Top Gear, Series 18
Jeremy:
Has anyone here seen the theory test? Anybody?
Audience:
Yeah.
Jeremy:
You have? Because most people of our age haven't, and none of the questions have got anything to do, as far as I can work out with driving. Now let me - can I give you some examples? [looks briefly at Hammond] You can answer this. "An elderly person... [gestures to himself] An elderly person's ability could be affected because they may be unable to...?"
Richard:
Eat toffees.
Jeremy:
No.
James:
Get an erection. [laughter]
Richard:
[looks at Jeremy's jeans] Wear jeans! [laughter]
Jeremy:
Funny. "Where's the safest place to park your vehicle at night?"
James:
In a police station. [laughter]
Jeremy:
Right, we've got a picture here. We'll bring up this picture. [screen shows school keep clear markings] Right. When - This is a real question, OK? "You must not stop on these road markings because you may obstruct... what?" [laughter]
Richard:
Landing aircraft!
Jeremy:
I mean, seriously, that is a question. He's managed to fail 92 times on that one.
Richard:
Those are not questions to pass your driving. Do any of them say, for instance, can you drive a car?
Jeremy:
No, no. I'm in the book now. This is what you buy your teenage child when they're learning to drive. "At an incident, a small child is not breathing. To restore normal breathing, you should breathe into their mouth, A sharply, B gently, C heavily, D tenderly?" [laughter]
James:
It doesn't say "tenderly"!
Jeremy:
I made "tenderly" up. Nothing to do with driving!
