Maureen Rees
Welsh cleaner Maureen Rees became a household name in Britain after spending
hundreds of pounds on lessons and failing the practical test several times.
She failed to pass the test another two times during the series as well as
the much easier written exam known in the UK as the theory test.
Maureen's memorable moments include moving into the overtaking lane of a
dual carriageway in the path of an overtaking car, and accidentally running
over husband Dave's foot.
She eventually passed in the last episode in an automatic, though after the
series finished she passed a manual test. Maureen became quite a celebrity
and even released a single: her cover of Madness' "Driving in My Car"
reached number 50 in the UK singles chart, and even fronted a government
awareness campaign to increase awareness of road awareness.
Others
Teenager Danny wanted to pass his test so he could visit his girlfriend in
Preston. Although he passed first time, he had already broken up with Jill.
An older lady called Joan passed her test at the beginning of the series
(even though it took her a while to realise that she needed to switch on the
ignition before the car would move), but had "lost her nerve" and needed
lessons to rebuild her confidence.
The main instructors were Pamela Carr from Streetwise Driving School and
independent Paul Farrall.
Celebrity Driving School
A four-part celebrity version was produced in 2003 in aid of Comic Relief
[1]. Celebrities taking part included Gareth Gates, Paul O'Grady, Nadia
Sawalha, Natalie Cassidy and Jade Goody. They found out live during the Red
Nose Day telethon on 14 March if they had passed. None of them had. Mel
Giedroyc was the narrator. |
