Driving Test for Boy Racers
The
government has done much to try to improve the quality of those who drive on
our roads with the introduction of such things as the written driving
test.
Now The Bods Files can exclusively reveal that the government has launched
pilot projects for a number of more specialist driving tests. We sent our
intrepid reporter, William Smith to investigate the new Driving Test For Boy
Racers, currently being piloted in Milton Keynes.
- Examiner:
- William Smith? William Smith?
- Will Smith:
- That's me.
- Examiner:
- Right then. If you'd just like to sign here. Can I see your provisional
license please? Right. Yep. That seems to be in order. If you'd just show me
to your car and sit in the drivers seat whilst I check the suitability of your
vehicle.
- Will Smith:
- Here we are <gets in and slams door>
- Examiner:
- Ah yes. <slowly> Ford Capri GTi. Go faster stripes. Good. Tyres not
inflated correctly. Great. Fluorescent yellow radio aerial and comedy car
sticker saying "I run on four stars, baby!" <gets in car>
Right sir, that all appears to be in order. Now then, perhaps you could tell
me the bra size of that young lady in the red jumper.
- Will Smith:
- Er... 36C?
- Examiner:
- Close. More like a 36D. Either way, they are a juicy pair of jugs. I'll
let you have it. Now I'd like you to pull away from the curb and drive down
the street in an appropriate manner. <massive car revving. Music comes on
at full blast. Car rooms down the road, Music volume is reduced...> Take a
left into the street on the left then take the third on the right and park in
the car park of the Coach and Horses, order a pint and I'll have a double
scotch on the rocks. <fade out and back in again to the sound of car doors
slamming> Right. I'd like you to cruise down this street.
- Will Smith:
- Cruise?
- Examiner:
- Yes. Like you're trying to impress the chicks and hopefully bag one,
although we do not have time in the test to actually go to the motel. That
section is however covered in the advanced driving test.
<Car stereo switches to some slow RnB. Hear the sound
of women in the background going "Hi there", "C'mon over here big boy" and
"What a guy">
- Examiner:
- Right. I'd like you to pull up against that Escort at the traffic lights
and rev your engine aggressively. Please make gratuitous gestures at the
driver and when the lights change color, attempt to out run the vehicle.
- Will Smith:
- <Vrooms engine. Shouts> Up yours mate, Call that a motor? Ponce!
<screech of tyres>
- Examiner:
- Okay. Can you now tailgate that blue Volvo in front, flashing your
headlights and beeping your horn appropriately. <honking> Now take the
next right and pull up next to that brown Mondeo.
- Will Smith:
- Right. <screech>
- Examiner:
- Can you turn off the engine and the radio please. Now then, can you tell
me what the sign on this card means?
- Will Smith:
- Rose and Crown.
- Examiner:
- And this one?
- Will Smith:
- Err... Swan and Three Cygnets?
- Examiner:
- What's the minimum speed limit in a 30mph zone.
- Will Smith:
- Fifty five.
- Examiner:
- Does driving a convertible with the roof down in the rain impress the
chicks?
- Will Smith:
- No. It just makes you look like a complete twat.
- Examiner:
- What should you do when approaching an It's A Scream pub?
- Will Smith:
- Put your foot down and drive away as fast as you can.
- Examiner:
- What are the red lights on traffic lights for?
- Will Smith:
- To stop the rest of the traffic so that I can drive on through.
- Examiner:
- Right... <scribbles on clipboard> Okay Mr Smith <pause> what
does MSM mean?
- Will Smith:
- Err... MSM... err... Mirror signal manoeuvre?
- Examiner:
- Marston's Single Malt, Mr Smith, Marston's Single Malt. A fine ale which
you neglected to try, choosing in preference, Fosters. You have to drink
something stronger than cat piss Mr Smith. Your cruising technique also needs
improvement although I'm sure this will improve in time and should not be
detrimental to your driving <pause> Congratulations Mr Smith. You have
passed.
- Will Smith:
- <stunned pause> Well... err... thank you.
- Examiner:
- Good day Mr Smith.
- Will Smith:
- Good day.
Well now that has been revealed, don't you just feel safer whilst driving
now that you know that the government is trying to improve the quality of
driving so much? I know I do.

Background Information
First published on this site on 11 February 2001, The Driving Test for Boy
Racers is a little sketchy thing I wrote for no particular reason.
Since then it seems to have been picked up by a few people and indeed
linked from a few boy racer sites. Although I've never quite worked out
why...
