole...
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I won't lie, Cliff, we had our concerns about your speed.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I had to keep turning, so I couldn't build up my speed.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We agreed that you'd keep to your speed.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29But you were encouraging him to speed. "Come on, Dad!"
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Don't encourage him. What happened when we came to the stop?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36She stopped for you. You have to get control.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Sorry, but it's too serious to ignore,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41so I'm afraid you haven't passed.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Sorry, but dangerous driving cannot be tolerated here at the Academy.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49When we had to stop and park, I didn't brake.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I was panicking, thinking, "Is there time left?"
0:26:52 > 0:26:56When she was driving towards the dummy, I wanted to shout,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59"Press the brakes, stop the car!"
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So, let's get down to the business end of things.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I'd like to hand a pass to Molly and Andy. Congratulations.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Secondly, I'd like to hand out a pass to Jono and Michelle.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19As for you guys, you have a forfeit.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Here are your toothbrushes, there's your cars and buckets.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27I need it clean. Thank you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Next time, Driving Academy sets more challenges for kids
0:27:31 > 0:27:34to help improve their parents' shocking driving.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The teams tackle the tricky issue of reversing.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Our rookies drive up close with a few traffic cones.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Mr C wallops his way through more distractions at the wheel.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And we've got a football-themed Superskills Challenge.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57In just nine days' time, our teams will face the ultimate driving test.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Join us next time on Driving Academy.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Until then, stay safe!
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Can't do this again tomorrow, Rhys. - I know.- Come on, clean it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- It'll be Andy and Molly tomorrow. - Look at your car, Dad!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11This is terrible.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It's just getting muddier!
0:28:21 > 0:28:22SMASH!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Dad, I didn't say go there, did I?
