1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480

00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: The grande's are all about at school now. Two of

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: them went like last on the twenty seventh, which was

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: really Yeah, it was in the eleventh birthday that day.

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: She was not that impressed starting to school on her birthday.

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: Some are really excited and then some aren't.

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well don't you remember back That's what it was,

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: wasn't it like? You know, the nerds were excited and

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: those of us that like entertaining the class of the clouds,

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: they would have liked to have stayed on holiday a

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: bit longer. So, yeah, I think it is what it is.

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: And you can only live in hope that they get

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: there and they you know, their friends are all there

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: and they get some teachers that they like, because that's

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: quite important really and yeah, but it is what it is.

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: It's out of everybody's control. They just have to they

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: just have to wing it.

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Hey, some chat yesterday about another milestone in life, drivers license.

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: The government's set to change the way we get it,

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: extending the time that you spend on what's called the

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: learner and then chopping the final test from restricted to

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: full Who taught you how to drive?

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Well, my dad taught me to drive and I was

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: like fourteen. We lived in town. I wasn't one of

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: those country kids that learned. Yeah, we lived in town,

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: but dad, dad was very patient. He taught me to

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: drive in mum's little escort and yeah, I got my license.

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: I went the day I was fifteen and got the

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: learner part. You had a red owl one on the back.

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Oh so you you had plates back then when it

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: was horse and carriage.

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did it. It was a red plastic owl

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: that you stuck on the back of the back window

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: and people knew that you were And I think it

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: I think it had to be there. I'm going to

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: say a year, but it might have only been six months.

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: That's a long time ago. Now you had your license.

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: It was a full license that you got on the

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 2: day of your fifteenth.

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: So even with the plates, you could cut your mates around. Ye.

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that.

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny these days when you're driving around town

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and you get stuck behind a car that does have

45
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: those yellow plates as it is these days, in the window,

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: and you think, ah, just my luck. We really should

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: be more empathetic, shouldn't we.

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: Well, it's worse when you get stuck behind Roy because

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: here only does thirty five in town.

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: So now, well that's a farming thing. It's thirty five

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: in town, thirty five on the open road another one speed.

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: Would you consider yourself nowadays a good driver?

53
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I'm a good driver. I'm a reasonably

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: cautious driver that I can go when I have two.

55
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think people are nervous driving with me.

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: I hope they're not. And I would be very happy

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: to teach. I talked my that was heavy for my

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: boys to drive. Like we'd stop at the end of

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: the corner at the farm when they were just young,

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: and I'd say, right, you drive up the road.

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: And it's a whole nother discipline, riding shotgun with your

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: kids and teaching them how to drive.

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, lucky, lucky on the founder because the kids were

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: behind a wheel from the time they were really young,

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: so they picked it up quickly. But like with you

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: living in town, she'll just go to the driving school.

67
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: It won't be your Yeah, it won't be your care

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: un least you want it.

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's what the government's trying to do here.

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they're trying to say parents sanity because they're saying,

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's twelve months on your learners, but

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: if you go and do one of those defensive driving courses,

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: it chops it down. Maybe they're sublimely saying, don't put

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: yourself through all that stress and agony, just take the

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: easy options that the professional take care of it.

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: I agree with that totally. That's a good idea. And

77
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: they've got jewel brakes in their cars.
