0:00:02 > 0:00:06Britain's young drivers are some of the most dangerous in Europe.
0:00:06 > 0:00:13This programme contains some strong language
0:00:27 > 0:00:31In this series, we are following inexperienced teens
0:00:31 > 0:00:33to see what they are really like behind the wheel.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36SHOUTING
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Fasten your seatbelts because each week,
0:00:39 > 0:00:44two novices will be let loose on the road in their family car.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Don't start, before I punch you in your face.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49They believe we are filming a slice of modern teenage life.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54But in fact,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- it's all about their driving. - BANG
0:00:56 > 0:00:59My flaming car!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02What they don't know is that their parents will be watching
0:01:02 > 0:01:04their every manoeuvre.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The cars are fitted with state-of-the-art cameras
0:01:06 > 0:01:11and a hidden telemetry recorder that secretly tracks their every move.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- SHE SCREAMS - Ah! She's posing!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Don't drink that up in one go! Oh, my God!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Each team will go on three road trips, geared towards
0:01:20 > 0:01:22testing every aspect of their driving.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Get out of the car now!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27At the end of it all, aided and abetted by a former traffic cop,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30the parents will have a decision to make.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I wasn't happy with her. I worked really hard to keep my mouth shut.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36If they don't like the way the teens operate behind the wheel,
0:01:36 > 0:01:41both of them could end up with advanced driving lessons.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44But if they think they're good enough, we'll give the parents
0:01:44 > 0:01:48the cash to buy their kid a car they can call their very own.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Tonight we meet two very different teens.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Caroline 'Caz' Asabalutan.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59An Essex girl who's not backward in coming forward.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03What are you doing with your life? Mug. Idiot.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And Lloyd Robling, who likes to play the joker.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I just tried to open the front door with my car key!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11But behind this hapless facade,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13he hides a tragedy he's still coming to terms with.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Can we stop a bit?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Will it be reward or retribution for either of these teams
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- when their parents see them behind the wheel?- Bloody hell!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Oh, Lloyd!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Welcome to Barely Legal Drivers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39This is 19-year-old Caroline Asabalutan from Essex.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44I think I'm friendly. Bubbly character. I talk a lot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Events manager Caz lives at home with her brother Imun, sister
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Yinka and her mum, care worker Yemi, who divorced ten years ago.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58My dad talks... We don't talk to him often. We know where he lives.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03He knows where we live but it's like maybe twice a year, we might see him.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09And that's about it. I don't really have much of a relationship with him.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I used to. I used to be, like, daddy's little girl but not any more.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19Being a single parent, thank God they never gave me any problems.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25We are a very close family, I think. We get on. We have a lot of banter.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I love my kids! I love... I love them to bits.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I work hard for the three of them.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Yemi may be a doting mum but even she admits her kids aren't perfect.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Caroline argues a lot but I don't take that from her.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45What I tell you to do you should do.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49It is mostly the argument comes from Caroline.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Because Caroline never wants to take no.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- That is such a lie!- What about you?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- I cook all the time! - You never cook!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The only person that cooks, that helps me, is Yinka.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Because you don't cook. You, only when your friends are round.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- No, but if I'm hungry, I'll cook. - No, no, no.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10No, because none of you cook, it's only me that cooks.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- OK.- No, no, no. Not all the time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Not all the time, only when you can be bothered.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Caz isn't just boisterous at home.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22She's funny, loud, centre of attention, Caz.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25She is, like, life and soul of the party.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29A nightmare. I'll say that, she is a nightmare.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Despite only passing her test a year ago,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37she thinks she's the bomb behind the wheel.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I would say that I'm a good driver. I call myself a pro.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I think she thinks she's a better driver than she is.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50And Caz has an outrageous driving theory.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I drive better when I'm... I think I drive better when I'm tipsy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I think I focus more because I think, I don't want to crash.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Yeah, you heard that right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Not surprisingly, mum Yemi is worried about
0:05:01 > 0:05:03what she might witness this week.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08It's like spying on her because there was an occasion she was drunk.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10When she was in school.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Since then, I think she learned a lesson,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18but I'm not sure if she does drive when she's drunk.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22So this time, everything is going to... I'm going to see the facts.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27And if it's really bad, I'm going to ground her.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30She wouldn't do it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36This is 19-year-old Lloyd Robling,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38a Welsh drama student who lives in Cardiff.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41"The smell of sausages reached the wolf and he sniffed them..."
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Because he was on the roof.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47One thing our budding thespian isn't famous for is his focus.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53I'm quite dopey sometimes. I've got the concentration span of a fish.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Not great when you're learning lines.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58But for mum Karen and dad Richard,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01there's more to Lloyd than a lack of concentration.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Lloyd is a determined character, he's quite stubborn as well.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09When he wants something or if he's set his heart on something,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12he will go out to do it, extremely determined.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16He can speak his mind, makes friends easily.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20He's quite humorous.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Very strong-willed, very loving and we're very close as a family.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Lloyd goes to the University of Glamorgan
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and lives at this student flat in Cardiff with mate Aled.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Aled is my best mate in uni. He's a bit of a dick. Only joking.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Just the dopiest kid I've ever met in my life. He's just clueless.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Despite the mutual admiration, the duo are inseparable
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and known as Alloyd.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53If Aled goes home, Lloyd goes home.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55If Aled's in his room, Lloyd's in there.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56If Lloyd's in his room, Aled's in there.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59If you see them apart, you know something's gone on.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01They've probably had a little tiff or something.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- And he lifts me up like that. - Never apart, really.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Alloyd seems the perfect nickname.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12They study together and work out together.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17So this week, they will definitely be, erm, together.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Lloyd's driving history is colourful, to say the least.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24He started driving about two years ago.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29And, um, very confident with his driving.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34He thought he knew best and he had a few slip-ups.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37He had to take his test six times.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Within a month, he was unlucky enough to have a little bump.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45I drove home with the windshield still iced over
0:07:45 > 0:07:49and I ran into the back of a car. It wasn't a good day.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53While Lloyd was lucky he suffered no serious injury,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56a few months after he wrote his car off,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59tragedy hit his circle of close friends.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05About a year ago, Lloyd lost a school friend through a car accident
0:08:05 > 0:08:07and it affected him deeply.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12At that time, it was very traumatic for him.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14But he doesn't really like to talk about it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19He knows it happened and he remembers his friend in his own way,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23but it's not something that he talks about regularly.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And despite everything that's happened,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29dad Richard still has concerns.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33He's a teenager and I do believe he is responsible
0:08:33 > 0:08:37but like the rest of us, I don't think he's perfect either.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Caz and Lloyd don't know it
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but they have a week to show off their driving skills.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Depending on how they do, they could both be driving away
0:08:47 > 0:08:49in their own set of wheels.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Near Newport in Wales,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Lloyd is sitting down to lunch with his mum, Karen.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- You've got your holiday booked, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- How many going?- Ten.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So you are obviously going for the sightseeing(?)
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Yeah.- Staying in a hotel like The Inbetweeners, in the film?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13HE BURPS Hopefully.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Hello.- All right?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Although Lloyd's parents are divorced,
0:09:19 > 0:09:23the family remain close, with dad Richard often popping round.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30- Cheers, Dad.- Be careful.- I will. Don't worry.- Have fun but be careful.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Lloyd's completely clueless that the reason he's got the keys
0:09:33 > 0:09:36to his dad's car is so both his parents can secretly watch
0:09:36 > 0:09:39everything he gets up to behind the wheel.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Three hours east in Billericay, Essex, Caz's family are just
0:09:49 > 0:09:51back from church and getting ready to eat.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53You're a baboon!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Caz, can you do the salad? - SHE LAUGHS
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Why are you laughing? It's not funny.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Do it because you don't want to do anything. Very lazy.- I'm not lazy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You are.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07In this house, the banter never stops, especially over Sunday lunch.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Mum, what's this called again?- Dodo.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Every time you say it...
0:10:12 > 0:10:16OK, fried plantain. But we call it in Nigeria, dodo.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I don't want to know what they call it. One more time, one more time.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Dodo. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Before they can eat, the family say grace.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- OK, you pray.- And quiet descends on the Asabalutan household.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33But not for long.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35LAUGHTER
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Caz gets the keys to mum Yemi's car,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40but with some conditions attached.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Please, you're going to drop me at the station tomorrow
0:10:44 > 0:10:47and here's the key and you as well pick me up in the evening,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49maybe around five.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53OK. And then push her in the right direction!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And after that, you push her in the right direction and then...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58LAUGHTER
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Caz thinks the car is to help her get around.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07She has no idea her mum is going to be spying on her.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's early the next morning
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and Caz is supposed to be taking her mum to the station, as agreed.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Hurry up, please.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Then she's going to buy new curtains in Romford with mate Jake.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Caz is going to drop Mum off, then pick Jake up and drive
0:11:25 > 0:11:29the 13 miles from Billericay to Romford, via Brentwood.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32This should be simple for someone
0:11:32 > 0:11:34who thinks they're such a good driver.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Thank you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Once Mum's out of the way, she gets Jake.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Oh, my gosh, your hair looks so good.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Now for curtain shopping.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Have you got all the sizes with you? - Oh, shit.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56That would be ideal, wouldn't it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Do I go this way or straight?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Pick one, pick one, pick one. - Straight.- OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Not sure Caz should be letting Jake make the decisions on the road
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and then Caz has a serious lapse of concentration.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- BRAKES SQUEAL - Oh, my God.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh, that was close.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I didn't pay attention!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24If there had been a car in the other lane, it could have been fatal.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'm not going to lie, that scared me too.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No, but then I still survived.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30We're alive, aren't we? THEY LAUGH
0:12:30 > 0:12:33# Tonight let's get some
0:12:33 > 0:12:35# And live while we're young... #
0:12:38 > 0:12:42And with curtains in hand, the pair get back on the road again
0:12:42 > 0:12:46but it's not long before Caz's concentration drifts again.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- What's he doing? - What are you doing with your life?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Get out the road. - You can still get out, you mug.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Twat. Idiot.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56PHONE RINGS
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Her mobile's ringing. Is she going to answer it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, my mummy's calling me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Where is she?- At uni.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Do you want me to answer? Just say, "Caz is driving?"
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- No. It will distract me.- Good choice. Looks like Mum will have to wait.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Caz makes it home safely with the curtains. Mission accomplished.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24The next day, Yemi pops over to her friend Sarah's house
0:13:24 > 0:13:27for a glimpse into Caz's first journey.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- How are you? How are you doing? - Hi, I'm fine.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34With a teenager of her own, Sarah is the perfect person to help.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'm expecting conversation, quite a lot,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41rather than too much concentration on how she is actually driving.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45This is the start of Yemi's mission to see if Caz deserves her own car.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49TYRES SQUEAL
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Oooh! She could've had an accident on that one!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Why is she laughing?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- What are you doing with your life? - Get out the road.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02You can still get out, you mug. Twat. Idiot.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Bit of road rage there. - Rude.- 'You muppet.'
0:14:10 > 0:14:11PHONE RINGS
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh, my mummy's calling me.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Please don't answer the phone!
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- No!- 'No, it will distract me.' - Oh, that's good.- Good.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25When you're driving you don't need to chat too much
0:14:25 > 0:14:30and, you know, it distracts sometimes. I always tell her.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33You know, thank God she didn't even play the music.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- At least she didn't answer the phone, though.- Yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I... You know, she's lucky for that
0:14:39 > 0:14:42because I've warned her, don't ever answer.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Because she likes texting and all those things,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47thank God she didn't do that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Caz did well not answering her phone but her lack of concentration
0:14:50 > 0:14:54could scupper her chances of getting a car.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Over in Cardiff, inseparable mates Aled and Lloyd, Alloyd,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06are showing unusual behaviour for students.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07They're cleaning.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12There's a reason for the early start - rugby.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14They've got tickets to see Lloyd's brother,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17who plays professionally for Newport Gwent Dragons.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Going to go out there soon and have some food, then go watch the rugby.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Happy days.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Lloyd's going from his flat in central Cardiff, via his mum's
0:15:30 > 0:15:33to pick up the tickets, to the rugby ground in Newport.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's a journey of 26 miles, involving motorways,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39country roads and city streets.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43This will be the first time in a car since Lloyd's crash 15 months ago
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and since his friend died in a car accident.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Will his nerves get the better of him?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Feel weird, driving again?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Erm...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Feels natural, mate. Feels like this is where I should be.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- A remarkably relaxed Lloyd approaches his first tunnel.- Ready?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Try and hold your breath? - Three, two, one.- I'm shit.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It may seem innocent enough
0:16:15 > 0:16:18but playing games means Lloyd isn't concentrating on the road.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22And let's face it, concentration isn't his strong point.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- You're breathing through your nose, like.- I'm not.- Just breathe.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Fun and games over, the boys finally reach Lloyd's mum's house.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37First things first - laundry.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- My laundry for you.- No launderettes in Cardiff, are there?- No.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- There's not much anyway.- Right, OK.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I'll have to show you how to work the washing machine.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Will do. Bye.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53# You ain't nothing but a troublemaker, girl
0:16:53 > 0:16:55# You had me hooked again from the minute you sat down... #
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Forgot my wallet!
0:16:58 > 0:17:02# ..Trouble troublemaker that's your middle name... #
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Childish!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08With wallet in back pocket,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Lloyd starts pondering the great mysteries of life.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14You know on left-hand drive cars?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18The accelerator and all is in exactly the same place, isn't it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Do you reckon it'd be easier for left-footed people
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- to have it the other way round?- No.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Probably would.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Why?- I dunno.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31# ..I swear you're giving me a heart attack... #
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Finally, they arrive at the game in time for kick-off.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Unfortunately the closest our crew could get to the rugby
0:17:40 > 0:17:42is watching Lloyd go to the gents.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Oh, smells nice in here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The following evening near Newport, Lloyd's parents secretly meet
0:17:52 > 0:17:56to watch his first drive in over a year.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Ready?- Ready.- OK, here we go.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04He's not as nervous as I am. That's for sure.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07No. He's quite relaxed, isn't he?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- It's class to have the car.- Does it feel weird to drive again?- Erm...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13SHE LAUGHS
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's like The Likely Lads!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'Like this is where I should be.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Ready?- Try and hold your breath?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Three, two, one.- I'm shit.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Holding their breath through the tunnel. OK. Children. Yes.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I don't think that's particularly appropriate, is it?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I think we'll have words about that one.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38You're OK, yeah. Go, go, go, go.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- 'Not too bad.- No, it could be worse.'
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Driving seemed OK.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- You always want him to concentrate more, I think.- Yeah.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53And I'll probably never stop nagging him about it anyway.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58My father was still like it with me until I was about 49, I think.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02An otherwise good drive was let down by Lloyd's
0:19:02 > 0:19:06lapses of concentration, but there are still two more journeys to go
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and a lot can happen.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Coming up, Caz goes bump in the night.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- CRASH - Bloody hell!
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And Lloyd wraps his laughing gear around a breathalyser.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28It's Thursday night and in Essex, Thursday is the new Friday
0:19:28 > 0:19:31so Caz is about to show Billericay who's boss.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34This is ghetto, right now, what I'm doing.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I did it when I was in school, stuffed tissue in my bra.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Doing stretches, it fell out and I was like, "Blowing my nose."
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I was proper trying to style it out. It was well embarrassing.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49She is getting ready with Jake and her boyfriend of two years, Josh.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- I think I'm ready. - Think you're ready, yeah!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- I think I'm ready. Do you think I need another coat of make-up?- No.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I need to moisturise my elbows.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01ALL: Cheers!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Caz's brother Imun and his girlfriend Vicky
0:20:04 > 0:20:05join them for drinks.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Don't drink too much.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14If not, I will come down there and disgrace you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's me.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Cab's here!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21First stop, Billericay High Street.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Don't tell Mum.- Don't tell Mum!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30With the drinks flowing,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32conversation can turn to more important matters.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35If you put bronzer in-between your cleavage, like three strokes
0:20:35 > 0:20:39and then do an arch, it makes them look two cup sizes bigger.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Does it actually work?- Yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'd have a boob job if my boobs weren't the right size.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But my boobs, my boobs are all right, right now.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- There you go.- Oh, my gosh! - See?- I've got big boobs.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54The night is young and Caz has a cunning plan.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59The Red Lion does cheap... like, six shots for a fiver.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12They are only an hour into the night
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and Caz is about to hit the third venue.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Cheers, big ears. - ALL: Cheers!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Essex has been well and truly owned.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Good job Caz left the car keys at home.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The next night, we're in Essex again
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and it's halfway through Caz's week.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Tonight, she's going clubbing with mates Jess and Jake.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49We were thinking about going to Sugar Hut tonight.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Sugar Hut is more, like, dressy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:59Everyone's dolled up to the nines, trying to kind of impress.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06I'm driving so that's going to put a dampener on how much I drink, really.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's not going to completely stop me from drinking
0:22:09 > 0:22:13but I've got to think smartly about how much I drink
0:22:13 > 0:22:15and how long I have to sober up.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Caz is starting the night with a rose and lemonade
0:22:18 > 0:22:23before Jake and Jess demand shots and insist Caz joins in.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- I'm not going to do a shot.- Why not? - Because I'm driving.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Very sensible.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33They settle on brandy for Jake and Jess and a shot of water for Caz.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Good night...
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Don't drink too much.- I won't. I'm driving.- Don't drink at all.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46No, I can have a couple of drinks. I'll be sober before I come home.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- I will, I promise. Trust me. - Just act reasonable.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Bye, Mum.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56From her home in Billericay to the nightclub in Brentwood
0:22:56 > 0:22:59is a distance of eight miles. Not far at all.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03But it's Caz's first night ever as a designated driver.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08But five minutes in and Caz is already feeling like partying.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Oh, no, I really want to get drunk though.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- It's only Sugar Hut. - It's only Brentwood.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16But, no, not being funny but there is loads of police.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18There is loads of police.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Should I just call Josh's brother, "At three o'clock in the morning,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24"can you please drive my car...?"
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's only open till...
0:23:26 > 0:23:27two.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30They finally arrive and, looking to park,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Caz has a lapse of concentration again.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- CRASH - Oh, bloody hell!
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Mind the kerb!- Oh!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I- was looking at the parking sign!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Kill us! Oh, God! - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Mum didn't want her to drink at all, but after sloshing out large ones
0:23:50 > 0:23:53for her friends, Caz has a weak spritzer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05As the evening wears on, Jake and Jess carry on drinking
0:24:05 > 0:24:07but despite her boast about driving tipsy,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Caz is happy to nurse an empty glass.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- What time does the kebab van close? - Three or four.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Shall we say about, like, 20 minutes we'll leave?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Having had just two diluted drinks across the whole evening,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30the night ends with Caz driving all her friends home safely.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Cos I'm a good girl.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The following evening in Billericay,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Yemi and Sarah sit down for another peek at Caz's latest mischief.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51First up, her night on the town.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- The boyfriend carried her.- Yeah. - And the bag.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Is she drunk? Why is she carried?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11And then Caz's second trip,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14driving her mum's car to the nightclub in Brentwood.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- I won't have to pay parking, will I?- You don't... Oh!- Bloody hell!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20She's just gone and hit something.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25'I was looking at the parking sign!'
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- What'd she hit?- What's that...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- I don't know.- She's hit the kerb. She's gone over the kerb.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33And despite that, in spite of talking, you know,
0:25:33 > 0:25:34when they are talking...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- They are not careful.- She's not concentrating.- Exactly!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I want to see if she's going to drink.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So she's diluting her drinks.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54I always tell her, don't drink if you know you want to drive.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- Right. - So, I'm going to find out how much.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I've had in mind that I'm going to take that car from her...
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Right.- ..until she becomes reasonable.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I'm not saying she is not,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12but when going out with friends, for safety purposes, you don't drink.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14That's me.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Luckily, Yemi won't be alone in deciding whether
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Caz's performance warrants a car or advanced driving lessons.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Former traffic cop Judith Roberts has been casting
0:26:24 > 0:26:26an expert eye on Caz's driving.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28With 20 years' experience on the force,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Judith's job is to help and advise Yemi.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36'And there's the parking. I won't have to pay parking, would I?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- 'No, you don't.- Oh, bloody hell!
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- 'God.- Oh!
0:26:41 > 0:26:45'I was looking at the parking sign.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47'Oh, God.'
0:26:47 > 0:26:53Having viewed her second drive, I'm...
0:26:53 > 0:26:58I'm disappointed to see that she even considered getting into the car
0:26:58 > 0:26:59and driving her friends home.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Um, I think she should have been far more mature,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I think she should have said, "I'm not going to risk it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06"I'm going to leave the car here
0:27:06 > 0:27:10"and I'll get a friend, or Mum, or a taxi to drive us home."
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Even though Caz was safely under the limit, Judith has a zero tolerance
0:27:15 > 0:27:17when it comes to drinking and driving.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Caz has one more drive to turn things around.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Ah, ah...
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Way out west in Cardiff,
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Alloyd are putting the finishing touches to their hairdos.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Hairspray?- Decent.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I swear we're like women when it comes to getting ready, aren't we?
0:27:48 > 0:27:54It's the weekend! And tonight, Lloyd is hitting the town without a car.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00With him are mates Jack, Connor, and, of course, Al.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05They picked this location for its student-friendly cocktails,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09roughly translated as massive and ridiculously cheap.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Got a bit of Dutch courage, I'm not steaming
0:28:15 > 0:28:18but, you know, I've had a beer.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Yeah, I'm feeling good.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26To feel even better, Lloyd inhales another cocktail.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32And just to be 100% certain, he has another one. Oh, and a beer.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Yes, that'll help.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Finally, the boys depart for a club and a bit of a dance.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I've got no money left, so I'm not going to buy any more drinks,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49but if someone buys me one then I'm not going to refuse.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Even though I shouldn't probably have any more drinks
0:28:52 > 0:28:54because I'm pretty hammered.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00But I'm, you know, I'm good. Good. Top boy.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Here he is!
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Fish hook?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Look out, ladies. There's a full moon tonight.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Do we look like wankers?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Two days later in Cardiff, and Lloyd's leaving for Aberystwyth.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Now, if only he could remember why. - Why are we going to Aberystwyth?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- When?- Why?- To uni.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Yeah, but what...? - I'm not the best person to ask.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Something to do with uni. Er, yeah.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Lloyd's driving from Cardiff, via his mum's for laundry,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47to Aberystwyth for a uni away-day.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50The three-hour journey is the furthest he's ever driven.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54The big question is, will he be able to concentrate for that long?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58And driving up with them is classmate Ffion.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Fi, in the back there's a pot of yoghurt
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- that you can basically just drink. - I know.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Lloyd's planned pit stop to his mum's
0:30:05 > 0:30:07should only take a few minutes,
0:30:07 > 0:30:11but to get to his clean pants, he has to get the car up the drive.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15ENGINE REVS
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Oh, no.- Ha-ha!
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Ha-ha!- Oh, my God, son. You're so dull!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31ENGINE REVS
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Fantastic! Cheers, Lloyd.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36- Give it a push.- I've got to push?!
0:30:40 > 0:30:43FFION SCREAMS
0:30:43 > 0:30:46It looks like Lloyd's not ready for off-roading,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48but Ffion's been driving for two years
0:30:48 > 0:30:50and she knows which pedals are which.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56And that, boys, is how it's done.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Now for Aberystwyth and with the rain, one of the main
0:31:04 > 0:31:09causes of accidents on the roads, Lloyd will need to be extra careful.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- No cheating now.- Ready.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Or maybe not. The holding your breath game? Again?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21As day turns to night, the weather improves.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Six lanes of motorway turn to two lanes of country road.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30SINGS: "Someone Like You" by Adele
0:31:30 > 0:31:38# ..I wish nothing but the best for you too... #
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Alloyd's dulcet tones carry them all the way to Aberystwyth,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45where they wave goodbye to Ffion and finally,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48after five and a half hours for a three-hour journey,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50they arrive safe and sound.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- How good was the driving, Al? - It was good.- Fantastic.- It was good.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- No, it was fantastic.- It was good. - How are you getting home?
0:31:58 > 0:31:59It was fantastic.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06The following morning, hung over from the night before, Lloyd, Aled
0:32:06 > 0:32:09and Ffion arrive at their away-day.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Wisely, they've left the car behind and cadged a lift.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14I'm the only sober one here.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Can't find where we're meant to be.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18A bit lost.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22They're also late for class.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Because it was a late one last night,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27it's probably not the best idea to drive in.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30No point putting other people in danger.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Lloyd has a very good reason for being so sensible,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34though he rarely talks about it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39One of my mates died a year ago in a car crash.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I think it was just like...
0:32:44 > 0:32:45..possibly driving a bit too quick
0:32:45 > 0:32:49round the corners and the car toppled.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54And unfortunately he came off worse. So...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I wasn't driving at the time, so this the first time I've driven since it
0:32:59 > 0:33:02happened and, obviously, I'm a lot more careful.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Like, I don't... I was never an idiot driving.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Obviously, when you first pass,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13everyone drives quite quick, it's just what they do.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15There's no point, is there?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18It's just not worth it, is it? Not worth it at all.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29The following evening, Richard and Karen
0:33:29 > 0:33:32get to have another sneaky peek at Lloyd's driving and antics.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35First up, the night out with the boys.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41What is Aled doing?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Oh, Lloyd!
0:33:44 > 0:33:48He's got a little bit of a habit of getting his bottom out, hasn't he?
0:33:48 > 0:33:49'Do we look like wankers?'
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Oh, Lloyd.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56You know, I don't think I'd like to make a habit of watching...
0:33:56 > 0:34:04No. You know they do it, but...don't like seeing him drunk at all.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09After that eyeful, Richard and Karen steel themselves for Lloyd's
0:34:09 > 0:34:11second trip in his dad's car.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Oh, no...
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- Oh, no!- What's this all about? - Oh, no.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Just roll it back, Lloyd. - Where is this?- This is on the drive.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- He's...- My tyres. - He should've just rolled...
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I think I can smell the burning rubber, actually, on the laptop.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Richard may be regretting lending Lloyd his car,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39but it's ex-traffic cop Judith who gets the final say on
0:34:39 > 0:34:42whether he deserves his own set of wheels or not.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44He's driven all the way to Aberystwyth,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46the furthest he's ever driven.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52He hasn't been distracted too badly by his peers.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55What I do like to see is that he has taken the decision not to
0:34:55 > 0:34:56drive back to uni.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59That's a very responsible attitude to take. Good for him.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I think he's done quite well.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Lloyd's decision to get a lift to college has won him brownie points,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07but there's one more road trip to go
0:35:07 > 0:35:10and the next one will be his toughest test by far.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Back in Essex, there's just two days left before Caz has to
0:35:20 > 0:35:23hand the car keys back to her mum.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Today, she's going all the way to Coventry
0:35:25 > 0:35:28to visit an old school friend, Sophie.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33I have no idea what exactly we're doing tonight.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36All I know so far is that they're having a house party.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41And then we're going somewhere called Kasbah.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43What are you wearing?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Caz and her mates are wisely staying overnight,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49but she'll need to be relatively sensible
0:35:49 > 0:35:51because in the morning, she's driving everyone home.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Are you ready, guys?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Safety first!
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Coventry is 115 miles from Billericay.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02They'll be travelling around the M25
0:36:02 > 0:36:07and then up the M1 before taking the M45 right into town.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10All that motorway driving means the journey should take just
0:36:10 > 0:36:13over two hours in normal conditions.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17But for Caz, these aren't normal conditions.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37And the stress is really starting to get to her.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54With a constant stream of comfort food from boyfriend Josh,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57the rest of the drive to Coventry is drama free.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Caz's plan is simple.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Ditch the car, have a moderately massive night out,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11then drive safely home tomorrow.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I'm so ready to drink now. Now I'm not driving.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19The party's in full swing, the car's gone from her mind,
0:37:19 > 0:37:23and Caz's moderate night out is turning into a large one.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I think it will be a good night,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33because this is just like pre-drinks and getting to know each other
0:37:33 > 0:37:38but when we go out to Kasbah it'll be like dancing and chatting and,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39"Do you want to get me a drink?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42"Yeah. I'll get you a drink - it's only 80p."
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I'm planning to get a lot of drinks cos it's only 80p.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Not getting too drunk because I've still got to drive tomorrow.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I don't want to be hung over.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56But driving hung over makes you the worst driver in the world.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Caz may be kidding around
0:37:57 > 0:38:01but bringing up the driving better when tipsy theory again
0:38:01 > 0:38:03won't impress Judith.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13They all stick to the plan and party like there's no tomorrow.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Jess goes on to prove her point.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33And Jake is having a quick tactical chunder before carrying on.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Jake, what you want to drink?- I'll have a vodka and lem...Red Bull.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Back at the hotel, Jess and Jake are not slowing down for anything.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48But there are two people who have pulled back from the brink.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- We're going to bed. - She's got to drive...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54I'm being sensible because I'm going to regret it if I don't.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Good night.- Night!
0:39:05 > 0:39:07My eyes!
0:39:09 > 0:39:15It's noon in a cold Coventry car park. Everyone's feeling rough.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18But how about Caz?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20With one in six arrests for drink-driving
0:39:20 > 0:39:22occurring the next morning,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25the crew want to make sure about the designated driver.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Clean!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42The UK legal limit is 35 micrograms
0:39:42 > 0:39:45of alcohol for every 100 millilitres of breath.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Caz's result shows ten - well under the limit.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50She's clear to drive home to Essex.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58It's the end of the week.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Driving to Billericay to meet Yemi
0:40:00 > 0:40:02and her friend Sarah is Judith.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Hi! You must be Yemi.- Yes. - Judith Roberts.- How are you?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Together, they will watch Caz's final road trip to decide,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13is she responsible enough to get her own car
0:40:13 > 0:40:17or will she be heading back for advanced driving lessons?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Oh, my gosh! Stop indicating, you idiot!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24That's a big lorry and he's, like,
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I'm going to indicate and come in front of you
0:40:26 > 0:40:27when you're halfway through.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Twat.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34Look at her. To be so abusive or talking...
0:40:34 > 0:40:38She's already said that the worst thing that she can do is
0:40:38 > 0:40:41drive motorways and in the rain,
0:40:41 > 0:40:45so those are the two things she's not keen on.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48But she is actually not doing too bad, I don't think.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Driving tipsy makes me a better driver,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53but driving hungover makes you the worst driver in the world.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Now, this is the pattern that I'm seeing
0:40:58 > 0:41:00and this is what I'm actually not liking,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03as an ex-police officer but also as a mother.
0:41:03 > 0:41:10My main concern, before I make my decision, is her naivete.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13So the jury's out until she's here and then we'll have a chat
0:41:13 > 0:41:15with Caroline and see what she has to say.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Caz is on the way home to drop off the car keys.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23She has no idea what she's about to encounter.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Little does she know that her driving, and her partying,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31have been under scrutiny all week and that there's a car at stake.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- I've seen all of what you've been doing.- Oh, gosh.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Hi. How are you?
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Traffic officer. How awkward! You're laughing?
0:41:45 > 0:41:50- We've seen everything.- What? Was it bad? Why didn't you tell me?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Why would I tell you?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I was wondering why she was like, "Caz, have a good time,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58"be safe."
0:41:58 > 0:42:02I'm like, "Yeah, Mum, see you later." Oh!
0:42:02 > 0:42:08Caroline, I've been brought in here to look at the driving in more
0:42:08 > 0:42:14depth because at the end of this journey that you've been on,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18there's a chance of either advanced driving lessons
0:42:18 > 0:42:22if I think you need those, or if I think your driving is good
0:42:22 > 0:42:27and you need a bit more practice, then you get your own car.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33You should have told me, Mum.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Aw, man!
0:42:37 > 0:42:39OK, yeah, go on.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Now it's time for Caz to see the evidence.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- I remember what happened here.- Yeah.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- I'm glad you remember what happened there.- Oh! I knew...
0:42:56 > 0:42:58CRASH Oh, Bloody hell!
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Driving tipsy makes me a better driver, but driving hungover
0:43:05 > 0:43:07makes you the worst driver in the world.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11There's quite a serious line going along here.
0:43:11 > 0:43:16I'd like you to tell me what you think the worst bit of this is.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20I think the worst bit for me is the concentration side,
0:43:20 > 0:43:23because I never realised how much I don't concentrate.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25But there's times, I do things, like,
0:43:25 > 0:43:29there's times when people driving in front of me do things really silly,
0:43:29 > 0:43:31and I'm quick to sort out the situation,
0:43:31 > 0:43:33but then I don't realise how much
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I could be the one causing an obstruction.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Absolutely. You are the one with your not concentrating
0:43:39 > 0:43:43that could cause an accident.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45I'm kind of, it kind of...
0:43:45 > 0:43:47freaks me out a little bit.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Because you don't think about it.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52It is a bit scary when you get to watch yourself.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56My big issue that I've got to get my head around
0:43:56 > 0:43:58is your attitude to alcohol.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Because there has been a pattern right the way through this
0:44:01 > 0:44:06whole journey that you've been on. And that worries me.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09I should really not drink at all really, should I?
0:44:09 > 0:44:11It's not that I can't live without it.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Most of the time really it's the peer pressure, isn't it?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15But I've never seen it from an outside point of view.
0:44:15 > 0:44:21- Nothing wrong with coke and lemonade! - No.- Nothing wrong with J2Os!- No!
0:44:21 > 0:44:26- I know. - I would like you to do a drink awareness course
0:44:26 > 0:44:30and an advanced driving course and I think you will benefit from it.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- Yeah, but there's loads of people out there...- Exactly!
0:44:32 > 0:44:34..who drive worse than me.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38Ah, but you see, you've got to learn to drive better than them so that
0:44:38 > 0:44:40when they make a mistake, you can get out of it.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- OK.- OK? Mum, are you happy with that?
0:44:47 > 0:44:53I'm happy for you to take part in this because this tells you
0:44:53 > 0:45:00your responsibility, when to drive, for you to learn a lesson.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Caz did not drive whilst over the limit,
0:45:06 > 0:45:09but Judith's fears about her attitude to alcohol
0:45:09 > 0:45:12as well as the occasional lapses in concentration,
0:45:12 > 0:45:15means she won't be getting a car, for now.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26In Cardiff, Lloyd's got a reunion planned
0:45:26 > 0:45:29to visit schoolfriend Harry in Reading.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33He's going with old mate Meurig and Aled, of course.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37First up, the all-important pitstop for booze.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- We've got a real trek ahead of us. - Reading's not that far.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47If you know where it is.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Luckily, Lloyd knows exactly where it is.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Central Cardiff to Reading is 113 miles straight down the M4
0:45:56 > 0:45:58and should take two hours.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03The boys will stay in Reading and then drive back first thing for lectures.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- Mate, does that mean I really have to stick to 50?- No, I never do.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- I know, but... - That's advisory.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- Cos I just want to get there.- Yeah!
0:46:14 > 0:46:15The weather's awful,
0:46:15 > 0:46:19and Lloyd has a car full of passengers drinking alcohol.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20How's he going to cope?
0:46:21 > 0:46:26Hold one by the neck and put the other,
0:46:26 > 0:46:29leave your finger like that, and put the other one upside down
0:46:29 > 0:46:34and hook your finger round it, just sort of knock it off.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Well, go on.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Dick. Wait, I think you might have cut the glass there.
0:46:46 > 0:46:51- Oh, shit. Get out of this. - Eyes on the road, Lloyd!- Sorry.
0:46:53 > 0:46:58Finally, the boys gets to Reading safely and, at last, Lloyd can drink.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14Another quick couple of beers and the boys are ready to go.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Lloyd is making up for lost time. Anyone for several beers?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Then it's strawpedo time!
0:47:36 > 0:47:40Still not satisfied, the boys try snorting their drinks.
0:47:42 > 0:47:43Not a good idea.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48It's just as well Lloyd's not driving back tomorrow morning.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- What time's your lecture?- Oh.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52- Quarter to 11.- Ah.
0:47:52 > 0:47:57- 100%, you will not make it. - No, I will! I will make it.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01- Yeah, he will. - I took it easy tonight especially.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Back at the boys' flat and it's 3am.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10Wait!
0:48:10 > 0:48:12CROCKERY SMASHES
0:48:13 > 0:48:17- Whoa!- Watch it, watch it.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Ah, boys will be boys.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43It's 9:30, and Lloyd doesn't think he's going to be ready to
0:48:43 > 0:48:45drive back to Cardiff.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52Yeah, I couldn't drive. I'm knackered.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55But two hours later, they finally set off.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00However, after last night's mash-up,
0:49:00 > 0:49:03he could still have booze in his system.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07The crew wants to check he's fit to drive.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Having waited two hours to drive after waking up,
0:49:15 > 0:49:19Lloyd's well under the limit and he's good to go back to Cardiff.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Anyone know how to get out of Reading?
0:49:29 > 0:49:30A couple of days later,
0:49:30 > 0:49:33ex-traffic cop Judith is in Newport for the final viewing.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37- Hello!- Hello! Judith Roberts. - Hi, come on in.- Thank you.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41She sits down with Lloyd's dad Richard and mum Karen.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49- So Aled is drinking in the car there.- Not the best thing to do. Oh!
0:49:49 > 0:49:51No, it just went everywhere.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54- 'I think you might've cut the glass there...'- Put your foot down, Lloyd.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58- Hang on, he's in the wrong lane. - Because he's not concentrating.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05He's drinking now. He needs to know how many he's drinking
0:50:05 > 0:50:07if he's going to drive the next day.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08Yeah, but they forget, they forget.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13- What's this? - He's doing a breath test.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Well, I'm glad because he shouldn't drive if he's over.
0:50:17 > 0:50:23- How does that equate - .10? - 35 would be the limit.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25How do you feel about his drive?
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Generally, I think... I've been in the car with him
0:50:28 > 0:50:30and he's not a bad driver,
0:50:30 > 0:50:32but he need to improve, he needs to sharpen up.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35That is my biggest worry at the moment, you know,
0:50:35 > 0:50:40his lack of concentrating, his playing around holding the breath,
0:50:40 > 0:50:42not signalling...
0:50:42 > 0:50:46These are all things that he shouldn't be doing.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49- No, no.- He needs to be told.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Lloyd thinks he's simply popping by to drop off his dad's car keys.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58He has no idea that Richard, Judith and Karen are waiting for him.
0:51:01 > 0:51:07- Hello.- Hiya, love! All right? Got something to tell you.- What?
0:51:07 > 0:51:08We've been watching everything.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11- No, this is everything we've been watching.- What, as in...?
0:51:11 > 0:51:15Everything you've done, all the nights out, everything in the car.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17You reckon?
0:51:19 > 0:51:23- Well, let's have a look.- What? - Hi. I'm Judith Roberts.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26I'm an ex-traffic police officer.
0:51:26 > 0:51:32I've been looking at your footage. There's a bit of a twist.
0:51:32 > 0:51:36You either get your own vehicle to drive around in, or if we think
0:51:36 > 0:51:39you need more lessons then we'll get advanced driving lessons for you.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40OK.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44So, would you like to have a seat and we'll have a quick look through your drives.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46It's crunch time for Lloyd.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54- Ready? Try and hold your breath. Three, two, one...- Why?
0:51:54 > 0:51:56- Why are you doing that? - What, holding your breath?
0:51:56 > 0:51:58- In the tunnels. - you've got to concentrate.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01- I was concentrating, Mum.- No, it's not a good thing to do, Lloyd.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Oh, no. This bit's funny.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12- Yeah, is my tyre all right?- You all right? You got your belt on, Fi?
0:52:13 > 0:52:15- Good.- Whack it on, son.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17Good.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I'm not surprised at that, actually.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21They put their belts on all the time.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25So, what did you think you deserve?
0:52:25 > 0:52:28How do you feel - the way forward?
0:52:28 > 0:52:32Well, like, obviously I'd love a car,
0:52:32 > 0:52:35but, like, watching this obviously I'm going to learn from these
0:52:35 > 0:52:38mistakes now that I know what I'm doing wrong.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41I've dealt with too many young deaths.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43I've knocked on too many doors in the middle of the night
0:52:43 > 0:52:45- to tell parents.- Yeah.
0:52:45 > 0:52:51And it's generally through messing around or just not concentrating.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55Obviously I've been through it and it's just like, yeah, I know.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01- I would never want to put them in danger.- No.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07After the events of last year, Judith's words have touched a nerve.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Lloyd knows better than anyone that cars can kill.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Brings it all back, doesn't it?
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- But you've got to learn from your mistakes.- You do.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Sorry for my sobbing, but...
0:53:27 > 0:53:32I don't actually think you'd benefit from advanced driving lessons.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35I think actually you're quite a good driver.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39I actually think you would probably benefit
0:53:39 > 0:53:40from having your own vehicle.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47But you have got to promise me that you're going to concentrate and look ahead.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50- That's amazing. - Didn't expect that, did you?- No.
0:53:52 > 0:53:58- Don't know what to say. Thank you.- I think that's a good start, isn't it?
0:53:58 > 0:54:03Losing a friend has shaped Lloyd's attitude to road safety.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04He's proved to his parents,
0:54:04 > 0:54:09and Judith, that he's ready to get back behind the wheel permanently.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11- You're going to get a car!- I know.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14- You're going to get an insured car that you can drive.- That's amazing.
0:54:14 > 0:54:19I... It's not really like, I don't know, it's not sinking in.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23- I don't know what say.- You can choose it. You can choose the car.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27- That's amazing!- Within reason. - I'll have a Lamborghini, please.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36A week later, Caz is back behind the wheel,
0:54:36 > 0:54:40only this time under slightly more controlled conditions.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44- Don't turn here. Now turn! - OK.- Looking for the exit.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47I thought I was good driver before, but now I think I'm a rubbish driver.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51I hate driving in rain, it's raining today.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54I hate driving on ice, but we've got an ice thing.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57I hate spinning out, but I spun!
0:54:57 > 0:55:01So, it's like, facing all the fears and kind of knowing how
0:55:01 > 0:55:04to control them if I was put in that situation again.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Here he is, then!
0:55:10 > 0:55:13In Wales, it's been two weeks since Lloyd got the thumbs-up,
0:55:13 > 0:55:16and he's off to pick up his car.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18I'm absolutely buzzing. Like, ah, man!
0:55:18 > 0:55:24I haven't had a car in a year and a half. It's amazing. Dreams!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Dreams!
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Buzzing!
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Lloyd's got a car to be proud of.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36Let's hope he takes better care of this one.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40BOYS LAUGH
0:55:45 > 0:55:50Next time on Barely Legal Drivers, we meet two very different teens.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Scaring the hell out of me!
0:55:53 > 0:55:55OH MY GOD! ARGH!
0:55:55 > 0:55:59# And when we drink with George...#
0:55:59 > 0:56:01- Right!- Go, go, go, go!
0:56:01 > 0:56:04- You ran through a red light! - Oh, my god!
0:56:04 > 0:56:05I'm not leaving him though.
0:56:05 > 0:56:06There we go.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08Things are a bit too much.
0:56:08 > 0:56:09It's horrible!
0:56:09 > 0:56:11- CRASH - Ooh!
0:56:11 > 0:56:14- Just kind of scratched the wall. - "Scratched" the wall?!
