0:00:01 > 0:00:04Four children, fed up with their parents' driving...
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Whoa! That was typical Andy!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10..Four parents who have slipped into bad habits...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Baron knocked it over and smashed it up!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17..Just one day left before they face the ultimate driving test,
0:00:17 > 0:00:18and our chief examiner, Sandra.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Last time, our rookies faced some terrible weather conditions.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I can't see what they're doing.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26They keep splashing me with water.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And our teams were sent into a spin
0:00:29 > 0:00:31in our super icy, super skills challenge.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34It's a second away from disaster.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37With just 24 nervous hours to go until they face the ultimate test,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39will they ever be ready?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Oh, no! I'm going to hit the sign!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- I've used the break there. - I don't want to do this any more.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46It's day nine at the Driving Academy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Check me out, eh! I've only been here a couple of weeks
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I'm already driving like a pro! So, it's day nine
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and the ultimate driving test is just around the corner,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and things are going to get tougher for our teams.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So let's get cracking on another Driving Academy.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Come on, dummies! Put your back into it.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Coming up... Pay attention, Mr C!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, no, not again!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22They face their toughest manoeuvre yet.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Can they make a turn in the road,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27or will they just drive themselves around the bend?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, no, I'm going to hit the sign!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And our parents face an enormous challenge...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36literally, trying to drive a monster truck. Will it be too big to handle?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I don't think I'm doing very good here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Stay tuned for that, but first, it's the last ever Learner Lesson.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Since arriving at the Academy, our rookies have been shown
0:01:48 > 0:01:52every aspect of road safety, from attitude and awareness, to reversing
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and stopping, so that they can help their parents become better drivers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Although our rookies obviously can't drive on public roads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03here at the Academy's top secret test centre, anything is possible.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07In charge of our lessons is elite instructor, Vicky Lovell.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10She knows every angle of road safety.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Throughout the lesson, Vicky has a set of dual controls,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16so our rookies are always safe.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Today, our rookies have to tackle a turn in the road,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and it's a lot harder than it looks.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24First to attempt this is Rhys.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So look all around, because if we were on a busy road,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29there'd be cars driving behind us, people crossing the road,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- wouldn't there?- Yep, it's clear.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Steer in, then.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Straighten up before you hit the kerb. Straighten up.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Straight up the kerb(!)- Stop.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- If that was a kerb, what would we have just done?- I'd have gone up it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Now I wonder where he's got that bad habit from(?)
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Mum Sarah drives over ANYTHING in her path,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50so can Vicky sort out Rhys' turning?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54The wipers won't help you, Rhys(!)
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Look at the back of the car. Don't hit the cone.- Ouch!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Bang goes the bumper!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I hit one cone. I squashed it!
0:03:04 > 0:03:09But I do think I did better than my mum, because my mum would have
0:03:09 > 0:03:13really knocked two of the cones over, probably, with her reversing.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You and your mum really need to up your game
0:03:15 > 0:03:18for Superskills Nine later.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Manisha's turn.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Full lock.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Good. Stop before you hit the cone.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It might be easier with your hands ON THE WHEEL(!)
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Good job Sandra's not watching.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- You're happy that it's clear?- Yep. - Steer towards me.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Towards me. Stop.- Nice and steady.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Slow down.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Watch the cones!
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Once I went quite near to a cone,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44and that happened quite a lot, actually.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Look where you're going.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Slow down! Hands, Manisha!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Is that a little bit fast, darling? - Yep!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55This lesson isn't going very well for the rookies.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Can Jono do any better?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01You must only go up to the cones, and we musn't touch them.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Jono never seems fazed when he's driving.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Cones behind the car.- OK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Stop, stop. - But even he's had a little bump.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Steer lots. And lots. And lots.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Gets himself back on track, cool, calm, and collected.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Nice one, Jono!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Last up it's Molly. Don't panic!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Steer, Molly, or you're going to hit the sign.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Oh, no, I'm going to hit the sign! I don't want to do this any more.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Unfortunately, you have to, Molly. That's the idea of a lesson(!)
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Reverse back a little bit.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Steer towards me. Towards me. - Oh, what am I doing?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Can I please stop the car?- Towards me.- Can I get out? I'm trying!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Look over your shoulder. How close is the back?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Oh my gosh, we're going to hit the cones!- Stop, then, stop, then, stop!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm not good in situations like this.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'm not good in situations like that because I panic.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I just panic in case I'm going to hit something,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and I don't like reversing, and then going like that,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02and then doing it all again, and it's really annoying.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Good. Steer lots. And lots. And lots.- You can do it, Molly!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Good, well done. You turned the car around,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- so if it had been a dead end... - I almost died, though!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- But do you understand how important all the looking around is?- Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19What are you going to do when you're in the car with your dad next time,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- he's about to fly round...? - Tell him, "Dad, stop."
0:05:22 > 0:05:25The kids have learnt today that manoeuvring's really important,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29to go slowly, to look around a lot, because not all drivers are careful.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32When you're manoeuvring and concentrating on the kerb,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35there are other cars, other cyclists, other pedestrians,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38they'll walk past you, drive past you, or cycle past you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42That was a really tough final lesson for our rookies,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and it's not looking good for the Superskills later.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And if the rookies found it hard, how will their parents cope?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49They struggle to turn a small car,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53and they have to drive this 40-tonne monster!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You don't want to miss this.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- No, never!- I just never believed I'd be faced with a vehicle this size!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05But first, what happens when a driver loses concentration
0:06:05 > 0:06:07whilst behind the wheel? Don't Be A Dummy!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16This is the famous Mr Crash.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20When he gets behind the wheel, he gets distracted by everything.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24The question is, though, what's going to distract him today?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Right, first up, he's put his mobile phone near the gear stick,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33his high vis jacket, and his favourite leather driving gloves.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Get a grip, Mr C!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39First, our teams get a quick look around, and try and work out which
0:06:39 > 0:06:42of the day's potential distractions will cause Mr C to crash.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45This isn't for points, so play along, too.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Mmm!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Not sure, now.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- There is a mobile phone. - Good spot, Cliff!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Mobile phones are one of the biggest distractions.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Never let your parents call or text whilst driving.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- What do you think?- Jacket. He's going to get cold, isn't he?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- He's going to try and put it on. - Yep, you're right, Rhys.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Putting on or taking off clothes whilst driving is really dangerous.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Gloves.- That's right, Michelle!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If Mr C gets cold, he may put those gloves on.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Always pull over if you need to do anything that requires you to lift
0:07:16 > 0:07:20your hands off the wheel. While the teams decide on their answers,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23come and meet the new love of my life.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ah! Isn't she beautiful? That's better!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29She's beautiful, isn't she? Yeah, I thought you would think so(!)
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It took me ages to save up for this. I am so proud of her.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Mr C, come and have a look at my new car.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39No! No, no, Mr C! Watch out for the paintwork!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I'm terrified. Look at the state of his car! It's a bashed-up mess.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Mr C, please be careful! I haven't even driven it yet!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oh, no! Remember those distractions in the car?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54He has his mobile phone, his high vis jacket,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and those leather driving gloves.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59This is your last chance to guess.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Please, Mr C! Keep an eye out for my car!
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Oh, no! He's picked up his mobile phone and he's started texting.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13CRASHING
0:08:21 > 0:08:22She's a wreck!
0:08:22 > 0:08:27He was texting a mate! That's illegal! It could be fatal, Mr C.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Mr C is a fully-trained stunt driver,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32and all his crashes are performed by experts.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Don't Be A Dummy! Don't try this at home.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58A huge Superskills is coming up,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02when we put our parents in control of a 40-tonne mega truck.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Trust me, it's going to be a corker!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'm not going to do this. I've missed it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10But first, before you can even get near a car,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12you need to learn the rules of the road.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16They're called the Highway Code, and our teams have been studying them
0:09:16 > 0:09:19furiously for the next part of the show, the Highway Quiz.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22OK, guys, today's quiz is called On Your Bike.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26It's about cyclists on the road. I'm going to ask you five questions
0:09:26 > 0:09:30about bike safety. I want you to either answer with a yes or a no.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34If you think the answer is yes, pop on the green safety helmet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37If you think the answer is no, pop on the red safety helmet.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You need to get at least three out of five
0:09:39 > 0:09:42right to win this, the final Highway Quiz badge!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44You don't want to miss out on this. OK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Is it OK to cycle on a pavement as long as it's clear of pedestrians?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Pick your safety helmet.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54OK.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Answer is "no".
0:09:57 > 0:10:00If you do, you could face a fine of up to £500.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Congratulations, guys.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Pick your safety helmet.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21OK, the answer is yes, cyclists must obey traffic signals and road signs.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Congratulations.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Pick your safety helmet.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Remember, our teams need to get three out of five to win that badge.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38The answer is no. You must never ever hold on to a moving vehicle.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Well done.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Pick your safety helmets.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53The answer is no. You must never carry another passenger,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56unless the bike is specially designed to do so.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Well done.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58The final question:
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Pick your helmet.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09'They've all passed, but if they all get this next question,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12'that's a 100% for all four, a first for the Academy.'
0:11:12 > 0:11:13The answer is no.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16You'd face a fine for careless or dangerous cycling
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and using a hands free is dangerous too.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Who would like to find out how you got on?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I can tell you that you all passed! Congratulations!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Well done. Give yourselves a round of applause. You've been amazing.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Rhys, you end up with seven badges.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Manisha, you end up with seven badges.- Thank you.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Jono, you end up with five badges, Molly, you end up with five badges.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done, I'm very proud of all of you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49A brilliant result before the Highway Quiz Showdown, but first...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52This is the big one, the Superskills Challenge.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Our parents will have to work out how to turn this monster around,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58face it the other way and then drive off in it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00While our parents are doing that,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04our kids are going to be doing exactly the same in their cars.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07If they fail the challenge there is extra-mucky forfeit.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11The teams have five minutes to turn the vehicles around,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13leave the barriered area and cross the finish line.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18If either rookie or parent runs out of time, their team fails.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22As usual, keeping a close eye on things is our chief examiner Sandra.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29The Driving Academy's chief examiner's word is final.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What Sandra doesn't know about road safety isn't worth knowing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Keep away from those lorries.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40They can't see you as closely as you may think.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42The teams better beware.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Of course we couldn't just throw our parents into this challenge.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52So we gave them a surprise
0:12:52 > 0:12:55when we introduced them to the Academy's beast.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Oh...no...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05please tell me a small car comes out the back of it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- We're going to go in there?! - You're going to drive that.- Wow!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Have you driven anything that big before?- No, never!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Never?- Never ever, no.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Best go for it!- Oh, my goodness, you're joking!- Come on, follow me.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21After they got over the shock, our parents were given a safety lesson
0:13:21 > 0:13:23by expert driving instructor Neil Coughlin
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and then it was on to the challenge.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Sarah and Rhys are first to take on Superskills nine.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34They need to complete it in less than five minutes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Either one of them could mess this up if they don't concentrate.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Rhys is starting very well, making his first reverse.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Very nice, Rhys.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Normally, you need a special licence to drive one of these,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48but our parents are on our private site
0:13:48 > 0:13:52and Neil is on hand in case things go badly wrong
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and it looks like he may have to step in for Sarah.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01Rhys is doing OK, but the time is ticking. Reversing back now.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Needs to stay calm. Careful, Rhys!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Watch out!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Oh, no, he's knocked the barrier!
0:14:08 > 0:14:12That won't fail him, but he needs to stay calm to make this turn.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Things looking even worse over with Sarah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I think she's starting to panic.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'm not going to do this, I've right messed it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Stay calm, Sarah, we know you can do this.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Sarah came to the Academy with a seriously reckless attitude
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and her turn in the road didn't impress Sandra.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- That wasn't too bad. - Wasn't too bad?!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Which led to a few harsh words about her dangerous reversing.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Just not checking around, just not making absolutely sure.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Is it safe for me to move this vehicle?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47There are dead people out there because of things like that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I pray to God it would never be one of yours.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I just had a thought about Rhys, it could have been him.- Yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Harsh words, but they must have hit home - look at her now!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01She's looking in her mirrors. Look how carefully she's looking behind.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04She took a shoulder check - good for Sarah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Now THAT is something she never did
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- when I took her out on her assessments.- No checking.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Go on, Sarah!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12You have to beat that clock.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Meanwhile, Rhys is nearly there. Just needs that last turn.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Go on!- That way, come on. - Ooh!- That way!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- He's done it!- Yay!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Uh-uh-uh!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Oh, no, both hands off the wheel in celebration.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I really hope it doesn't cost the Greens their pass.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Rhys has done his part now, so it's all down to mum Sarah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I think your mum needs encouragement. Come on, Sarah!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Come on, Mum!- Come on, Mum!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Everything is on Sarah now and time is running out.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Got a message of support for your mum?- Come on, Mum, just do this!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Rhys REALLY wants this one.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Could she even make it in one with a sharp turn to the right?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Will I be able to get this round do you reckon?- Yeah.- Do you reckon?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Ooh, ooh, ooh! The finishing line is in site!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08How long have I got left?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Two minutes left.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15I think she's got it. Need to hurry up, go on, Sarah!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- There she goes, go on!- She's got to get the trailer to follow cleanly.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24(ALL) Yay!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Well done, Rhys.- Do you want to shout, "Well done, Mum"?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well done, Mum!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33BEEPING HORN
0:16:33 > 0:16:35A great result for the Greens.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Sarah making hard work of it, but coming through in the end.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40She's over the moon.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Keep your hands on the steering. - Sorry, oh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Oh, Sandra's going to kill me for that!
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Yep, she probably will.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Hands off the wheel in celebration, just like Rhys.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I think you could have a telling-off coming your way.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Next up, it's Cliff and Manisha.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02They had a great run passing four Superskills on the trot...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05but slipped up when Cliff lost control in the skid car.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, they need to get back on track.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Cliff's off to a flying start, looking confident in the truck.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Manisha is a bit nervous.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18This is the first time she's been without the help of her dad,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20but my Dummies are there to keep an eye on her.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Great mirror work from Cliff, checking those blind spots.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Whenever you see some lorry doing this, keep well away.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Keep away if you are a cyclist, if you're a pedestrian
0:17:33 > 0:17:37and if you're a car user. Give them room.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Uh-oh! I really hope Manisha doesn't get herself in trouble.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44In her learner lesson
0:17:44 > 0:17:46she had problems when she lost control turning
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and this time she's against the clock.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I don't think Cliff's worried about the time - he's nearly done this!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Is he going to make it through with this? No? Oh.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Has he overshot that? - Is he going to make it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Hooray!- Well done, Cliff.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Well done, Cliffy!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Cliff making short work of that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Manisha's now in a bit of a tight spot and all the pressure's on her.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I think she can do this. Come on, Manisha!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Bit faster on there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Keep steering.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31She's going to do it! She's going to do it!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Now straight back towards it. - Yay!- Yay!- Well done, Manisha!
0:18:35 > 0:18:41Great! Come and see them, they loved it, Manisha!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43'Yes! Purples looking so happy.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46'Manisha keeping her cool - that is one proud dad.'
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Third up is the Orange team.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Here they go.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Andy has had a habit of rushing things.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59He needs to slow things right down for this manoeuvre.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07Over in the car, Molly's making good headway, making her first turn.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Don't think I'm doing very good here!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Andy's turning that truck so tightly,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17if he keeps going, he could get stuck!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21At the moment Andy seems like he's getting himself in a bit of bother.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Whoa, Andy! This isn't like turning a car.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And over in Molly's car...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Oh, no, where do I go? I go in that corner there.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Molly, you're rolling... - Wah, am I going?!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36..things are also getting a bit panicky.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40In past Superskills, these two have had a habit of winding each other up
0:19:40 > 0:19:41in stressful situations.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44You're making me so nervous, Dad!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But now they are on their own, they seem to be staying a bit calmer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Blind spots are all right, yeah?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53No-one at the side of me or anything? No kids jumping out?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57This is a super safe Andy, looking out for everything.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Starting to turn out of trouble, but time is ticking.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Molly also looking good. Staying calm and keeping control.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I think Andy's going to do this!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Perfect, I think.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Are we all right there, boss?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14All right either side? Not going to hit nothing?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Blind spots all look good.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well done, Andy, well done!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well done, Andy!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Andy getting into trouble with his first turn,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27but soon cruising to victory.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30And Molly's just a few seconds behind him. Surely?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Yes!
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Yeah!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- And Andy is so excited, he doesn't want to stop.- Woo-hoo!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I'm getting meself one of these, mate!- Slow down, Andy!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44These are brilliant, aren't they? I love these!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I'm bringing her home, baby!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Imagine playing with this up our drive at home!
0:20:49 > 0:20:50CHEERING
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Andy! Both hands on the wheel! It's a 40-tonne truck!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00A bit of the old overconfidence and I just hope Sandra didn't see that.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We'll find out later.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Our final team is the Blues.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08All the other teams have made it so the pressure's on!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10This could be the biggest challenge for Michelle,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15who had a real confidence issue with her driving before the Academy.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20I've become unsure cos I've had two accidents in the last two months.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- I think he is a bit concerned about my driving.- Watch out.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I hope I haven't passed my nervous driving on to him.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29She has relied on Jono for a lot of the superskills,
0:21:29 > 0:21:34but now she has to turn a 40-tonne truck on her own. Scary stuff!
0:21:36 > 0:21:37They're away!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Michelle's looking nervous, but making her first reverse.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Over in the car, Jono's looking his usual confident self.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47No struggling there.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Back in the truck - this isn't the Michelle I first met.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Can you believe, Joe, this is Michelle. Michelle driving a lorry.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Before she came in the Academy
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- you'd never have dreamt she could manage this.- Look at this!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Handing this 40-tonne beast better than her own car.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Jono's reversing back towards the barriers. Careful!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Oooh!- Thanks, dummy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15A bit of help from the dummies and he is nearly there.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Michelle's moving forward.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Getting in a very tricky position.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Jono's heading out the gate. Yeah!
0:22:24 > 0:22:28But no reaction from Jono as he knows it's all down to his mum now.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Pressure really on Michelle, as time counts down.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Er...forward.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Starting to turn now and Jono's cheering her on!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Go on, Mum, you can do it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Michelle is at an impossible angle, but she's going for it!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Surely not?!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- That's it!- Come on!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Wah, she's done...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Well done, Michelle!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Well done, Mum.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Michelle conquering her biggest challenge
0:23:03 > 0:23:08and a huge step for her confidence before the Ultimate Driving Test.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Let's see what Sandra thought of it all.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Ah, well done, team!- Thank you. - Give yourselves a pat on the back!
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- That was superb.- Oh! Purple perfection!- Thank you.- Fantastic!
0:23:19 > 0:23:25Manisha, wonderful clutch control, excellent observation, so keep it up!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Cliff, you checked your mirrors, you checked your blind spots,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32you manoeuvred safely and carefully, top man! Congratulations.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Thank you.- Well done.- Yeah, well done.- Thank you.- Well done!
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Well done, Cliff and Manisha coming on in leaps and bounds.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Well, well! What a result!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Jono, I must say you made short work of your challenge,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47so congratulations, but, Michelle, what an amazing result,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51you should be very proud of yourself. Sandra, what do you think?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56I'm amazed. Is this Michelle who came to the Academy driving a lorry?!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's a lovely feeling, but it's made me realise
0:23:58 > 0:24:03that drivers driving big vehicles like this haven't got a lot of space
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and as drivers we've got to give them a lot of space.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08They've got a lot of blind spots.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It's a fantastic result to take into the final day.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Thank you.- Well done. - Thank you.- Fantastic stuff!
0:24:14 > 0:24:15A pass for the Blues
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and what a turning point for Michelle's confidence.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm actually quite shocked
0:24:20 > 0:24:23that I've been able to drive this massive vehicle
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and, er, actually pull it round.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well done, guys, fantastic effort
0:24:27 > 0:24:31and you done it in the time allocated as well.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, it's interesting. Molly, I'd like to congratulate you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38You did your task, you did it safely, you looked around.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Andy, before you'd stopped this lorry,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43you took your hands off the wheel.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- What is this?- It's a truck.- How much respect have you got for that?- Lots.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- How much respect will you have for a lorry driver in the future?- Loads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Never take that for granted.- Never will.- In your car, in any vehicle,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59keep your hands on the wheel until you've secured the vehicle.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- However, you did pass the test. - Yes! Well done, Molly.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05So, lots to congratulate,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09however, tomorrow I will be testing you in the Ultimate Driving Test
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and I will not accept that sort of behaviour.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's another pass for the Orange Team,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17BUT you nearly blew that, Andy.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Ah, fantastic effort, well done, Rhys! Well done, Sarah.- Thank you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24You looked like a true trucker up there! Rhys, how was it?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28It was quite hard cos reversing, I did hit a bollard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well, don't be too hard on yourself, you only touched it, but...
0:25:31 > 0:25:34taking your hands off the wheel before securing the car?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- You should know better, shouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Sarah, how hard it is to drive that?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42You can't see anything, anything behind you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Pedestrians can't see you and you can't see them.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49If I was to say that I'm angry about something you did, what would it be?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Same, taking my hands off the wheel. - Absolutely. In THIS monster!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56What I'm really impressed, with both of you,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59is the way you can control your cars,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03but BEHAVIOUR, remember, the most important thing on the road.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04A pass for the Greens
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and Sarah's been taught another important lesson.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I think if she didn't come to Driving Academy
0:26:10 > 0:26:13the same bad driver would still be here.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Hmm, yeah, we've learnt a lot here, both of us.- Yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I think I'll go home safer, more confident, in a good way,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21and generally just being safer on the road,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23especially with children in the car.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So that's all nine training days over
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and at the end of all the Superskills.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Manisha and Cliff finish on five passes out of nine...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Rhys and Sarah are ahead of them with six...
0:26:33 > 0:26:37but with an impressive seven out of nine are the Blues and Oranges.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Top work, guys!
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Driving Academy must be paying off
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- cos we've got four passes! - (ALL) Yay!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47You won't be needing the Toothbrushes of Doom any more!
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- (ALL) Yay!- Let's celebrate! There you go, Sarah, there you go, Rhys...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53'So, no forfeits today
0:26:53 > 0:26:56'and just one more challenge to go - it's the big one.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00'It's all or nothing next time at the Academy!'
0:27:00 > 0:27:01For the last nine days,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05they have been tested on every element of road safety.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- That could be some kid on a bike. - ..Rhys, it could have been him.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12There have been shocks and surprises.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14That was typical Andy!
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Smashes...
0:27:16 > 0:27:17and crashes,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21and of course those hideous mucky forfeits.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23But all that goes out the window,
0:27:23 > 0:27:29as next time our four teams have to face The Ultimate Driving Test!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's judgment day on the Driving Academy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Miss it and miss out!
0:27:36 > 0:27:37That's it, training's over.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40On the next Driving Academy, our teams will be facing
0:27:40 > 0:27:41the Ultimate Driving Test.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Don't you dare miss it! Until then, stay safe!
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh, am I going?!
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Hooray!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Come on, Mum!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd
0:28:06 > 0:28:10I'm getting myself one of these!
