0:00:02 > 0:00:03Four children fed up with their parents' driving.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Dad, you're driving too fast!
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Four parents who have slipped into bad habits.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Darren knocked it down
0:00:10 > 0:00:11and smashed it up!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Just six days left to change their ways
0:00:13 > 0:00:17before facing the Ultimate Driving Test - and our examiner Sandra.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Last time, we saw some dodgy braking from Molly and Rhys...
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Oh, we hit it!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25..precision stopping from a confident Jono...
0:00:25 > 0:00:26THEY APPLAUD
0:00:26 > 0:00:28..and another disappointing result
0:00:28 > 0:00:31for the team without a single pass so far.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Whoa! Aargh.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Whilst one team celebrates an unbeaten pass record,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40another has to work hard to avoid another one of those nasty forfeits.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The pressure's on,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and the Driving Academy's about to get even tougher.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47It's Day Four of Driving Academy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56First rule of driving - never forget to fill up with petrol.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Eh, Sandra?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Welcome to Driving Academy,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02coming at you from the lovely St Athan in Wales.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Joe, and this is Sandra.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07We've got just six more days to get our parents
0:01:07 > 0:01:11driving safe again, and get them back on track.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You comfortable in there, Sandra?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Yeah? Shall we go?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Coming up today...
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Distractions.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Our Superskills Challenge
0:01:22 > 0:01:24tests our teams to the limit...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm starting to get really annoyed!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- ..and beyond. - HE WHISTLES
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Stop, or I'll ask you to leave the car.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But can they hold it together and pass?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Stay tuned to find out.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But now it's time for the Learner Lesson.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Each day at the Academy, we've taught our rookies
0:01:42 > 0:01:45a different element of road safety to tell their parents,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and today it's all about paying attention to everything around you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Though our rookies obviously can't drive on public roads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55here at the Academy's secret test centre, anything is possible.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59In charge of our Learner Lessons is elite instructor Vicky Lovell.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01With 24 years of instructing under her belt,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03she knows every angle of road safety.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Vicky has a set of dual controls, so our rookies are always safe.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09First to go is Rhys,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and let's hope he hasn't inherited his mum's
0:02:12 > 0:02:14lack of attention behind the wheel.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15I'm, like, always telling her off
0:02:15 > 0:02:19when she's looking at herself in the mirror. I'll say,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21"Can you put your eyes on the road and stop checking your make-up?"
0:02:21 > 0:02:24With only one pass from the first three challenges,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- mum needs to start paying attention. - Fail!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Today's lesson is about observation -
0:02:30 > 0:02:32being aware of everything around you -
0:02:32 > 0:02:34signs and potential hazards ahead.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36What does that sign up there mean, Rhys?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Steer on the right. - Someone could be coming.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42That's right, some dummy could pull out of that side road
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- without even looking. - Look out, Rhys!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47What do you need to do? You need to...oh.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Rhys stops just before our crash test dummy,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52but it took him a while to spot the danger.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, can you see how important it is
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- to think about the signs and what might happen?- Yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You never know when a crash test dummy
0:02:59 > 0:03:01might come flying out of a side road!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Let's hope Rhys can pass this lesson on to his easily-distracted mum.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07My mum would have been doing her make-up
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and by the time she'd finished,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12she'd looked and she'd have crashed into the side of the car.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Next to drive is Molly.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15She's already been finding Driving Academy
0:03:15 > 0:03:17a little bit nerve-racking.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Will you slow down?!
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Oh, oh, oh...
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Oh, my goodness. Whoa!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Overconfident dad Andy has already proved he doesn't pay
0:03:24 > 0:03:27much attention, especially when Molly distracts him.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28You're driving!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30They've managed two passes so far,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32but if they're going to pass today,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34they'll need to start paying attention.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So, what sign can you see?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39The junction sign.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40What else can you see?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42A person.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Ohhh, here comes our dummy!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47MOLLY GASPS
0:03:50 > 0:03:52That blooming scared me, then!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54That's what happens suddenly.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Yeah, but it's not funny!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm happy I did it well. I'm really proud of myself.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'm going to tell my dad
0:04:00 > 0:04:02to stop going so fast,
0:04:02 > 0:04:03cos you don't know what'll pop out.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Our third rookie is Jono,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07our most consistent young driver,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10who's helped the blues pass all three challenges so far,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13despite nervy mum Michelle's driving style.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Hopefully, the Academy will boost her confidence again
0:04:16 > 0:04:18so we don't have another crash in the future.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I've unfortunately had two accidents in the last two months.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I've had people come in at the back of me and the side,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26so I'm always looking out for it to happen again.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Today is about looking out,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- so Michelle should be fine, but what about Jono?- What does that mean?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Er...junction on the right. I'll have to stop, won't I?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Wow, cool as a cucumber! - Well done.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Finally, it's Manisha's turn.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50She's here with her dad to see if we can
0:04:50 > 0:04:52help him improve his terrifying driving habits.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- The worst bad habit I have is I'm impatient.- Whoa, Dad!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58You're driving too fast! Slow down!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00What's the point of having rules
0:05:00 > 0:05:02if no-one's going to obey them?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04They're there for a reason. Everyone should
0:05:04 > 0:05:06obey them, including my dad.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Since coming to the Academy, Cliff has slowed down.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12But now he's really slow. A little bit too cautious!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14The team has lost every challenge,
0:05:14 > 0:05:15so Manisha needs to pay attention.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- What does that mean?- Go straight,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but I've got to make sure nobody comes in my way still.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And there they come, Manisha!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You clever girl,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26you stopped the car
0:05:26 > 0:05:28completely on your own!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29That was surprising!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I was a bit curious when I saw that sign.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I was like, "Something's going to happen."
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But I didn't realise a car was going to come.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38It was scary!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Our rookies are learning to watch out at all times on the road.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But can they keep their focus later on when some
0:05:44 > 0:05:46very strange passengers
0:05:46 > 0:05:49try everything they can to put them off?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Stop, or I'll ask you to leave the car.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Don't miss today's hilarious Superskills Challenge.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03When it comes to paying attention, Mr Crash is useless.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05This dummy just can't stop crashing
0:06:05 > 0:06:09because when he's behind the wheel he always gets distracted.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11The question is, though, what will distract him today?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14He has left his box of tissues on the passenger seat,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18there's a mobile phone, and down near the handbrake
0:06:18 > 0:06:19there's some sunglasses.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Very cool, Mr C!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24First, our teams get a quick look around and try and work out
0:06:24 > 0:06:27which of today's potential distractions will cause Mr C
0:06:27 > 0:06:28to crash. This isn't for points,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30so why don't you play along, too?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Ah, a box of tissues.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Good spot, Andy.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Those tissues may seem harmless,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36but anything laying around loose in a car
0:06:36 > 0:06:38could be a hazard.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Phone?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Well pointed out, Rhys. A mobile phone could be fatal.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46When you're driving, never be tempted to take a call
0:06:46 > 0:06:48or write a text.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49There must be something else.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You're right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53But I'm not sure anyone's spotted
0:06:53 > 0:06:55our sunglasses that could fly anywhere.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58OK, I'd better go and check and see if the road ahead is clear.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Oh, who's left all this out-of-date fruit and veg sitting here?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03This...this could cause a crash.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Talking of crashes...where's Mr C?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07HE GASPS
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, it's a lovely little fruit stand.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I hope Mr C can keep his eyes on it, otherwise
0:07:13 > 0:07:16this could be a fruit smoothie time! A small distraction
0:07:16 > 0:07:18is all it takes with this dummy driving, and remember,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21there are three in this car.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22There's a box of tissues,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23his mobile phone,
0:07:23 > 0:07:24and, of course,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26those snazzy sunglasses.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28This is your last chance at home
0:07:28 > 0:07:29to guess which one of these
0:07:29 > 0:07:31will cause today's crash.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Off he goes.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38He's getting up to quite a speed there, Mr C.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Hang on, what's he doing?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42No, he's being a right old dummy
0:07:42 > 0:07:43and he's taken a call on his mobile!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Watch out, Mr C!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Did you guess right at home?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Mr C was trying to use his phone.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Mr C, that's a real no-no.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You must never use a phone whilst driving.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Mr C is a fully trained stunt driver.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03All these crashes were performed by experts. Don't be a dummy.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Don't try this at home!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Our dummies cause utter mayhem in our Superskills Challenge
0:08:26 > 0:08:29in just a few minutes' time, but first,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32before you can get near a car you need to learn the rules
0:08:32 > 0:08:35of the road. They're called The Highway Code, and our teams
0:08:35 > 0:08:37have studied for the next part of the show -
0:08:37 > 0:08:38The Highway Quiz.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Right, today's Highway Quiz is called
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Instruction Construction,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and it's about road signs you may see
0:08:46 > 0:08:50while out on the road that tell you what you can and can't do.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I want you to construct me
0:08:51 > 0:08:54five signs from the shapes and symbols in front of you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56You need to get three out of five right
0:08:56 > 0:08:59to win this, the Highway Quiz badge.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00ALL: Oooh!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02"Oooh!", indeed.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06The first sign I want you to construct is a no entry sign.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Away you go.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09For the no entry sign,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11our teams need a red background
0:09:11 > 0:09:13with a white dash across the centre.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15See this, and don't even think about
0:09:15 > 0:09:16heading down that way.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It looks like most of our teams have this one in the bag.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22OK, let's see how we all got on.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24This is what a no entry sign should look like.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26CHILDREN: Yes! Well done.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Molly and Andy, what happened?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Red on red, when are you going to see that?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Catch up next time. Are you ready for the next one?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I'd like you to construct me a no overtaking sign.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No overtaking sign.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41What we're looking for is a red car next to a black car
0:09:41 > 0:09:43in a white circle.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45See this and don't think about overtaking -
0:09:45 > 0:09:47it's too dangerous.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Looks like Sarah can't make up her mind,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52but Michelle and Cliff both seem pretty chuffed with theirs.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54This is what it should have looked like.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55CHEERS AND GROANS
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Oh, some cheers, some groans. Have a little look.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Jono and Michelle, very, very close,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04you just got the wrong background, unfortunately.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Manisha and Cliff, the cars are just the wrong way round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Molly and Andy...I'm not even going to go there.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Rhys and Sarah...get in there! You've got it right.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Congratulations.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16It's the kids up next.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I'd like you to construct me a sign that says school crossing patrol.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23A school crossing patrol sign.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25We've all seen this one. It's the sign you see
0:10:25 > 0:10:28a lollipop lady or gent holding outside the school.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29will our teams get the important
0:10:29 > 0:10:31symbols and colours in the right place?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32The teams need to get
0:10:32 > 0:10:34three out of five correct,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37so these next two questions are going to be critical
0:10:37 > 0:10:39if anyone is going to pass.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41This is what it should have looked like.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42GROANS
0:10:42 > 0:10:43MANISHA GASPS
0:10:43 > 0:10:44So close! I told you...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47So, Molly, Michelle...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49totally wrong. Manisha and Cliff...
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I can't give it to you. I'm really, really sorry.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Molly and Andy, and Sarah and Rhys, you've both done the same thing.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It was wrong. So unfortunately, you all failed.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Now, I want you to construct me a sign
0:11:01 > 0:11:03that says no stopping.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The sign for no stopping is often seen on major roads.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's a big red cross with a red circle and most importantly,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12a blue background.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Do you think you've done well?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Yes.- Yeah?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16No, you didn't.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19No, you didn't. You were so close.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22The cross theme was there. Again, it's just the background.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You got the background wrong. So, ready, kids?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28The next sign I want you to construct for me is
0:11:28 > 0:11:30a no motor vehicles sign.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Away you go.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33This is the final sign.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35They need three out of five to pass. For this one,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37we're looking for a car
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and a motorbike symbol in a white circle.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Right, this is what the sign should have looked like.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Yes!- And so Jono and Michelle,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49wrong background, and you've stuck a lorry in, unfortunately.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51That's one out of five for the blues.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Manisha and Cliff, spot on. Well done.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58That's right, Manisha and Cliff, but only two out of five overall.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Molly and Andy...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01MOLLY LAUGHS
0:12:01 > 0:12:02I'm just going to move on(!)
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Wrong. Oranges score zero.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The Greens need this to be the only team to pass.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Sarah and Rhys, unfortunately, wrong. Very close.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14So that's disappointing. Two out of five for Rhys and Sarah.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17No-one's passed for two days running!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20So tonight I need you to keep your noses in them books
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and start revising, yeah? Taxi!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The moment has finally arrived.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It's time for our super-size Superskills Challenge,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Taxi Driver, where our teams have to show they can think straight
0:12:35 > 0:12:38whilst avoiding distraction when on the road.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42This is a test of the parents' and kids' observation skills.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44The teams will be driving a taxi around
0:12:44 > 0:12:46this tricky course, while trying to spot
0:12:46 > 0:12:49as many of the 25 signs as possible.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52At the end of the course, they have to repeat the signs to Sandra -
0:12:52 > 0:12:55they'll need to remember at least seven to pass.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Sounds easy, doesn't it?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Well, there's a twist.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01They'll have to pay attention, because some of the signs
0:13:01 > 0:13:03are not real, and they'll have to drive
0:13:03 > 0:13:05around obstacles and pick up
0:13:05 > 0:13:08three of the most distracting Dummies at the Academy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Our teams will have to stay cool
0:13:10 > 0:13:13and remember the signs if they want to impress
0:13:13 > 0:13:15the lady that counts - the examiner.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21The Driving Academy's Chief Examiner's word is final.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23If Sandra says foul, there's no arguing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What she doesn't know about road safety
0:13:26 > 0:13:27isn't worth knowing.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Driving with distraction is dangerous,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31so as a passenger, be responsible.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Don't distract the driver.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The teams better beware.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's the parents to start us off.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46OK, teams. Go and pick my passengers up,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and look after them.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50The first passenger is Freddie the football fan.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54This guy can get very distracting.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'm not sure our teams are ready.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57MUSIC: "Match of the Day" Theme
0:13:57 > 0:14:00FREDDIE WHISTLES AND RATTLES
0:14:05 > 0:14:07WHISTLING DROWNS SPEECH
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Could you put your belt on, please? Thank you very much.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Cliff has actually insisted he puts his seatbelt on first thing.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- We might be getting through to him after all!- I hope so.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Interesting, Cliff's taking no nonsense today.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23While our Dummy makes a right nuisance of himself
0:14:23 > 0:14:25in the back, our parents must reverse
0:14:25 > 0:14:27out of the starting bay
0:14:27 > 0:14:28and pass a table of drinks,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but they should be paying attention
0:14:30 > 0:14:32to the first road signs.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35This is a challenge to test their observation skills,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so they'll need to pay attention.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Dad, don't get distracted.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- I'm not.- You are.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43This is interesting,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47because Andy's concentration and reversing is usually OK.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What do we think is putting him off?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Molly(!) Oh, I mean, the football supporter.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54In the Superskills, distraction has been
0:14:54 > 0:14:55a big problem for the Orange team.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57If they're not careful
0:14:57 > 0:15:00with their behaviour, they could easily fail this academy.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Andy makes it, but have they spotted the no buses sign?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05FAN WHISTLES
0:15:05 > 0:15:08WHISTLING DROWNS SPEECH
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Can you please stop?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Can you please stop? Not disturb me. I'm reversing.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17He's managed to silence that football supporter.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Well done, Cliff.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Passengers are your responsibility
0:15:20 > 0:15:22when they're in the car.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Now you have to concentrate on the signs
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and get past the drinks table.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27FAN WHISTLES
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Do not distract me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32You've got to stop!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Please stop, or I'll ask you to leave the car.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Oh, good on you, Cliff.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38FAN RATTLES
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Right. Out you get. Out you get.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Get out the car.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Oh, fantastic.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well done, Cliff.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49He's definitely upset
0:15:49 > 0:15:51my crash test dummy, hasn't he?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The purple team means business today.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55They have failed all three Superskills so far,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and it looks like they might have had enough.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59We hope to pass this time...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- No, we will pass today, won't we?- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03We will pass today, and win.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Should be much easier concentrating
0:16:05 > 0:16:06without that dummy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Will timid driver Michelle also take control?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11FAN WHISTLES AND RATTLES
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Ooh! There goes the tray of drinks.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Are we surprised?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17She doesn't like reversing at the best of times,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21and she's got the worst of times going on in that car.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24That shows how difficult it is to concentrate with all that
0:16:24 > 0:16:27racket in the back. The challenge is about awareness
0:16:27 > 0:16:28of what's going on around you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30There are signs everywhere,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32so our teams have to stay calm
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and try to remember them. Easier said than done!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Sarah and Rhys are starting to pick out a few signs.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- What's that one? - Danger - tractors...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Er...no overtaking.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It's mayhem in the car, but they're keeping it together.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I take it back.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Sarah's slipping into her bad habits again,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54checking her hair in the mirror, and Rhys is in stitches.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Concentrate, guys!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58How are Andy and Molly doing?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- So this one, you've got no overtaking.- So I've got...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You've got parking.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Picking out a few signs, but they need seven to pass.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Blue team now. I don't even think they're looking at the signs.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Michelle's like a rabbit in the headlights!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16This is total chaos!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, it's very pleasant in the Purple car.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Much better without those dummies distracting him.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Priority for vehicles...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28And loads of time to spot those signs.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- No stopping... - Clearway, no stopping.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31A give way sign...
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Cliff and Manisha are doing great so far, but it's only half way.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38That's the end of the parents' run and it's swap time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41A chance for the kids to find out how distracting
0:17:41 > 0:17:42a bad passenger can be.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's a clown!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I'm a bit scared of clowns. If one jumped in my car,
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I would jump out.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49CLOWN SQUEAKS CHICKEN
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Will you put your seatbelt on?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Do you want to get out this car?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Good stuff, Rhys!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57The rookies have to steer through barrels
0:17:57 > 0:17:59with melons balanced on top.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01This is a test of observation,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04so they must pay attention to the road signs.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And remember, they need at least seven to pass.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Here's Molly. It will be interesting
0:18:09 > 0:18:11to see how she deals with the clown,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14as usually it's her that's doing the distracting.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I said, "Go there, there, there," but you wouldn't have it!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20This could be a real learning curve for her.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Molly, ignore the clown, darling.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I can't ignore the blooming clown!
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Jono's concentrating on driving,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but I'm not sure he's looking out for those signs at all.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Rhys doesn't seem to be concentrating on anything.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He won't fail for those knock downs
0:18:39 > 0:18:42but he will if he doesn't pay attention to those signs.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45The Purples seem to be doing OK.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Hang on, what's that clown doing?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Stop it, please?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58No, don't, don't burst the balloon. Be a good clown.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I might ask you to leave the car.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Manisha and Cliff aren't taking any messing today and let's hope
0:19:04 > 0:19:06that gives them more time to concentrate.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09They're just driving past the elderly people crossing sign.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Let's hope they spotted it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Next, our teams have to drive around the barriers.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Two more signs, but hopefully they will know they're not real.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Dolphins and pelicans?!
0:19:19 > 0:19:23And my dummy is not giving them any chance to concentrate.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Aaargh! Do you think it's blooming funny?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Cos I certainly don't.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Molly, ignore the clown. - He's put it in my face!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I know, but just ignore the clown.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Ignore the clown? Good advice, Andy.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44It's definitely better than what Sarah's suggesting.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Ignore the signs. Just totally ignore the signs.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Ignore the signs?!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Sarah's bad habits getting the better of her there.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Cliff has some better advice for Manisha.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Stop the car and ask him to leave.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58You have to be quiet now.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Do you want to come out the car?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Yeah, but I don't want to see your chicken.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07The Purples are really showing improvement in this challenge.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12But over in the Blue car, Jono is struggling.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14The Blues have passed all three Superskills so far,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17with Jono carrying his nervy mum for most of them.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Technically, he's the strongest rookie,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but today's test is about observation
0:20:21 > 0:20:25and distraction, and Jono's having a real problem, for the first time.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's time for the final pick-up.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31The teams get rid of the clown but are joined by our rebellious rocker.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35They've had the football fan,
0:20:35 > 0:20:39they've had the clown, now it's the rock star.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The rock star is probably the noisiest of the lot.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44HEAVY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- And hair.- And hair!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03First, our teams have to reverse out of the pick-up bay
0:21:03 > 0:21:04and avoid the drinks table.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Rhys just manages to keep his cool with his reversing,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10but I don't know how, with all that racket.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Has he seen that parking sign?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Now Molly. Oh, dear. That's an angry face.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'm starting to get really annoyed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Watch that road rage, Molls!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Manisha now. She hates reversing,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29but she seems to be keeping her cool.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That noise is so distracting!
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Stop it!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Wow, Manisha! Great stuff.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So far the Purples are the only team to have managed
0:21:42 > 0:21:44to control my dummy's distractions.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46But to win their first pass,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49they'll need to remember seven signs and they've just passed two.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Here's Jono, and for the first time we've seen him drive
0:21:53 > 0:21:56more like his mum, as he nervously reverses out.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57That's it, steer round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01That loud distraction is really affecting him.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03That's it, manoeuvre it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Well done.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Passing the Parking sign... has he seen it?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12So, Sandra.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Does having your radio on full blast have the same effect?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It does indeed. You can't lose concentration.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20If you lose concentration for one moment, it can end
0:22:20 > 0:22:22in absolute tragedy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's the final stretch for the teams
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and this one has been really tough, but have any of them made it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29No motorcycles.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34That's the course completed. It's time for Sandra to test our teams.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35They need to remember
0:22:35 > 0:22:37seven real road signs to pass.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41There were a few cheeky fakes along the way that won't score points.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So, how many did they spot?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Give way, parking...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Elderly people, no stopping...
0:22:47 > 0:22:49No overtaking.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50No buses.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51One-way traffic only.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Er, left turn?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53No stopping.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54No overtaking.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Ice.- Yeah, ice.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57SOS phone.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59No motorbike, one way...
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Erm, ice, stop...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Give way to oncoming traffic.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Ice warning. Er, there was an attention warning.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Ducks crossing.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09They seem to have remembered a lot,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11but did they remember at least seven to pass?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13It's time for Sandra's verdict.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, Sandra, how did they get on?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Congratulations, you got nine without the non-stopping, well done.- Yes!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, that's a nine.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The Oranges overcome their frustration to score two more
0:23:22 > 0:23:23than the pass mark.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26How did it feel with all that noise and distraction going on?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh, it was hard work, that, yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, you've done really well. Congratulations.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34And maybe Molly will never be so distracting again for you, Andy!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Hopefully. Bit of luck.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Well done, Orange team - your second pass out of four.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Real winner her is,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Molly learnt the fact that distractions in the back
0:23:44 > 0:23:48do cause Dad to drive really bad.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It just shows you what you do
0:23:50 > 0:23:54can easily distract what the driver's doing.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Well, let's count them up -
0:23:56 > 0:23:581, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- 11.- Woo!- Well, congratulations.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Greens score 11.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Not bad, considering Sarah told Rhys to ignore the signs.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07What about the distractions?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Annoying!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Rhys did fantastic.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, I was so impressed
0:24:12 > 0:24:14with your concentration levels
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and the way you managed that. So, as far as I'm concerned,
0:24:17 > 0:24:18well done, the pair of you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Well done, you're getting better.- Thank you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24It's another pass for the Greens, but what have they learnt?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I'm quite surprised we passed,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28because Mum's not really good with signs.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I think the challenge has made me more aware
0:24:30 > 0:24:33what a large distraction other people can be in the car.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Can the Blues keep up their perfect pass record?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I was a little bit concerned.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41We didn't hear you talking about the signs, so I don't know
0:24:41 > 0:24:44if you was paying as much attention as you should've been.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The passengers were there to distract you, to take you away
0:24:47 > 0:24:49from looking at the signs. Unfortunately,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Sandra?- I'm afraid -
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I'm sorry to say you haven't passed, it's a failure.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Ohhh.- You've only identified
0:24:56 > 0:24:58four of the real road signs.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Blues with a miserable four.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You might have lost your unbeaten record,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07but keep your chins up. There's a lot to play for still. Well done.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Well done, Jono.- Thank you.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12A first failure for a very distracted team!
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Bit upset because we've just ruined our 100% passes, but...
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It was just disastrous. It was a horrible feeling,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23to feel up one minute and then completely down the next,
0:25:23 > 0:25:24and it's been quite hard to recover.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Basically, this is life. You can't pass everything,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30so, you know, we've got to look up and pass the next one.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32The Purple team are desperate for their first pass,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34but have they done enough?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36They need at least seven.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK, so, how did they do?
0:25:41 > 0:25:4213 traffic signs.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Yes!- We've done it! Yeah!
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Congratulations, guys.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You know what? That is amazing.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Yeah! The purples smashed it, with 13.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You've done everything perfectly.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You asked the dummy to leave
0:25:57 > 0:25:59when he was rowdy in the back.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Sandra, could you ask for anything more?- Fantastic.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04You weren't going to take the distraction, from him or anybody.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08You even kept the rock drummer fairly quiet, and the clown.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And you noticed the seatbelts. I was really impressed.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12That was a stunning round.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Thank you. - A purple patch for the Purple team.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16- Well done.- Thank you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21First pass and almost a perfect run. They must be feeling good.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Yeah, we did it!- I feel so...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Come on. Come on!- Yay!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Shall we get down to business and hand out awards?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, first, I'd like to give Molly and Andy their award for today.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Well done, guys.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Then I'd like to give Rhys and Sarah their awards for today.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Well done to you guys, too.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Now over to you lot. It gives me great pleasure
0:26:49 > 0:26:53to get your ball moving. Here's your award. Congratulations.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let's give them a round of applause!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57As you know, with every winner, there's a loser,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and with every loser there's a forfeit.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01And with every forfeit,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05there's a dirty car to tidy up. So, here are your Toothbrushes of Doom.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Go and tidy up the car.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Ohhh!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12While they clear out that mucky straw from my motor,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15here's what's coming up on our speedy show next time.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's pedal to the metal, as our rookies experience
0:27:18 > 0:27:19how dangerous speed can be.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Mr C rolls into action as he gets snared
0:27:21 > 0:27:24by another dangerous distraction.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Our teams better beware of those speed checkers
0:27:26 > 0:27:29in a fast and furious Superskills Challenge.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Don't you dare miss it!
0:27:33 > 0:27:35It looks like our teams have a lot of hard work to do
0:27:35 > 0:27:37before they face the Ultimate Driving Test
0:27:37 > 0:27:39at the end of the series. Can they do it?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Find out next time on Driving Academy. Until then, stay safe!
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Right, come on,
0:27:45 > 0:27:46let's get the car clean, then.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Shouldn't take too long
0:27:48 > 0:27:50at the speed we do things!
0:27:50 > 0:27:51DUMMY RATTLES
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Shush with the rattle!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'm starting to get really annoyed!
