0:00:02 > 0:00:05Four children fed up with their parents' driving.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I said pull in there, there, there or there! But you wouldn't have it!
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Four parents who have slipped into bad habits.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Just five days left to change their ways,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18before they face the ultimate driving test and our examiner.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Last time there were shocks and surprises,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23smashes and crashes,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and some incredibly annoying in-car distractions.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Stop, or you have to leave the car.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31But the tables are beginning to turn.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33As one team endures their first forfeit,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36another celebrates their first pass of the series.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40The pressure's still on and the Academy's about to get even tougher.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's Day 5 of the Driving Academy.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Joe Swash, and this is Driving Academy,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55coming at you from the wonderful St Athan in Wales.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We've only got five days to sort out our parents'
0:00:58 > 0:01:02bad driving behaviour - and I need to get my driving licence.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04This is doing nothing for my street cred. Let's go!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Coming up: Watch out, Mr C!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Will our rookies ever learn how to steer in a straight line?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Whoa, what happened there?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Will their parents' driving ever improve?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Today the teams need to judge their speed without a speedo -
0:01:19 > 0:01:22surely an impossible Superskills Challenge.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Each day at the Academy we teach our rookies
0:01:30 > 0:01:34a different element of road safety to pass on to their parents.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Today it's all about judging your speed
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and the all-important speed limits.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Although our rookies obviously can't drive on public roads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46here at the Academy's top secret test centre anything is possible.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50In charge of our lessons is elite driving instructor, Vicky Lovell.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53She knows every angle of road safety.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Throughout the lesson Vicky has set of dual controls
0:01:56 > 0:01:59so our rookies are always safe.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Our first driver today is Manisha.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06After a shaky start she seems to be relaxing behind the wheel.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08We're going to take the second left.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- OK.- So check behind you... No, no, no, in the mirror, darling.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15As Vicky gets Manisha to increase her speed,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17will her nerves get the better of her?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Get off the grass, darling. Off the grass.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23On the brakes for the junction, on the brakes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's harder than it looks.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28There's a certain someone that always drives Manisha round the bend
0:02:28 > 0:02:30when it comes to speed.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33My dad's worst habit is speeding.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Maybe I should be a little bit more conscious of the speed I'm doing.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39But I think I drive to the road conditions.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44On Day 4, the Purples picked up their very first pass mark.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49They are now as determined as ever to avoid any more forfeits.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52But to do that Manisha really has to sort out that terrible steering.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Now brake, off the gas.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Good. Now just brake a little bit.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Look round the corner where we're going.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00This lesson allows our rookies
0:03:00 > 0:03:02to experience driving at various speeds.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04This way they can learn to appreciate
0:03:04 > 0:03:08which speeds are appropriate and safe for different road conditions.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09That's better.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Next time I'm in the car I'm going to make sure
0:03:13 > 0:03:14what the speed limit is.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Molly's next and hopefully she can pick up
0:03:16 > 0:03:20some tips on judging speed to help her team secure a pass later.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Go up past the thingy?- Yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28It's vital for our rookies to learn how important it is to be observant.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Oh, that way?- Cos that's the side we drive on, isn't it?- Sorry.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Molly's picked up a few good tips to pass on to her dad,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37and does he need it!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I have written off three cars in my first year of driving.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44One of them was not my fault, the second one involved me
0:03:44 > 0:03:47crashing into a bus full of passengers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51It's never a smooth ride, being in the car with my dad.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53You always want to get out and just walk.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well, with three passes under their belts already,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58the Academy must be doing something right,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00but there's a long way to go
0:04:00 > 0:04:03to be ready for that Ultimate Driving Test.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So, what do we need to do before we get to the bend?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Slow down.- Right, so you're in charge, aren't you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09You're driving the car.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Even though my dad's driving is ridiculous,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I shouldn't wind him up because he'll lose his concentration
0:04:15 > 0:04:18and I could be the one causing the crash.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, Rhys next. So far he's shown some reckless tendencies
0:04:20 > 0:04:24that we think he's probably picked up from his mum, Sarah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Look round the corner, make sure it's clear, and go round the corner.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Off the grass, quickly!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Whoa! What happened there?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I just turned a bit too far and didn't get it back.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Vicky wants to show him how to drive safely
0:04:38 > 0:04:40so he can pass the message on to his mum.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42She needs all the help she can get.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47I reversed onto my drive and smashed the wing mirror on my right gate
0:04:47 > 0:04:50on the Monday, which my husband repaired on the Tuesday.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Unfortunately, on the Wednesday I reversed into the same drive
0:04:53 > 0:04:58and broke the other wing mirror, which my husband refuses to replace.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Rhys and his mum have already had two Superskill fails so far,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and really need to improve their car control
0:05:04 > 0:05:09if they're going to graduate from the Academy as safer road users.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10And finally, it's Jono.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12He's taken the learner lessons in his stride
0:05:12 > 0:05:15but will today be any different?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17You're going to be turning right at the end,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so is there anyone behind you?
0:05:19 > 0:05:26Signal right. Tell me, is there any cars coming in either direction?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27No.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Very observant.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Hopefully, you can pass that new found knowledge on to your mum,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34who desperately needs help.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I've had many accidents now and reversed into things.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43My car has now been repaired at the back, I've had a new bumper,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I've had a new side door and I've had a new wing on the car.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51It's amazing that the Blues have managed to get three passes
0:05:51 > 0:05:53at the Academy already.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55However, both Jono and Michelle's observation
0:05:55 > 0:05:58left a lot to be desired on Day 4
0:05:58 > 0:06:02when they both bombed out of the road sign Superskill Challenge.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05For them to avoid the mucky forfeit today,
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Jono will need to help his mum with that all-important road awareness.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12The objective was thinking and looking.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17I definitely did the looking part but it takes a lot of thinking as well.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20You can look, but you need to think about where you're looking.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Some good and some very bad driving from our learners, there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Let's just hope that they was all paying attention.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Later, our teams will be facing a test of their speed awareness
0:06:30 > 0:06:33in our souped-up speed camera Superskill test.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Back to another menace of the roads, distraction.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Do you know it's one of the key reasons
0:06:38 > 0:06:40that drivers lose control and cause accidents?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Now, if you're one of those people I've got a message for you -
0:06:43 > 0:06:44don't be a dummy!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51When it comes to being easily distracted,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54there's one driver who's the biggest dummy of them all.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56We call him Mr Crash, with good reason.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Whenever this guy is behind the wheel
0:06:58 > 0:07:01he just can't keep his eyes on the road and it always ends badly.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The question is, what's going to distract him today?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Firstly he's left a pillow on the passenger seat.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09He's put a sandwich near his gear stick.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And finally, there's a camera next to the pillow.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Say "cheese", Mr C!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16First, our teams get a quick look around
0:07:16 > 0:07:19to try and work what one of today's potential distractions
0:07:19 > 0:07:20will cause Mr C to crash.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23This isn't for points, so why don't you play along too?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Sandwich.- Good spot, Rhys.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Never be tempted to eat or drink whilst driving.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32If your parents feel hungry, always persuade them to pull over safely.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The pillow, I don't think the pillow is going to be much of...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Unless she wants to go to sleep. - You never know, Andy,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40the sight of the pillow could make Mr C dozy,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42and falling asleep at the wheel can be a killer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Nice camera. - Yeah, you're right, Jono.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48A camera could roll on the floor and underneath the pedal
0:07:48 > 0:07:49if Mr C brakes sharply.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Always stow away loose objects safely and out of harm's way.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I'd better check to see if the road is clear ahead.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Well, I never! A drum kit in the middle of the road?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let's have a go.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Uh-oh, I think I might have woke up Mr C, and you know what that means.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That's a nice drum kit, I wouldn't mind keeping it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Surely he won't crash into that?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16But this is Mr C, crashing is his name and distraction is his game.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Those drums don't have a chance.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So here's a quick reminder of those three hazards.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23There's a pillow if he feels tired,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26a tasty sandwich, and of course his trusty camera.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Which one do you think will cause Mr C to crash today?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Off he goes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oi, steady on the accelerator, Mr C.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You're going a bit fast, Mr C!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Oh, no. He's feeling a bit peckish. He's gone for the sandwich!
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Watch out, Mr C!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Did you guess right?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52He tried to eat his sandwich. Oh, crumbs, Mr C!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Mr C is a fully trained stunt driver
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and all his crashes are performed by experts.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Don't be a dummy - don't try this at home!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23An amazing Superskills Challenge is coming very soon.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26But first, before you can even get near a car
0:09:26 > 0:09:29you need to learn the rules of the road, called The Highway Code.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Our teams have been studying furiously
0:09:32 > 0:09:35for the next part of the show, the Highway Quiz.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- Hello, teams.- Hello.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Today's Highway Quiz is called Quick Thinking.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43You may have guessed
0:09:43 > 0:09:46it's about how fast you can go without breaking the law.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49In front of you, you have speed signs to write answers on.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I've got questions for the adults and questions for the kids.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You need to get three out of five right to win this,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56the Highway Quiz badge.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- ALL:- Oooh!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06That's anywhere with street lights.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12You all finished? Can you reveal your answers, please?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16OK, Michelle, 30 mile an hour? You're right. Well done.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Cliff, unfortunately, you're just out.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21'Self-confessed speeder Cliff
0:10:21 > 0:10:24'thinks he can do 40 in a built-up area. Typical.'
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And, hey, well done, Mike.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Sarah, well done to you too.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Next question is for the kids. The question is:
0:10:36 > 0:10:37You all finished?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Right, guys. Can you reveal your answers?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I can tell you, you're not allowed on a motorway with a bicycle.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47So, Molly, you're the only one right!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Jono, 70 mile an hour? How fast do you have to pedal to go that fast?!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Stick an engine on it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Mums and dads, step forward for your question.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56On a single carriageway -
0:10:56 > 0:10:58that's a road with only one lane on each side -
0:10:58 > 0:11:01how fast can you travel when you see this sign?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04This is the national speed limit.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Have you got that?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13OK. Can you reveal your answers, please?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Ooh, we've all had the same!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I can tell you the correct answer is
0:11:19 > 0:11:2160 mile an hour.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Pat yourselves on the back, well done.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Question number four, that's for the kids.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Jono was quick there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Can you reveal your answers, please?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Ooh, you all had the same,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I can tell you the correct answer is
0:11:42 > 0:11:4370 mile an hour.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Jono, well done. Manisha, well done. Molly, well done.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Rhys, get in there!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49'The teams need three out of five
0:11:49 > 0:11:52'to get their badge, so Cliff and Manisha have to get this right.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It's time for the final question,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57question number five, and that's for the adults.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08OK, can you reveal your answers, please?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I can tell you, the speed limit
0:12:12 > 0:12:15is 60 mile an hour.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Unlucky, Michelle, you was just out.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well done, Andy! Well done, Cliff!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Unlucky, Sar, unlucky.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23So, after a bad couple of days
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I am so pleased to tell you that you all passed.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Congratulations. Jono, there you go.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Manisha, there you go. Well done, Molls!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well done, Dad, you deserve a high-five.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37There you go, Rhys, well done, be proud of yourself.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Guys, keep revising.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Our final show of the series, we've got a Highway Quiz showdown.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45As for you guys, don't go anywhere cos still to come,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47we've got our Superskills Challenge.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The moment is finally here, it's the Superskills Challenge time.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Today it's speed sense.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Everything our teams have learnt, we're going to test.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Today's challenge is all about speed awareness.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Our teams have to try to cross the line at the correct speed limits.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18The rookies' speed limit is 30 miles an hour,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and the parents' is 50 miles an hour.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22The rules are simple.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26If they go under the limit by up to 5 mile an hour, it's a point.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30But if they go one mile an hour too fast, that's speeding - no points.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The parents and the kids get two goes each.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Two out of four means a pass.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The tricky thing is that we've covered up their speedometer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42All they'll have is their skill and judgement to get their speed right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45And we will know instantly, as the second
0:13:45 > 0:13:49they cross the line their speed will flash up on our speedometer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53If they fail, they'll face a very mucky forfeit indeed.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56As always, they'll be watched over by our chief examiner.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01If Sandra says fail there's no arguing.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What Sandra doesn't know about road safety
0:14:04 > 0:14:05isn't worth knowing.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Trying to gauge your speed
0:14:07 > 0:14:10without constantly checking that speedometer is very difficult.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14The teams better beware.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22It's the parents up first, and it's Sarah to start.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24All right, Rhys? Come on the Greens.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Remember she's aiming to hit the speed line
0:14:26 > 0:14:28between 45 and 50 miles an hour.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30When it comes to judging her speed
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Sarah hasn't got a great track record.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Mum doesn't really know what speed she's going
0:14:36 > 0:14:38unless she looks at the thing that tells you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I don't intentionally break the speed limit,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I'm just unaware of the speed I'm going at.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Oh, dear, Sarah!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Today's guest judge, Detective Chief Constable Jonathan Edwards
0:14:48 > 0:14:50won't be pleased to hear that!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54So how difficult is it, driving and judging how fast you're going
0:14:54 > 0:14:56when your speedometer's blacked out?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Very difficult, what you tend to use is fixed features - trees, bushes...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Here we haven't got any, so it's even more difficult.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05All eyes on you, Sarah!
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Remember, Sarah is aiming for between 45 and 50 mile an hour -
0:15:12 > 0:15:14any faster or slower and she fails.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And without a speedo it's all down to her judgement.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Oh, 41!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- 41 mile an hour!- Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Just under!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Thought I was too fast.- Really?- Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- What are you going to do about that? - Speed it up a bit, but not a lot.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35So, that was 41 mile an hour - only four under what Sarah needed.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Unfortunately, that's a fail.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Second run. Only three chances left for the Greens to grab two points,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Sarah really needs to nail this.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Hold your nerve, hold your nerve...
0:15:49 > 0:15:5048 mile an hour!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Woo-hoo!- Yes, 48!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So it looks to me like she learnt from the first run,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and maybe she put some of those points into play.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05So, Sarah crossed the line at 48 mile an hour. Brilliant stuff!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So, the Greens just need one more successful run from Rhys to pass.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13But first, it's Andy from the Oranges, and he's feeling confident.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16No hesitation today, I think the points are in the bag.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17No forfeit for us.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19If we have to do the forfeit today,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22then my dad will be the one that has let us down.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Molly is less confident, but who will be right?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let's find out.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Is that the right speed, Dad? Cos I don't really know.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Oh, 37...?- 37!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39That's well off the pace. I thought he was good with speed?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I thought I was doing there, I thought I was doing about 50 there.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- And I was way out, 37.- Well, next time just go a bit faster.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It's second chance for Andy. He needs to do better here.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- He's definitely going faster.- I think that's a bit too fast, Dad...
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I think this is about right. - Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Yes! Get in!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- 45!- Oh, were we?- Yes!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- 45 mile an hour, fantastic. - Well done, Molly and Andy.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Great result, Andy.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Passing the line at 45 mile an hour.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Safe and successful run for the Orange team, which means
0:17:16 > 0:17:19all the pressure is now on Molly for later.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22'It's Cliff up next, but things have taken a bit of a turn.'
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Obviously the rain's coming.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28What's the worst effect that rain has whilst driving?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well, the most significant thing is how long it takes to stop.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35You must know only too well how affected cars are.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Absolutely. Water can in fact double the braking distance.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So Cliff has to be extra careful.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The Purples are not looking forward to this.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I'm just like, "Oh, no". Because speeding is my biggest weakness.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50This challenge shows exactly how hard it is to judge your speed
0:17:50 > 0:17:53and how important it is to be aware of it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I wonder if that wet road is going to affect Cliff?
0:17:57 > 0:17:5938 miles an hour? No good.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Oh, too slow! So I've got to go a lot faster.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Manisha's disappointed,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08and Cliff shows us just how hard it is to judge your speed.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I think that because it was wet, I slowed down a lot.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14So Cliff passed the line at 38 miles an hour.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17That's seven miles an hour off the minimum target, that's no good.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Time for his second run.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Just got to go faster.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26He looks a bit quicker this time, maybe a bit too fast.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It feels a little bit faster, I think I'm going faster.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Yeah, it seems faster.
0:18:33 > 0:18:3545 mile an hour!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- He's just made it!- Yes!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39He's done it, well done.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- The crash test dummies are celebrating.- They're going wild.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Fantastic, yes! I got one! Come on, bubs, you can do it!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Great stuff from Cliff, passing the line safely at 45 miles an hour,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55leaving the pass or fail in Manisha's hands.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Next up it's Michelle for the Blues,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00and so far in most of the Superskills
0:19:00 > 0:19:02she's been carried by her son, Jono.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05She can be slow when she thinks she's going fast,
0:19:05 > 0:19:06so we might struggle.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08The pressure's on now for me to do well.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Or I'm actually going to have a son that's better than myself in driving.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Here's your chance.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Well, she tells me that she's unconfident at speed,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and never drives over 50. So let's see how she handles this one.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- 45! Well done!- Super.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32She looked like she was going at the right speed.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35She did, she did, she approached it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Oh, look at the dummies, they're loving it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Well, look at them go!
0:19:40 > 0:19:45You know something? I think they are enjoying this more than anybody.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Yeah, I want to be down there.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Fantastic start! Successful run, hitting 45 mile an hour.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Time for the second run. If she gets it right,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57the Blues will pass without Jono needing to do any driving.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Speed...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Michelle seems happy.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Jono looks confident.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Is this for the pass?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Ooh!- So close, 43 mile an hour.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15She's just two miles under but it doesn't count.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Oh, look, the dummies are gutted.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21A couple of miles an hour off the mark for Michelle.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24All the parents have had one successful run,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28which means now it's all down to the rookies.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32They have two goes each, and if they get one right it's a pass.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It's swap time. It's Rhys up first.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37How's this, would you say, Mum?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Slow down a little bit.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42And remember he's aiming to cross the line at between 25
0:20:42 > 0:20:43and 30 miles an hour.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47He just needs one successful run to pass.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Keep it nice and steady, don't put your foot down or up.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Keep it as it is.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Lots of advice from Mum.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Is he going too slow?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Oh, 22!- 22.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03DUMMIES BOO
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- So you want to be only three or four.- A little bit faster.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Rhys is a few miles under. That's no good.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He needs to adjust for his final run.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16It's all on this, Rhys.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Yeah, I like it, Rhys. Come on, come on.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23That looks definitely faster.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- 34 mile an hour, so unfortunately...- He's overdone it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- We failed.- I think you're too fast.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Yeah, I know, we failed.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Aw, mate.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Rhys looks gutted.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38The first run was too slow,
0:21:38 > 0:21:39the second was too fast.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42It's a fail for the Greens.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Next up for the rookies, it's Molly.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48She also needs one successful run to pass the Superskill Challenge.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Here we go.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Is this about 30, Dad?- Yeah,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56about where you are now, stay like that.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Is that 30?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Ooh, 32.- Oh, you've gone over.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08She's two miles an hour over. Those two miles, well, it can count.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09I really thought you'd done that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I thought she was doing about 30.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It was really hard, though.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That's a good indicator, isn't it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17A good benchmark.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Oh! So close for Molly,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21but she was slightly over.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24A pass for the Orange team all rests now on this final run.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Slow, slow, slow. Slower.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Exactly like that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- That's a bit too slow, I think. - That's all right.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I hope you're right, Andy. Cos if you not, you'll fail!
0:22:35 > 0:22:3823 mile an hour!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Oh, you were right.- See, I said.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- You knew, clever girl.- Too slow.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You were right, sorry, Molly.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I should have listened to you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Oh, it's a fail for the Orange team!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Too slow on the final run and Andy to blame for that one.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Next up, it's Manisha. She needs one successful run
0:22:56 > 0:22:59to become the first rookie to pass the Superskill.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But the weather's not on her side.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So, Manisha needs to get one out of her next two attempts.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07She's under pressure.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Don't go any faster, keep slow. Slow down a bit.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Take your foot off the gas.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Lots of advice from Cliff.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16This is it!
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Yay, 25 mile an hour! Fantastic!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26THEY CHEER
0:23:26 > 0:23:29We passed, yay!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Do you know, they're so delighted -
0:23:32 > 0:23:33any excuse to dance.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I think we should have a dance,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- what do you think?- I think so.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Brilliant, the first pass goes to the Purples -
0:23:40 > 0:23:44and on her first run, so Manisha doesn't even have to go again.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Last up, it's Jono. Mum Michelle had one successful run
0:23:48 > 0:23:52which means he needs one success from two goes to pass.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Go on, Jono!
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Needs to be between 25 and 30 mile an hour.
0:23:59 > 0:24:0330 bang on! Well done, Jono!
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Jono, he's got 30! Yeah!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Great result, but Vicky has just picked up on something.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Do you know what I didn't like a lot?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- My hands off the steering wheel? - How dangerous was that?- Very.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- Where were we near? - People? Yeah, sorry.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Jono's overconfident. It's time for the examiner's verdict.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now, to be honest, you are that close
0:24:27 > 0:24:28for me not to have passed you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Because taking hands off the wheel, that's a bad habit.- Yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- And it's not funny, is it?- No.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- And, you'll never do it again, will you?- No.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Is that a promise?- Yeah. - There we go!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's a pass for the Blues, but Jono nearly lost that one.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Yeah, it wasn't nice being told off by Sandra.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47She can be quite a serious woman at times, I guess.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, I'm sorry that you've actually failed, unfortunately
0:24:50 > 0:24:52on this challenge.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55But, you know, you've been learning about speed
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and knowing what speed you're going, trying to gauge that speed.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01That's a really valuable lesson in driving.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Unlucky, guys.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07That's a fail for the Greens, but a good learning curve for Sarah.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I think journeys in future will be more speed-appropriate.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Appropriate to the roads I'm in.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Andy, how difficult is it to gauge your speed
0:25:14 > 0:25:16when your speedometer's covered up?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It's really hard, cos you've got nothing to go on.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20It's just instinct.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well, it was a good attempt.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Unfortunately one out of four, so it's not a pass.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You've actually failed this particular task, I'm sorry to say.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31But it just shows how important knowing your speed is
0:25:31 > 0:25:36and why it's important to keep on checking that speedometer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's a fail for the Orange team.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40But keep those spirits up, guys.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43My dad's definitely improved in his driving, a lot.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46He's not angry any more and he doesn't get frustrated.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I have to say, Cliff, what are you learning from this task?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You told me early days that you were a bit of a speeder.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I do drive a little fast, I just totally slowed down the first time
0:25:56 > 0:25:58but then, second time, I just scraped through.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So what's the Driving Academy taught you?
0:26:01 > 0:26:07- How to judge my speed.- Fantastic. I'm very proud of you.- Thank you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Well done, Manisha. Yeah!
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Purples get their second pass
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and another step in the right direction for Cliff.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16We're halfway through the Driving Academy now.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I wouldn't say I'm a changed driver, but perhaps I'm a more aware driver.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So far in our Superskills Challenges,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27we have Rhys and Sarah struggling with two passes out of five.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Manisha and Cliff are back in the race with two passes.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Molly and Andy remain on three passes out of five.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39But steaming ahead are the Blues, with a super-impressive four passes.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Shall we get down to business of handing out these, the passes?
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Manisha and Cliff, you never cease to surprise me, very well done.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51And Jono and Michelle, you've had a little bit of a blip,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55but you're back on track. Keep up the good work, there you go.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57As for you guys, it's forfeit time,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02and when it's forfeit time you see these - the toothbrushes of doom.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05There's a dirty car over there and I need it to be clean, so off you get.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Go on! Chop-chop! Get stuck in.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13'While the Greens and Oranges get tickled by my feather covered car,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15'check out what we've got for you next time.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19'There's a bumpy ride in store for our rookies in the Learner Lesson.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21'All right, me old china?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25'We find out what's causes Mr C to be distracted in Don't Be A Dummy.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27'Smashing stuff!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29'And it's crunch time, quite literally,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31'as our teams face the Ramp of Doom -
