0:00:02 > 0:00:03Four children fed up with their parents' driving.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Dad, will you please slow down? You're going too fast!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Four parents who've slipped into bad habits.- Bam!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13In four days, they'll have to face
0:00:13 > 0:00:16the ultimate driving test and our chief examiner Sandra.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Last time, there was seriously bad steering going on.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Our rookies experienced driving at speed and we saw celebrations...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Yes!- Yes!- Wooo!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29..and some downright disappointments.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31On the right!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- I think you're too fast. - Yeah, I know. We failed.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35The question is, though,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38will our teams ever be ready to face the ultimate driving test
0:00:38 > 0:00:43on the final day? It's day six at the Driving Academy.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Joe Swash, and this is Driving Academy
0:00:53 > 0:00:56coming at you from the beautiful St Athan in Wales.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58This is a show that aims to help four kids
0:00:58 > 0:01:02train their parents into being better and safer road-users.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Come on, let's get cracking!
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Let's go!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Coming up, bang!
0:01:09 > 0:01:10SCREAMING
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Our rookies take on the most extreme Superskills Challenge yet.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I want to stop!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19That's nothing compared to what their parents will have to face -
0:01:19 > 0:01:21the Ramp of Doom!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24SCREAMING
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Don't miss our nail-biting Superskills Challenge which
0:01:26 > 0:01:29will test our teams' nerves, reflexes and driving
0:01:29 > 0:01:31to the absolute limit.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, disaster!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And this is where it all begins,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36the Learner Lesson.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Each day, we're going to be teaching our rookies
0:01:42 > 0:01:45a different element of road safety to pass on to their parents,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and today, it's all about driving smoothly.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Although our rookies obviously can't drive on public roads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55here at the Academy's top-secret test centre, anything is possible.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57In charge of our Learner Lessons
0:01:57 > 0:02:00is elite driving instructor Vicky Lovell.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02She knows every angle of road safety.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Throughout the lesson, Vicky has a set of dual controls,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08so our rookies are always safe.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11First up, it's Rhys, and his mum can be a bit reckless.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So how does she cope with speed bumps?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18When my mum goes over speed bumps, what she does is
0:02:18 > 0:02:23she usually goes over them quite fast just to annoy me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27That's not a good example. Our rookies have to drive smoothly over
0:02:27 > 0:02:28the speed bumps without losing control.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32This will be just a small taste of what the teams will face
0:02:32 > 0:02:34in our Superskills Challenge later.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We're going to go right down to the end. Off you go.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Here goes Rhys,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and it looks like he's judging his speed quite well here.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Lovely! I want you to just stop here.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Lovely job. So do you understand? When you see humps in the road,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- you've got to be thinking, it's to look after people around.- Yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We've been worried that Rhys might have picked up
0:02:55 > 0:02:58some bad habits from his careless driver mum Sarah
0:02:58 > 0:03:01who has crashed and bashed her way through our challenges.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03So far, they've only secured two passes,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06so lets hope that Rhys's new knowledge
0:03:06 > 0:03:08can help Mum improve her driving.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Next up is Molly.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13She gets easily rattled under pressure
0:03:13 > 0:03:16so we hope she can learn a few tips and pass them on to her dad.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20My dad hates speed bumps because they make him slow down.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And they break people's tyres.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The reason they break his tyres is because he doesn't slow down.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27He just goes faster over them.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Slow and steady. Nice work, Molly.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38She seems to be learning about smooth driving,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40but what about her dad?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's never a smooth ride being in the car with my dad.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48You always want to get out and just walk the rest of the way.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It could be all down to you in the Superskills Challenge, then, Molly!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Over to Manisha.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55She's the most nervous of our young rookies
0:03:55 > 0:03:58and has really struggled in some of the early lessons.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Good. We're just going to carry on. - Does it seem bad at the moment?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Little bit bumpy over the speed bumps.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10What would have made that a bit smoother?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Ooh, um...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Little bit slower.- OK.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18So, a bit slower, Manisha. Something to pass on
0:04:18 > 0:04:20to your speed-loving dad.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Next time me and my dad are in a car and I see speed bumps,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27all the knowledge is in here, so I know what to do.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30We never know what Manisha's dad Cliff is going to do next.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33He's out of control one day...
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Oh! - ..and he's over-cautious the next.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Come on, Dad. We only have five minutes!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So which Cliff will turn up today?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46OK, last up, it's super-confident Jono.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I can't see him having problems with speed humps,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but I wonder how his mum handles them.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It can get quite tough in the back and it can get quite bumpy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yeah. Can cause a heart attack!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Speed bumps are there for a reason and should never
0:05:02 > 0:05:05be approached at speed or ignored.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Whoa!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Oh, dear. Do you think that was a good speed?- I'm slowing it down!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Do you see how good that is if you drive at the correct speed?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Oh, yeah, definitely. - That's much better.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And you'll definitely need that smooth driving later
0:05:20 > 0:05:22when we put you and your parents
0:05:22 > 0:05:25through the bump-laden Superskills Challenge with a difference.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29And, parents beware, as you're going to face the perilous Ramp of Doom.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh! Disaster!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It's that part of the show where we like to look at
0:05:36 > 0:05:39some of the silly things drivers do whilst behind the wheel,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42like playing with their radio or setting their sat-nav.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Some people even look in the mirror
0:05:44 > 0:05:47to see if they look good whilst they should be driving.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So here's a message for you guys - come on! Don't be a dummy!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Let me introduce you to the most easily distracted dummy
0:05:59 > 0:06:01here at the Driving Academy.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03His name is Mr Crash, and with good reason.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Whenever he's behind the wheel, he never pays attention,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and that always ends in disaster.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12The question is, though, what's going to distract him today?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So he has a book on the arm rest.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Then he has his work helmet,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and finally a pie on the dashboard.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Who ate all the pies, Mr C?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Our teams get a quick look round to work out which
0:06:25 > 0:06:27of today's distractions will cause Mr C to crash.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Now, remember, this isn't for points, so play along at home.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It's going to be the book.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Good spot, Rhys! You should never be tempted
0:06:35 > 0:06:36to read anything whilst driving.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40It's the helmet, because that would be a hazard if you brake.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yep, that helmet is a loose object that could go
0:06:42 > 0:06:44flying around the car if Mr C brakes too quickly.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And he's got some food on the front.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Of course, Cliff. Not only should there be no objects
0:06:49 > 0:06:53left on the dashboard, but if Mr C tries to eat that pie,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56that'll be dangerous. Anyway, I'm off to have a tea break.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Cup of tea, anyone? Slice of cake? Mr C?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Agh! Mr C!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Oh, no! That's my mum's best crockery.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Just this once, Mr C, please don't get distracted! She'll kill me!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Who am I kidding?! He's not called Mr Crash for nothing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Those three distractions are going to be too much for him.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Remember, all three objects could be dangerous.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24First up, we have a book on the arm rest,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28then there is Mr C's work helmet, and finally, that greasy pie.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Last chance to guess which one. Fingers crossed, Mum.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Off he goes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Nice and steady, Mr C, not too fast.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Mr C...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42No! He's picked up the book!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Whoa, Mr C!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Whoa!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Did you guess right at home? He was reading!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Mr C, you're not in my good books.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Mr C is a fully trained stunt driver
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and all crashes are performed by experts.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Don't be a dummy. Don't try this at home!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30A nail-biting Superskills Challenge is coming up very soon,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32but first, before you can even get near a car,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34you need to learn the rules of the road.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They're called the Highway Code,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and our teams have been studying them for the Highway Quiz.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48So, today's Highway Challenge is all about passengers dos and don'ts.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'm going to ask you a series of questions on passenger safety.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I need you to answer either true or false.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58If you think it's true, I need you to jump into the red car.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00If it's false, jump into the black car.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You need to get three out of five right to win this,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- the Highway Quiz badge.- Oooh!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Children, you are to go first. Here's your question.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Go! Run around!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Ow, my head!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26You all thought it was true. It is true!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's the driver's responsibility to ensure a child
0:09:28 > 0:09:30under the age of 14 is wearing a seatbelt.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Out you come, guys, well done! Adults, here comes your question.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Away you go.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Whoa, Andy! A bold move there going solo.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Let's see if it was a wise choice.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Andy, you're on your own.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57The rest of you are in the "false" car. The answer...
0:09:57 > 0:09:58is true!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well done, Andy!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Any child may sit in the front seat,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06as long as they are in the correct chair for their weight.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Kids, your question.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Away you go.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Remember, our teams need to get
0:10:18 > 0:10:21three out of five correct to win the badge.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24There goes Jono down the front. Well done.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25The answer is...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27false! Well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You all got the right answer.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32OK, adults.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Oh. They've all got in the "false" car.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I can tell you, the answer is false. Well done.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50You must be at least 12 or over 135cm
0:10:50 > 0:10:53to sit in an adult car seat and use a seatbelt.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Any smaller, and you have to get back into the kids' seat.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Go on.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Trying to milk it, see.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Trying to get as much air time as he can.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The final question is for the kids.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Away you go.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13This is the last question,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and all of our four teams have secured their badges.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20But let's see if Molly and Andy can get a top score of five out of five.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Jono's on his own. The rest have gone for "false".
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I can tell you the answer is "false".
0:11:27 > 0:11:30A seat with a belt must only be used by one passenger. Sharing
0:11:30 > 0:11:33a seatbelt could mean that you'd get crushed in a crash.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Ugh! We don't want that to happen.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Out of the cars, everybody. Well done.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So, teams, it's time to find out the results.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You all have got a badge!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Congratulations! It gives me even greater pleasure
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- to tell you that Andy and Molly again have got 100%.- Yay!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You must have been doing your revision! Here you go, guys,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57there are your badges. Look after them.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Now, remember, keep revising, because we've only got four days
0:12:00 > 0:12:02before our big Highway Quiz showdown. You excited?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04ALL: Yeah!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07As for you, don't go anywhere, because still to come,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09we've got our Superskills Challenge.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17The moment has finally arrived. It's the Superskills Challenge time.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21And this is our course. And we've called it A Trifle Challenging.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's going to be...a bumpy ride.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28We've got 100 cherries sitting on top of our trifle.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Our teams need to make sure that at least one remains
0:12:31 > 0:12:32by the end of the course.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Sounds easy, but I think this is going to be quite sticky.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The teams have to drive the trifle around our course.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It will be the kids off first, and once they pass the roundabout and
0:12:43 > 0:12:46the barrels, they all face a big problem - the serious speed bumps.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49That is where the cherries could really start tumbling.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Then it's a quick stop and the parents take over.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55They have to drive whatever remains of the trifle across a set
0:12:55 > 0:12:59of bigger speed bumps, before arriving at their nemesis -
0:12:59 > 0:13:01the Ramp of Doom!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05If you approach this wrong, you could lose the whole trifle.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's all about smooth driving. There are 100 cherries to start off with,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and you need at least one left at the end.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14They are the small red balls sat right at the top.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20This is Sandra, the Driving Academy's chief examiner,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23who will be watching our contestants with an eagle eye.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What Sandra doesn't know about
0:13:25 > 0:13:27road safety isn't worth knowing.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Plan your journey. Keep your driving smooth.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Respect the speed ramps and don't rush over them.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37The teams better beware as they take on Superskills number six.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Sandra, what are you looking for from today's challenge?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Today is all about car control and smooth driving.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It will be interesting to see how the teams handle
0:13:49 > 0:13:53the speed ramps. And the parents have got to take the Ramp of Doom.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- It's going to be tricky.- It will be.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, first up, we have Rhys and Sarah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The rookies are off first with the trifle. Here goes Rhys.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Let's see how they get on.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05First, they'll need to weave through the barrels.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Lovely smooth control.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Good boy.- He's good, isn't he?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12He's brilliant.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Everyone's impressed! Next, they go round the roundabout.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Rhys is handling things very nicely.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21No hint of Mum's recklessness and just the odd ball lost.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's brilliant, Rhys!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- So far, I don't think he's lost any cherries.- I'm very impressed.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Manisha's looking very nervous today.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Play it cool, Manisha.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Oh, no! That's a bit of a disaster at this early stage.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Manisha is not terribly confident, and this is not going to help her.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Come on! To the right! That's it, that's it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Keep it going.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Cliff's trying to talk her through it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Turn back.- Steer faster.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Faster, Manisha, steer!
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Oh, no! She's lost even more.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58But don't worry, Manisha, there's still loads of cherries left.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Jono's having no problems. With steering around the barrels,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04he's already at the roundabout without dropping a single ball.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08No! Two balls have gone! No!
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Oh! I take that one back!
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Molly's driving well, but she's looking really stressed.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19That's good. That's lovely and smooth. Just keep going. Keep going.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Dad's doing his best to calm her down.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We know she's not used to smooth driving
0:15:24 > 0:15:26when Andy's behind the wheel.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Don't jerk it. - I don't mean to jerk it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Don't start arguing, guys!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Dad, can you please swap now?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35That's it, good girl.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The rookies are heading past the final few barrels,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41and that was the easy bit.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Now it's time for their big moment.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48They have reached those serious speed bumps.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51This is really going to put them to the test. Jono approaches.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52He needs to be careful,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55as in his Learner Lesson, he was a bit over-confident
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and went too quickly.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Oh! There we go, over the speed bumps.- It's not too bad! Not too bad.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09Stay with the garage, Jono. Look where the garage is.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Oh! He's spilt a lot there. Those speed bumps are terrible.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I think all the balls have gone,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Here goes Molly next. Needs to hang on to those cherries.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Just hit them. Just hit them, you're fine.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Oh! There's trifle all over the floor.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40But are there any cherries left?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Third up, it's Manisha, who had a poor start.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46She needs to do well here. This is tough.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Oh, no! It sounds awful, it looks awful,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04but you have to hope there are a few cherries left.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Last, it's Rhys, and he isn't known for his gentle approach.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Good luck, buddy!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I'm seeing a pattern here, and Rhys isn't feeling too hopeful.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Oh, yeah, we've lost.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28There are a few cherries in there so far,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31but the biggest challenge is still to come with this ramp.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That's going to send them cherries flying.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36OK, it's swap time. The parents in the front, please!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Remember, the teams need at least one red cherry left.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44They're the red balls that started at the top of the ping-pong trifle.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Come on, Mum, we can do this. - I can't let my boy down again.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Sarah's feeling the pressure as she reaches
0:17:49 > 0:17:51the second set of speed bumps.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54She can't be in her usual hurry for this one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01She's very smooth coming through these bumps.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05This is the reformed Sarah driving smoothly.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Rhys is keeping a close eye on that trifle.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They were only white that fell.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18That was brilliant!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Michelle's next. She needs to keep a check on her nerves.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Caught the edge of that first one, you've got to take it easy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30She's handling the speed ramps very nicely indeed, Joe.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31They look very smooth.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Not bad at all!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Michelle's looking relaxed for the first time at the Academy.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Andy's up next.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Hold on tight.- Yeah, we'll have to. - This is going to be a bumpy ride.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And he's relaxed enough to joke about this one.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I hope he's not being over-confident.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Ooh! That cherry just went.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Oh, no!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Still a few cherries left, I think.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Remember, this is not a race, Andy. Cliff's up next.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Despite being a speeder, he's learned
0:19:10 > 0:19:12to take these challenges calmly.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Perhaps he can make up for Manisha's nervous performance earlier.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Slow and steady.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Ooh, just a few!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29There goes a cherry.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33But Cliff's keeping his cool. Well, that's the easy bit over with.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Now it's the big one. The Ramp of Doom.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Success or failure hangs on this one final humongous obstacle.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49And it's Sarah up first. She looks nervous.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Rhys, hold tight.- I am.- Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Whoa!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, disaster!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Sarah's not looking happy and I'm not sure there are
0:20:06 > 0:20:07any cherries left in that bowl now!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Sorry, Rhys, I panicked.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Will Michelle do any better?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Here we go.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18That Ramp of Doom looks scary.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21This will be a big test for our nervous driver Michelle.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Can we see any cherries?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, that wasn't too bad, actually.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34How brave you are!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36My face must have been a picture!
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Michelle, you're right, your face was a picture! Andy's turn.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42This is so hard.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- I think we're doing that forfeit. - Don't give up yet, Molly.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Keep moving. Keep moving. - Oh, I'm going to be sick!
0:20:51 > 0:20:52SHE SCREAMS
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Let's see that again on Molly Cam.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11That was typical Andy! Far too fast!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I don't think we've got anything left.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Secure the car.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We've got nothing left after that!
0:21:18 > 0:21:21You might be right, Andy. That was the worst yet!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23OK, last to the Ramp of Doom is Cliff.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Wooh! Smashes down.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I wonder what's left.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Well, quite nicely done.- I mean, it was better than Andy's attempt.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I'm trying to see any cherries. I can't see from here.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Shall we jump down and have a look? - Let's have a look.- Come on, then.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00They started with 100 cherries and they need just one left to pass,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but will anyone make it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05My dummies are doing a quick count-up. So, what's the result?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Sarah, in real life, how would you approach a speed bump?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14I think in the past, not like that, but in the future, just like that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Sandra, how do you think they got on?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Well, this is the serene super Green Team now, isn't it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Sarah, I've seen a complete turnaround.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Your attitude, responsibility, control.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26So much improved. I'm so proud of you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31It's the moment of truth. Dummy, can we have the bucket, please?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Thank you. Let's find out how many cherries were left in your trifle.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37None in there.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39But hold up a minute!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40What's that?!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Look at that! One, two, three!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Well done! Congratulations.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48There were three cherries left on your trifle.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51You only need to have one, so you've outdone yourselves.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Rhys, congratulations. Sarah, well done. Good job.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Super driving. - Brilliant stuff from the Greens.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00A pass and a real turning-point for Sarah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I think we're making quite a good team now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06We're back on track. We're halfway in the challenges.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10We've done six challenges so far and we've got three out of six.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I didn't want to let Rhys down, so with the total concentration,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18we got through it and we had three balls.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Michelle, start with you. You came into the Academy
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- as a hesitant driver, quite nervous.- Definitely.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26And you got over this Ramp of Doom so well.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28It looked like there was no fear at all.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31We've watched you grow. How did you feel about it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I was absolutely petrified before I actually reached the ramp,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37but I thought I've got to settle down and just go for it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Yeah, I'm so proud of you. What did you think, Sandra?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Oh, the cool Blues. Jono, have you seen any improvement in her driving?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Yeah. Definitely.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47We certainly have here,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49so I'm going to ask Joe to give us the result.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53OK, so hopefully, this is a bowl full of cherries.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You needed to get one to pass. Here we go. You got...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Hey!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Congratulations, guys! I can tell you, you got 13 cherries.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It's unlucky for some, but very lucky for you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It was unlucky for me. Well done, Jono. Well done, Michelle.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Jono and Michelle cruise into their fifth pass.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And Michelle's looking very confident.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I really surprised myself and I handled it really well.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We passed. It was a lovely feeling.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I fell really happy for her. She's got a lot more potential
0:24:20 > 0:24:24and if she built up her confidence a lot more, she can do more things.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So that was quite eventful. Sandra, what did you make of it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm going to talk to Andy most severely.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Andy, Andy, Andy, that's back to your old ways.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35What were you doing up this ramp?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well, I was trying to keep the same pace over the top of it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Keep the same pace?! You flew at that! You got into second gear!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Andy, really, a bit more respect. We're a bit annoyed with you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You could have damaged the car, and in real life,
0:24:48 > 0:24:49if you took a ramp like that,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52you could easily damage your own car. Cost you a lot of money.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Crash test dummy, come in with the result, please.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57OK, so how do you think you've done?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- None.- I can tell you, you've got...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02one cherry! Congratulations.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's enough to earn you a pass. Well done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Ta.- Andy, well done. - Cheers. Thank you.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10The Oranges pass by the skin of their teeth,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12but, Andy, you are not in Sandra's good books.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I shouldn't have gone over it as fast as what I did.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I did it purely to stop losing the balls out of the top,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22but I never thought of the damage that could be caused to the car.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So, team, how do you think you got on? Manisha?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Well, it's hard to say, really.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31The only one at the moment who knows the result is Joe.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Crash test dummy, bring over the bucket.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36OK, so...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I can tell you with great pleasure...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42You looked in my bucket without me...
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Who needs a bucket?! Well done! Well done!
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Congratulations! Congratulations!
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Congratulations! Well done.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You had five cherries left, which is a massive pass.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The Purples win their third pass in a row.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58What a turnaround for Cliff and Manisha.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I think we've really improved in our driving.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We have done ever so well and we have been trying our best,
0:26:04 > 0:26:05and I think that has really helped.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10We were ever so down. We were three down. But we clawed it back.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13We are now three wins in a row. We will keep the momentum going.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Today's challenge was fun,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18especially with the cherries falling off the trifle, it was great.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20But in real life, those skills are needed.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25So, at the end of day six, the Purples and Greens have passed
0:26:25 > 0:26:28three Superskills each. The Orange Team are ahead of them on four,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32but out in front, with a fantastic five out of six, are the Blue Team.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well, we made it through another day of intense training,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and I wouldn't have wanted to face the old Ramp of Doom.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- So shall we get down to business? - Yes.- Let's do that.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Here are your passes.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47And I can tell you that for the first time this series,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50every single one of you have passed! Congratulations!
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Cliff and Manisha, if you'd like to pass them down to Jono and Michelle.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Molly, would you pass them down to Sarah and Rhys?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01You all deserve a round of applause. Pat yourselves on the back!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04'So, no mucky cars, no nasty forfeits
0:27:04 > 0:27:08'for the first time in the series. These parents must be learning!'
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Check out what we've got for you next time on Driving Academy.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Vicky takes our rookies down Hazard Alley
0:27:14 > 0:27:16to test their reactions to the limit.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's crash-bang-wallop, as Mr C gets distracted at the wheel.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Will he ever learn? And we've got our craziest Superskills to date.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's going to be one hazardous day for our teams, that's for sure.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Don't you dare miss it!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It's getting closer. There are only
0:27:34 > 0:27:38four days left before out teams face the ultimate driving test.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Join us next time on Driving Academy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Until then, stay safe.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Oh, I'm going to be sick! SHE SCREAMS
