Australia's Worst Driver
Anyone seen this on the TV here? It's on Sunday nights.
Frightening thing is that I do not think those contestants are the worst of the worst, they look like the average Aussie road user to me.
I've also wondered, how on earth did they pass their driving test in the first place, The driving testers who passed these people should be sacked. I thought parking, reversing and such was in the practical test, none of them could reverse on last weeks show, and as for the "wet" driving!!
Anyway I must be bored - I took the online worst driver test - I don't qualify for the show (all correct -16 out of 16 ).
For anyone who's bored in work here's the link

They ask you at the end where are you etc , male or female - so they can see where the worst and best drivers are by area in Australia at the end of the show. (I made sure I put I was born in the UK!)
cheers
P.S is the theory test as simple as this test? I'm still driving on my UK licence after 6years of being here (not supposed to be), I really should go and get my QLD licence one of these days!
Has anyone else got any other online tests/quiz links?

Don't they try to be the worst in order to get a prize? Do you think they're very authentic or just overdoing it? I'm not sure, perhaps I misunderstood the show. I caught a couple of minutes of it a couple of weeks ago. Some woman trying to pull out of a parking spot with her nagging, yabbering boyfriend in the car freaking out anytime she moved the car an inch. I think it looked a bit contrived but then I don't know, maybe I didn't give it much a chance. Not a fan of those types of shows. I think you'd have to catch them unawares to get a true picture.

I saw it the other week when one of the girls was trying to measure the oil by putting her finger in , then she realised there was a dipstick (she had never heard of a dipstick before).
The young girl is by far the worst, she will probably win the worst title.
Cheers
