Hi folks,

Seen the following one...

Barely Legal Drivers
Season 1 Episode 1 of 6
Tommy & Chantelle New series. Documentary following Britain's young motorists, who are said to be among the most dangerous in Europe. Each week, teenage drivers take to the road in the family car, believing they are filming a slice of modern life - unaware their parents and a former police traffic officer can see their every move. In the first episode, Tommy's behaviour in and out of the vehicle is a cause for concern, leading his dad to rethink their relationship. Meanwhile, Chantelle's road rage, along with her addiction to driving using her phone, makes for uncomfortable viewing for her father. Narrated by Stephen Mangan (Green Wing)

Looks like it could be siilar to Sun Sex and Suspeicious Parents but with twonkish driving...

Could be some fun.

Anyone watching?

applepie2100 · 03/04/13 - 02:04

I'm watching this now and getting ready to hide behind the couch!

LW09 · 03/04/13 - 02:04

I like bad driving programmes. It makes me feel better about my own.

newda898 · 03/04/13 - 02:06

I disagree with the idea of rewarding these people with new cars based on what they've shown us so far.

But lets hope the parents choose the driving course option.

applepie2100 · 03/04/13 - 02:06

Tommy sounds like the kind of person who shouldn't have a licence.

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:06

Yep - and as Keeping Britain Alive would remind me too much about Gidiot et al - this is good catharsis.

Yep - and also always fun watching crap drivers..

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:07

Bristol up first...

If Chantelle is that impatient re food.... cue potential RTCs..

Let the fun commence!

applepie2100 · 03/04/13 - 02:08

Let the carnage commence more like.

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:09

That's what I meant. ;-)

"Drive really carefully" Famous last words...

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:10

"Put a condom out the window" - yeah brilliant... IDIOT...

applepie2100 · 03/04/13 - 02:11

I get the feeling it will be all downhill from here...

Susan_A1951 · 03/04/13 - 02:11

Caught this channel hopping. Did someone really say that she drives better tipsy? :eek:

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:11

Head down in the car while doing the condom...

Er - yep...

12 points, 1 year ban, retake extended test....

applepie2100 · 03/04/13 - 02:12

Surely at the very least that covered carless driving??

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:14

OUCH! Sarnie, no belt, mobile...

Without due care - 3-4
Mobile - 3-6
No belt - 3?

I reckon this drive alone could get her banned.

[Deleted User] · 03/04/13 - 02:15

Wondering how she is going to get credit and insurance for a range rover. :eek:

[Deleted User] · 03/04/13 - 02:15

Surely the old bill will be watching this while rubbing their hands?

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:15

6 points, Without due care (not sure of penalty for that(

I can't believe the tone of this programme; it's treating this as a big joke. Even the voiceover is breezy and light-hearted, like it's Come Dine With Me or something. These drivers are putting lives at risk. It's terrifying to think that they're on the roads....not funny at all.

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:16

£58 grand... and kiddo - you'll NEVER going to manage the insurance...

alcockell · 03/04/13 - 02:17

Umm - Light-hearted until the reckoning...

I agree, and having a police officer tut tut while watching a laptop.

They should be charging her instead. There's video evidence right there.

Waiting to see the traffic coppers opinion this one!

Hey there!
