We've never seen anything like it, Lisa. Yes, 3 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: how many goals did it take for you to get 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: your license? 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: One? 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: Just one? 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: One? 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: Same here? Yep, not necessarily the case. These days things 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: have changed. Some data out that's one in five West 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: Australians are taking four or more attempts to pass their 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: driving test. 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: So and that's more than doubled in the past decade, 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: that that number of drivers taking that many attempts. 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: And we had to do the driving hours before we 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: even went for our test. 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: Back then, well there was, there wasn't a set number 17 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 3: of hours. I'm not too sure. I'm not even sure how. 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: It's a long time ago. You're asking a lot of me. 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Back when everybody drove the manual, Yes. 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: And when I got my horse and carriage buggy. 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: When you go around the front and crack up the 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: engine clop. 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: No, yes, cut the engine. No. 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: I'm not too sure if we had to do a 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: certain number of lessons. But we didn't drive at night 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: or on the short freeway that we had or anything 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: like that. 28 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: We just so we did. 29 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: We did a few three point turns, a couple of 30 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: parallel parks. A hill start, yes, it was very important 31 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: because we were in a manual. 32 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: There is that and then. 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: Down here at East Perth up the hill you know 34 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 3: where the licensing center was, the place you'd take a 35 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 3: cut lunch in a book two when you had to 36 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: go and renew something. 37 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: I had a hard time doing a hill start because 38 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: I did my license in a small country town that 39 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: had no hills. So I had to go and do 40 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: it on the railway ramp and it was made of gravel. 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: And the copper said, look, you know if the wheel spinner, mate, 42 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: bit mate, don't worry as long as you don't go backwards, 43 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: so pouring out of the back of the car. But 44 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: I didn't go backwards. 45 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: Well, what can be about four or more attempts? 46 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: Is it because they're being very strict on, you know, 47 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: making sure that you're really. 48 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: Good or are people just terrible drivers? 49 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: Because I do have I've always had questions about the 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: whole driving license issuing system. It's like, if you go 51 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: enough times, you try enough different. 52 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: Instructors or whatever, you will eventually hit on one that goes, oh, 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: go on have it. 54 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: But surely not all of us should be driving. Surely 55 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: not all of us should be out there on the road. 56 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: I mean, have you driven lately you. 57 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: See what's around us? 58 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Yes, I have. 59 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: I have a feeling that maybe some people should. 60 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Not have licenses, should be taking the bus. 61 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: But eventually, eventually you do seem to get one. And 62 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: that is what we're on about. 63 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: Because my daughter went for her first driving test this week. Yep, 64 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: didn't get it, but not unusual. 65 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: But in the city, and like it's currently unheard of 66 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: to get it first time there. 67 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: And you know, I mean I. 68 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: Also you said she went after school. It's a bit 69 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: is he time in that area? The road's getting very busy, 70 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: then they sort of peak out. Well, yes, that is 71 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: good to the test, but that is more once again, 72 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: more of a test. Now it does have to be you, 73 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: of course, to get into the book of records. 74 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: It has to be.

But there's a little 115 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: bit of the story as to why I had a 116 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 4: second attempt. The first attempt. This is back in the 117 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 4: day when there was a Dot branch in Rockingham which 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: is now part of the shopping center. All gone. 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: Yes. 120 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 4: First time I went out to the driving Prince examiner 121 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: was sitting in the passengers there that they do. I'm 122 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: aland to have the radio on right coming back to 123 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: the licensing center, and I could hear no radio, and 124 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 4: I could hear a car coming over the speed bumps 125 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: exiting the shopping center. I noticed it wasn't stop, so 126 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: I claimed the brakes on and the examiner's flitboard went 127 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: flying off into the dash into fail. You send saved 128 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: his life. Yeah, I'm literally probably accurate. Yeah, sen you 129 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 4: started and heard me going off, and I'm trolley about 130 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: the fact that toiled me because I've faked his life 131 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 4: back and back then. I don't know about now, but 132 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 4: back then you could only ever do one chest in 133 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: one day. So if you again to come back the 134 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: following day, Senor Sarden, who'd all of this and went no, no, no, no, no, 135 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 4: get back here at four o'clock we'll go and do 136 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: it again.
