I rode like a idiot. I learned though.... Guess the main difference is I wasn't driving a 2 tonne murder machine.... (I always drove safe in my volvo 440 - learned when I was 17, passed with 3 minors after 8 weeks and 10 lessons) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10789#post-119358 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:29:16 +0000 Kenny 119358@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just watched the programme from the OP. Thought it was good, didn't have the effect that it makes me want to avoid driving again thankfully, but did make me recollect what I drove like when I was that age. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10789#post-119352 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:02:18 +0000 crowriver 119352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My kids were watching a re-run of 2011's 'Driving Academy': </p> <p>"CBBC’s Driving Academy – a top secret training centre dedicated to road safety – is determined to make the UK a nation of safer road users.</p> <p>During an intense course of master classes, under the watchful eye of Approved Driving Instructors, CBBC viewers and their careless parents learn about road safety and safe driving whilst having some serious fun along the way.</p> <p>Four children and four parents have just 10 days to change their bad driving ways before they face the Ultimate Driving Test.</p> <p>It's day one at the academy and Joe Swash challenges the teams to drive around a really tricky obstacle course and squeeze their cars through the tightest of gaps.

A wee trip there might be an idea for kids. Some of the crash damaged cars still had personal stuff in them, some had the roofs cut off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10789#post-119344 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:07:41 +0000 crowriver 119344@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They've got some driving lesson themed reality game show on CBBC too, which I happened across whilst my son and daughter were watching. "What are you watching this for?" I enquired. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10789#post-119338 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:38:20 +0000 wee folding bike 119338@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01s50lw/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01s50lw/</a></p> <p>Not easy to watch. </p>
