0:00:01 > 0:00:03Four children fed up with their parents' driving.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Dad, you're driving too fast!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Four parents who have slipped into bad habits.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Darren knocked it down and smashed it up!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Just seven days left to change their ways,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17before facing the ultimate driving test and our Examiner Sandra.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20We nearly had the car in the goal but not the ball.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Last time, we were witness to some diabolical reversing.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27There was plenty of in-car frustrations...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Dad, you just put me off!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33..and driving that was way off target.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Will these parents ever learn? Will these parents ever be safer drivers?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's Day 3 at the Driving Academy.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Sandra was meant to pick me up this morning.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm Joe Swash, and this is Driving Academy.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Coming at you from wonderful Wales.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We've just got seven days to sort out our parents' bad driving habits.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, come on, guys, who's going to give me a lift?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Let's go!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Coming up: Brake!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Our rookies don't know when to stop.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And will their parents' driving ever improve?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Brake!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Look out, Cliff!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Don't miss the nail-biting Superskills Challenge.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And the crashes get worse with silly stuntman Mr C behind the wheel.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Today's Driving Academy is set to test our teams reflexes
0:01:25 > 0:01:27and powers of concentration to the limits.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31And this is where it all begins - The Learner Lesson.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Each day at the academy we have been teaching our rookies
0:01:35 > 0:01:39a different element of road safety, and today it's emergency braking.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Although our rookies obviously can't drive on public roads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47here, at the academy's top secret test centre, anything is possible.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49In charge of our learner lessons is elite driving instructor,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Vicky Lovell.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53With 24 years of instructing under her belt
0:01:53 > 0:01:56she knows every angle of road safety.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58We hope to teach the kids that an emergency stop
0:01:58 > 0:02:00is a really, really useful tool.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Throughout the lesson, Vicky has set of dual controls
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so our rookies are always safe.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08In this lesson, it's all about the emergency stop.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- First up, it's Molly. - A little bit of gas. Not too much.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13She's got to drive straight at the barrier
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and brake before she hits it when Vicky says, "Stop!"
0:02:17 > 0:02:19She looks terrified!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Stop.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25In a real emergency, this technique allows a driver to stop safely.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I kept slowing down when I saw the wall coming.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But other than that, I think I did OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Stopping safely and slowing down are skills
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Molly is desperate to pass on to her gung ho driving dad, Andy.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41You've got people that are sticking to the speed limit
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and my dad rushing down the road like there's no tomorrow.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I wish he'd slow down but he won't.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's all about competition at the end of the day.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51If you do it quicker than the next man, you're a better man.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So far Andy's macho attitude has caused friction in the camp.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Pick one out, you.- You're driving!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Can the Academy help Molly teach her dad that his attitude has to change?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Right, time for Molly's second run.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06She's starting slowly again.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Towards me a little bit. Just keep the gas there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Don't brake till I tell you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Can I brake now?- Stop.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Now, you see, we are still a long way away!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Molly doesn't take any chances,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20let's hope she passes the message on.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Next up, Jono. Will lesson number 3
0:03:22 > 0:03:24be another smooth run for captain confident?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Stop.- Car's coming...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Good! Well done!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Crash avoided!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Which is more than I can say for his nervous mum Michelle,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36who has a collection of dents and bumps already.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Oh, now I've got to try and look where I'm going.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Being nervous on the roads makes me drive a lot slower.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'm always looking out for things coming towards me.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Michelle, you need to try looking a little harder,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52we've seen some shocking collisions whilst you've been at the academy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Hopefully Jono can learn some things today that will help you
0:03:55 > 0:03:57get back on track and improve your confidence.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Stop. Stop!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Well done! You didn't hit the wall!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Oh! You've stalled!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07That was great, Jono. Just a shame about stalling the car!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10If my mum had to do this challenge, then...
0:04:10 > 0:04:14her reactions are OK, but I predict she'd probably go into the barrier
0:04:14 > 0:04:16at least at about 20 miles per hour.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Manisha is up third and about to attempt her emergency stop.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm a little bit worried though.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23She is the most nervous of all the rookie drivers.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Keep going. I haven't said it. Keep going.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Stop.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Vick has taught me it's important to brake, very firmly,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and brake smoothly, so it doesn't affect any other passengers.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37But it's not just Manisha
0:04:37 > 0:04:40who needs to learn to drive smoothly and carefully.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Dad, you're driving too fast.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Manisha will probably say,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47"Dad's driving too fast, he's going to hit somebody."
0:04:47 > 0:04:50But, within myself, I've got the confidence to control the car.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's important to me that I show my dad the safer way of driving.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57He's been lucky a few times, but his luck is about to run out.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01The academy needs to change Cliff's attitude to road safety.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05With two days gone, and no passes so far in the challenges,
0:05:05 > 0:05:06there's a lot of work to do.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09If Manisha can overcome her nerves,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11she can set a safe driving example to dad Cliff.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'm scared!
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Brake and clutch.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Oh, I did it! - Good girl, well done.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yes! That's more like it, perfect!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I kept calm and thought, "Don't be scared, you can do this."
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And it all came really well!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Last up, it's Rhys, and he doesn't normally hang about.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Not too much, not too much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Look what you're doing, look at the wall.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Oh, sounds a bit fast!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Stop!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Wooo! Only inches from the barrier.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I bet I'm really close.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Looks like Rhys has picked up his mother's reckless road style.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47The worst part of my driving is probably lack of concentration.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49On the way to school, we've got spellings to do,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I've got shopping lists to make, I've got children to sort out.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Sarah's got a long way to go before becoming a safer driver.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Give it welly. Give it a bash, but brake.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I did get told off for encouraging Rhys to give it a bit of welly.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04All well and good in this game, but not in the real world.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Second run for Rhys and it looks like he's giving it some welly!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Stop!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Whoa!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Oh, you hit it! Did you brake hard enough?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, I pushed it down flat!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It made me feel quite scared
0:06:18 > 0:06:21that could have been a car, and we would have demolished it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Rhys needs to calm down and concentrate
0:06:24 > 0:06:27to help his mum be a better driver.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32My mum usually brakes like that because she's usually braking late.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Now I know she's wrong and you're not supposed to brake like that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Some nervous driving there. Can they remember what they learnt
0:06:39 > 0:06:43in their lessons, and pass those safety tips onto their parents?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46They'll need all the help they can get to pass our high speed,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50fast-braking Superskills Challenge later in the show.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Bam!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So, you don't want to miss it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Now, here's a question. What's one of the biggest causes of accidents?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Surprisingly, it's to do with what goes on on the inside of a car.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07One slight loss of concentration can make the difference between
0:07:07 > 0:07:11being a safe driver and a dangerous driver.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So, all you mums and dads out there, don't be a dummy!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Meet the biggest dummy at the Driving Academy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Whenever this guy gets behind the wheel,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28he can't keep his eyes on the road, and it always leads to one thing,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30which is why we call him Mr Crash.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32What will distract him today?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36It looks like he has a bottle of water in his hand,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39a bag of sticky toffees,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43and finally, his trusty pineapple! Very fruity, Mr C!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47First, our teams get a look around and try and work out
0:07:47 > 0:07:52which of today's potential distractions will make Mr C crash.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54This isn't for points, so you can play along.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What about the toffees?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Good spot. Those toffees look tempting. If Mr C unwraps one,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01that could be dangerous.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Why is there a pineapple?!
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You may well ask, Jono!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You should put anything loose safely in the boot of the car.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, the sweets or the pineapple.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14And a bottle of water. He's going drink, isn't he?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Mr C definitely shouldn't have a bottle of water in his hand.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22If you need a drink or something to eat, always pull over.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'd better check the road is clear.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Someone's left all these barrels here! This could cause an accident.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32That can mean only one thing. Mr C's on his way! I better scarper!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36A tower of multi-coloured barrels. Mr C must see those.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Trouble is, this guy gets distracted by his own shadow!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44With all the possible distractions, I don't fancy his chances.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Remember, all three objects could be dangerous.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49There's a bottle of water in his hand,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51those tempting chewy toffees,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and, finally, that unusual pineapple passenger.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Last chance to guess which one.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Off he goes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01What's Mr C doing?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh no! He's dropped a bottle of water!
0:09:03 > 0:09:08It's rolled underneath his brake pedal. Watch out, Mr C!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Did you guess right at home?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16He crashed because he dropped a bottle of water.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18You could say he bottled it!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Mr C is a fully trained stunt driver
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and all his crashes are performed by experts.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Don't be a dummy, don't try this at home!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50An amazing Superskills Challenge is coming up soon,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but first, before you even get near a car,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57you need to learn the rules of the road - The Highway Code.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Our teams have been studying them for The Highway Quiz.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Teams, today's Highway Quiz is called "A Walk on the Wild Side".
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's about names given to crossings in the UK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Road crossings come in many different forms,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17but they're always the safest place to cross a road.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21This is a tricky test, but our teams have been swotting up.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26A lot of crossings are named after animals. Dummies, reveal the boards.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30We have got five diagrams of crossings,
0:10:30 > 0:10:31and 20 animals.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Match the animals to the diagrams,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38and get three out of five to win The Highway Quiz badge.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Are you ready, guys? Let's take it away!
0:10:41 > 0:10:45The teams have five animals to match to five types of crossings.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47They have 45 seconds to do it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51First up, this one's marked with a stripy walkway. That's a big clue.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53A zebra.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Yep, that's right, Cliff. It's a zebra crossing!
0:10:56 > 0:11:00This is the one where you press a button and wait for the green man.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02A donkey crossing? A giraffe crossing?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07No, Sarah! You'll find a pelican crossing fits the bill here.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Number three is for cyclists and pedestrians.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17In fact two can cross - get it? Toucan crossing!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Rhino crossing? Where, apart from Africa?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Why would you need the button so high?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25If you're a horse rider this one's for you - it's the Pegasus crossing.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29If you see red and green man signals on your side of the pavement,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32you're probably about to use the puffin crossing.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35KLAXON BLARES
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Teams, step away from the boards. Your time's up.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Let's find out the answers.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Number one is a zebra.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You have all done very well.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Jono and Michelle, well done.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Number two is a pelican crossing.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Yes, a lot of groans going on.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55We've got a donkey crossing!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58A penguin crossing? You at the back are taking the mick!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- A hippo crossing!? - It was the pelican's day off.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04None of you got that one right.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Number three is a toucan crossing.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I can see one winner.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's Molly and Andy. Well done!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The rest of you, unfortunately you got that wrong.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20The fourth one is a Pegasus crossing. I'm looking at your faces.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24It's a winged horse. You all got that wrong, unfortunately.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The final one is a puffin crossing.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'm having a little look along the line...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Jono and Michelle got that wrong.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Cliff, you got that one wrong.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Beaver crossing?!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I have never heard... Andy, was that your idea?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39No, it was mine.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Your idea?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Sarah and Rhys, you got a penguin crossing.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46You all were wrong.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I can tell you, none of you has passed!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52None of you will be getting a badge.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55At home, if you see a safe place to cross at a crossing, use it -
0:12:55 > 0:12:57it's better to be safe than sorry.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00What a terrible performance from our teams.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02They've got some serious swotting up to do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06The moment has finally arrived. It's time for the Superskills Challenge.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Braking point.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Our teams must drive down this road and brake after the yellow line.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Hopefully, they'll stop here, in the scoring zone.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Each team will have four goes, and need over 100 points.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Failure means only one thing - a mucky forfeit.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27The rules are simple - the car has a speed limiter,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29which means parents can't go faster than 50mph,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31and kids can't go over 30.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36The aim is to make a safe stop with the arrow at the front of the car
0:13:36 > 0:13:40in the scoring zone, without knocking over the barrels.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Each driver has two runs - the pass mark is 100.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48They'll be watched over by the lady with the power to pass or fail them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53The Driving Academy's Chief Examiner's word is final.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56If Sandra says fail, there's no arguing!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59What Sandra doesn't know about road safety isn't worth knowing.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Out there, there can be rain, there can be ice.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Trying to stop is not easy.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09The teams had better beware as they take on the Superskills Challenge.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Sandra, what are you going to be looking for from our teams?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Today, it's a braking exercise.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Most people underestimate how long it takes to stop a car.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25What we want to see is good, safe braking. Let's see how we go.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Each team gets four runs - two for the parents and two for the kids.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31100 points are needed.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35The purples are up first, and they need a pass more than anybody.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's important that we pass.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41We've failed twice in a row. I don't want a third one.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I really want to do well and try and get a certificate,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47so Manisha doesn't have to do another forfeit.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's in your hands, Cliff. Here we go.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52First, accelerate to 50mph.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Try to reach 30 or 40.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Cliff needs to decide where to start his emergency stop.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00This is big test of judgment.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Oh, Cliff!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Oh, so close!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It was close and it's a big fat zero.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11In the real world, that would have been a crash.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13That goes to show, 50mph, you need time to stop.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Sorry, Cliff. You got zero.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Come on, get a grip!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Here they come for their second run.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24They've got nil points for the first go, so they need these points.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The teams need to get a total of 100 points,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32so Cliff really needs to score, or it'll all be on Manisha's shoulders.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Cliff!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You got 50 points!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Incredible, Cliff!
0:15:40 > 0:15:4150 points in the bag!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46So, Manisha only needs another 50 on her two runs. Can she do it?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49First, over to the Greens who are feeling positive.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Mum might do well at the superskill because it's emergency braking -
0:15:53 > 0:15:55she usually does that.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00I do tend to lose concentration, which is my main bad habit,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02so sometimes I have to brake quite late.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07It's those habits we're trying to help you with! Concentrate!
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Sarah, unfortunately you stopped a little bit short,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20just outside of the scoring zone, so you've got zero points.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22'At least it was safe. Let's try again.'
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I'm thinking she's going to maybe try and overdo it this time
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and maybe overcompensate for the last one. Here we go.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31TYRES SCREECH
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Whoa!- Ooh!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Sarah, unfortunately you hit the barrels,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39which means you get zero points.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41'Sarah's crashed out, scoring no points.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44'That means she's left it all to Rhys. He has to score maximum
0:16:44 > 0:16:45'on both his runs to pass.'
0:16:45 > 0:16:47'Before that, over to the Orange team,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- 'who think they have a good chance.'- I'm pretty confident
0:16:50 > 0:16:54about the Superskill because my dad always drives really, really fast.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Because he drives fast he has to emergency brake a lot.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00There's no way in this world that we're going to fail again,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03because cleaning that car yesterday was awful.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06'We know Andy's confident but let's see whether his control
0:17:06 > 0:17:07'and judgment are improving.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:17THEY CHEER
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Well done, Dad. Get in!
0:17:18 > 0:17:1950 points!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Oh, yes!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24'What a start! halfway to a pass already.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25'More of the same, please, Andy!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Here comes Andy for his second attempt.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I think Molly's a bit worried.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I think she's realising this is not necessarily
0:17:31 > 0:17:33as much fun as she thought it was.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39THEY CHEER
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yes! Brilliant!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44You have scored 20 points.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45'That's a fantastic 70 points.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49'What an amazing show of concentration from a usually
0:17:49 > 0:17:53'reckless Andy, leaving Molly with just 30 points to pass.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56'Will she do it? But before then it's the Blue team's turn.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm quite confident cos my mum tends to brake quite a lot
0:17:59 > 0:18:00when she's really hesitant.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I am going to be extremely nervous about going at a certain speed
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and then coming to a sudden halt.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But I hope we pass. I don't want to be doing the forfeit.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12'Let's keep working on those nerves, Michelle. You can do it!'
0:18:16 > 0:18:19THEY CHEER
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Jono and Michelle, you have got 20 points.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29'Brilliant start. What a real confidence boost!'
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Here comes Michelle for her second go.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I don't know if she'll go for it
0:18:33 > 0:18:35or if she might hold off this time.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It's a very difficult task, is this.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- You can't really even learn how to do it.- Here she goes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42'Come on, Michelle.'
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Oh! Oh, unlucky!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Michelle, unfortunately you hit our barrels,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53which means you get zero points.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54'20 points for Michelle.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57'It's a good start but it leaves Jono a lot of work to do
0:18:57 > 0:18:59'to get a pass.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02'We're halfway there and it's all down to the kids now.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04'Swap time. And let's see how the scores stand.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'The Purples are halfway there with 50.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10'The Greens are not looking great on zero.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14'The Oranges are close, with a massive 70.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17'And the Blues are off the blocks with 20.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19'Remember, they're looking for a total of 100 points.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22'The kids are up next and their cars are speed limited
0:19:22 > 0:19:23'to 30 miles an hour.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28'First up is Manisha, who needs 50 points from her two goes.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- That's it, keep going. - 'Lots of advice from Cliff in the back.'
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Keep going, keep going.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Hit the brakes!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37TYRES SCREECH
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Oh, you did what your daddy said and you braked too early.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Unfortunately you stopped a bit short,
0:19:43 > 0:19:44so you'll be getting zero points.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47'Manisha's way off the scoring zone there,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49'thanks to Dad's bad advice in the back seat,
0:19:49 > 0:19:54'so she needs a maximum 50 points to reach her pass mark of 100.'
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Here comes Manisha, her second attempt. Cliff got 50 points,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- she needs to get maximum points. - She does, Joe.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03The hardest part of this challenge is actually gauging
0:20:03 > 0:20:06when to stop to get on that score board.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Keep going, keep going.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'Oh, Cliff's advising again!'
0:20:10 > 0:20:13TYRES SCREECH
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Unfortunately, Manisha, you didn't reach the scoring zone.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You get another zero.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23'Disappointment for the Purples as they finish on 50 points
0:20:23 > 0:20:26'and fail the Superskills Challenge for the third time.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28'Over to the Greens now, and it's all on Rhys.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31'Thanks to mum Sarah, who scored nothing,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'he needs 50 points from both runs to pass.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37'In the learner lesson, Rhys ploughed into the barriers
0:20:37 > 0:20:41'If he does that now he'll score nothing. No pressure, then(!)'
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I imagine Rhys is feeling the pressure.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45He needs to get maximum points from these attempts
0:20:45 > 0:20:47because his mum didn't get any.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50That's a lot to ask. I have a feeling he's a brave little soldier.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I think he's going to try and go for this.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Accelerate a little bit, Rhys.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58'More advice going on from the back seat here.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Now!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03'Oh! Oh, it's just short of the grid!'
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Rhys, unfortunately you never made it to the scoring zone,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09so no points. 'Oh, dear, the Greens have failed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12'But at least Rhys showed some commendable caution.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14'Final score zero points.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17'That means they're out of the challenge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20'Molly's up next for the Orange team,
0:21:20 > 0:21:24'and she only needs 30 points from her next two runs to pass.'
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Here comes Molly. I think being a passenger
0:21:26 > 0:21:29might have shaken her up a bit.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's interesting because, as long as Andy doesn't distract her
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and they don't start this sort of banter together again.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Here she comes.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41'Look at her face. Incredible concentration.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Can she do it?'
0:21:45 > 0:21:48THEY CHEER
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Molly, you have scored 30 points.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well done!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Yes! Well done!- That's fantastic, you beautiful girl.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03'Amazing ! Our first team to pass today.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04'Well done, guys!
0:22:04 > 0:22:08'Jono's up last and the Blues need a massive 80 points.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11'Jono's won both of the previous days' challenges,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13'despite Mum's driving,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17'but 80 points is a big ask to avoid that messy forfeit.'
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Here comes Jono with his first attempt.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I think he feels it's a bit of an uphill struggle,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25but it's definitely doable still.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28The strange thing about this task is it's completely unnatural.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30When, on the real road, would you ever be asked
0:22:30 > 0:22:34to charge at a brick wall and try and stop before you hit it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Here he comes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47THEY CHEER
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Jono,
0:22:48 > 0:22:53you got 30 points. Well done! Which means you're on 50 points.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5650 more points and you've passed.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59'Wow, they're back in the game, but only just.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01'Those 30 points, added to mum Michelle's 20,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03'makes 50 points so far.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05'It's all down to Jono's second run.'
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Here comes Jono, on his final approach.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12This is what he's looking for - a big five-oh, 50.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14If he gets a 50 he gets to pass.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Yeah, and I'm wondering if he's going to go all-out
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- to try and achieve this. - Come on, Jono.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22'Jono's got to score a maximum of 50 points to pass.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26'Those barrels are so close to the 50, there's no margin for error.'
0:23:28 > 0:23:30TYRES SCREECH
0:23:30 > 0:23:33THEY CHEER
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Yes, Jono!
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Well done, Jono. You've done it. Well done, mister.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Well done. I'm so proud of you.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47'Unbelievable! What a result! Jono's really saved his mum on this one.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51'Time now for the all-important examiner's verdict.'
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Cliff, are you surprised how fast it felt
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and how much distance it took to stop?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Yes, it felt so fast. The barrels came so quickly.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I just touched them.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03In reality it would have been a disaster.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Sandra, what did you think?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Because of the way the challenge is set up, you have failed it,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11so you didn't make the maximum 100 points.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Manisha, you're looking glum. I just want you to know you were my hero.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19That was two fantastically solid and safe emergency stops.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I'm very proud of you both.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22'That's a real shame, guys.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25'It means the Purples have yet to get their first pass.'
0:24:25 > 0:24:28When you fail, you know what you've done wrong
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and you can learn from that. And that makes me feel better.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I think me and Manisha are absolutely gutted
0:24:33 > 0:24:36about doing the forfeit. We have to do it for a third day.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Sarah, the first attempt, you came up short. The second was
0:24:39 > 0:24:41too far. Are you surprised at the difference
0:24:41 > 0:24:43a couple of seconds in braking makes?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Yes, it's frightening. - Sandra, what did you make of it?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Rhys, your braking was great.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I know you didn't get into the scoring zone
0:24:50 > 0:24:52but I think you would have braked a bit later
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- if you hadn't had some distraction from the back seat.- Now!
0:24:56 > 0:24:57So what have you learnt?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Not to be a back seat driver and don't listen to back seat drivers.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Well done. That's what we like to hear.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06'Disappointment for the Greens, with only one pass so far.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07'But a valuable lesson learnt.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I think he's quite annoyed that, as a back seat driver,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12he listened to me when he shouldn't have done.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Molly, Andy, this teamwork, it's so much more improved,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18and it was impressive that Andy, as a passenger,
0:25:18 > 0:25:19was perfect, wasn't he?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22He was quiet, he allowed you to keep calm,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24to keep cool and to do the task in hand.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- And that is a pass. - Oh, thank you. Well done, Moll.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31'Some great teamwork means that's their second pass of the series.'
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I'm really proud of myself because I didn't think I would do it
0:25:35 > 0:25:36and I did it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Brilliant, hit it, 30 miles an hour. Little Molly came up with the goods.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43100 points - get in there!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Well, that is what I call teamwork.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Jono, you couldn't have done it without your mum's 20 points.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51And Mum, you couldn't have done it without Jono's 80 points.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- How are you feeling?- Over the moon.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'm so chuffed. Sandra, what did you think of them?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59This team is working so well together, they really are.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Michelle, is this the same Michelle? The confidence, the improvement -
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and it's because you're planning and thinking.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Well done. Fantastic. - Well done, guys.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13'More great teamwork means the Blues have passed all three challenges.'
0:26:13 > 0:26:16As we keep doing the Superskills, Mum's gaining a lot of confidence
0:26:16 > 0:26:18and she's becoming a lot better driver.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- I'm really, really proud for her. - He came up trumps.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I got only 20 and he scored the rest of the points that we needed.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I'm just so proud of him.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29'So this is how our teams are doing
0:26:29 > 0:26:31'so far in the Superskills Challenges.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34'Rhys and Sarah are struggling with one pass,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37'Molly and Andy have scraped there with two passes,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40'Jono and Michelle have picked up three passes in three days.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'Sadly, Manisha and Cliff will have to work
0:26:43 > 0:26:45'a lot harder as they still have no passes at all.'
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Right, teams, let's get down to business.
