- 0:00Speaker 1: Stop.

- 0:03Speaker 1: One call is all it takes.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Prank call from Darren Whackhead Simpson. Exclusive to KFM Mornings.
- 0:11Speaker 1: All right, so here we go. It's prank time. Driving test.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. So Sheldon Barron's confession earlier did
- 0:19Speaker 1: her test 10 times before she got it.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Plus minus 10. Could be 11, could be 9, but thereabout.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Okay. So, struggled with that. Went to various testing grounds.
- 0:32Speaker 1: You know, you always look for the one that's sort
- 0:34Speaker 1: of the easiest.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Ten.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Ten.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Courses for courses. And I heard such good things about Caledon.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Everyone said Caledon. You cannot fail in Caledon.
- 0:45Speaker 5: Oh, yes, you can.
- 0:47Speaker 1: You were the first, in fact.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Oh, yes, you can.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Your name is on a plaque here. First failure in
- 0:53Speaker 1: Caledon history.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Oh, yes, you can.
- 0:55Speaker 3: And people talk about small towns being easier because there's
- 0:58Speaker 3: less traffic lights, less.
- 1:00Speaker 2: You know, difficult conditions on the road. But you still
- 1:04Speaker 2: got to drive that thing.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We all used to go in Durban. We used to
- 1:08Speaker 1: go to Winkelspreit.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:10Speaker 1: That was like there by Manzamtoti down the south coast.
- 1:13Speaker 1: That was like, that's where you go. You'll always pass.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But you know what? I passed in one of the
- 1:18Speaker 1: hardest districts, which was Pinetown. So first time, that's all
- 1:22Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like just putting it there.
- 1:25Speaker 2: We know the roads of Pinetown are diabolical.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. That's right. That's right. Did you... What was
- 1:31Speaker 1: the first time, Sibs?
- 1:32Speaker 2: A second time. I took a four-year gap between the
- 1:35Speaker 2: first and second test.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You got a degree in between.
- 1:37Speaker 2: In between, and I had to heal.
- 1:40Speaker 3: And then I went to a little town in the
- 1:42Speaker 3: Eastern Cape as well, Alexandria, that had one traffic light
- 1:47Speaker 3: and one pedestrian crossing.
- 1:49Speaker 1: And I passed. And Ramiz, how many times you?
- 1:52Speaker 2: No, first time. First time pass. Right here, opposite in Greenpoint.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Producer Brad, you?
- 1:57Speaker 2: First time.
- 1:57Speaker 1: First time.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Don't want to point out a pet. I wasn't going
- 2:07Speaker 2: to go there.
- 2:08Speaker 4: You were just asking innocent questions.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So, listen.
- 2:17Speaker 4: We all have a story.
- 2:18Speaker 2: We all have a story.
- 2:20Speaker 1: There was this urban legend inside. I don't know if
- 2:23Speaker 1: it was actually a true story, but an urban legend.
- 2:24Speaker 1: But it used to go around when you were doing
- 2:26Speaker 1: your test.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You know, so there was this guy. He was driving.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And he was busy with his test. And he just started.
- 2:34Speaker 1: He got out onto the road. And this kid ran
- 2:38Speaker 1: across the road. And he braked. Stopped. And he didn't
- 2:43Speaker 1: hit the kid. And the officer said, go back to
- 2:46Speaker 1: the yard. You've passed.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Wow.
- 2:51Speaker 1: That was the legend going around Panta. Whether or not
- 2:54Speaker 1: that story was true, I have no idea.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Heroes deserve their driver's license.
- 2:59Speaker 1: But I'd imagine if you can do that task, yeah,
- 3:02Speaker 1: you pretty much passed. Okay, so this lady is now
- 3:05Speaker 1: third go, been there. Third go, set up by the office.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Third go and failed again. Okay, but she ain't having
- 3:13Speaker 1: it anymore.
- 3:14Speaker 2: She's tired.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It's not me, it's you. And you know, there's a
- 3:18Speaker 1: lot of things where people go, you know, you've got
- 3:20Speaker 1: to pay the oak and you'll give it to you. Okay,
- 3:23Speaker 1: so let's get into it. Let me call her up,
- 3:26Speaker 1: test the water, and take it someplace.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Take it to a terrible place.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Let me take it somewhere. Hello? Hello, Mrs.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Van.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Yes. Hi, it's Inspector for Shear here. I'm calling you
- 3:49Speaker 1: from licensing.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Yes.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Hi, this is just regarding your license that you failed.
- 3:57Speaker 5: That's right, yeah.
- 3:59Speaker 1: On the record, yeah, is this the third time that
- 4:01Speaker 1: you failed?
- 4:02Speaker 5: That's right.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Basically, ma'am, there is an issue where some of our
- 4:07Speaker 1: inspectors are purposely failing people for various reasons.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Okay.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Now, do you feel that you were unjustly failed?
- 4:20Speaker 5: The first time I know that I failed, but the
- 4:22Speaker 5: last time when I went, he made me finish the docking,
- 4:27Speaker 5: the alley docking.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Yes.
- 4:28Speaker 5: And then she said, and when I got out and
- 4:31Speaker 5: he told me I failed, when I got out and
- 4:34Speaker 5: I walked to my, because I went through the learner school.
- 4:38Speaker 5: So when I walked out and she said, what happened?
- 4:40Speaker 5: And I said, he failed me. And then she said,
- 4:43Speaker 5: but for what? He said, no, I rolled the car.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got you rolling back.
- 4:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I mean, you're not allowed to roll back.
- 4:52Speaker 5: No, but I didn't.
- 4:53Speaker 1: You didn't.
- 4:54Speaker 5: There was four people standing and watching me and told
- 4:57Speaker 5: me that was not a fail.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I would like to grant you your license. I have
- 5:01Speaker 1: express authority to do that. But we have to go
- 5:04Speaker 1: through a few things first. Okay. I need to write
- 5:08Speaker 1: this up, all right? So I need to have given
- 5:11Speaker 1: you some sort of a test. Okay. Now, I can't
- 5:15Speaker 1: see you now, so all I'm working on is my ears.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Alright.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I need you to simulate starting the car. Make that
- 5:22Speaker 1: sound for me.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Okay.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Okay, now just rev your car a few times. You're
- 5:39Speaker 1: in first gear and make the noise of you driving
- 5:42Speaker 1: down the road.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Okay, but I just don't understand how this is going
- 5:48Speaker 5: to help me.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Okay, let me explain, ma'am. I can't just issue you
- 5:52Speaker 1: with a license and overrule what my esteemed colleague did.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Okay.
- 5:58Speaker 1: This is the way that I can write up here
- 6:02Speaker 1: that you have been on a test with me and
- 6:04Speaker 1: you have passed. Okay, all right. Okay, so drive down
- 6:09Speaker 1: the road. You're in first gear. Just stay in first gear.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Let me hear it.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Okay.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Now change to second.
- 6:17Speaker 5: Third gear.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Third gear.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Okay, go.
- 6:35Speaker 1: And just keep the engine going. Keep the engine going.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Make the engine sound.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Keep going.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Keep going. You're driving. Keep going. Okay, what speed are
- 6:54Speaker 1: you doing?
- 6:56Speaker 5: I'm doing 60.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Now I need to see your reaction. Then I'm going
- 7:01Speaker 1: to shout, there's a child in the road. And then
- 7:04Speaker 1: you need to grind to a halt with your brakes, okay? Okay.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So just put the car in motion. Drive. Drive. Keep going.
- 7:24Speaker 1: There's a kid in the road. And what's happened?
- 7:36Speaker 5: I've stopped.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Dead.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Dead.
- 7:39Speaker 5: With my foot on the clutch and my foot on
- 7:41Speaker 5: the brake.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Okay, you failed that. You didn't check your blind spots.
- 7:44Speaker 1: So we're going to have to do it again.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Cars in motion. Drive.

- 8:32Speaker 4: Okay What is that?
- 9:04Speaker 5: Okay, that is an ambulance.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Nope, that is in fact one of my colleagues.
- 9:10Speaker 4: What do you do?
- 9:13Speaker 5: I indicate and see where he is to make sure
- 9:16Speaker 5: that I'm not in his way. Tick, tick, tick. Tick, tick, tick.

- 9:24Speaker 5: You want to pull me off.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Okay, ma'am, what do you say?
- 9:27Speaker 5: Indicate and slag down and try to stop.
- 9:32Speaker 1: What you're supposed to say here is, oh, f * * *. Okay. Now,
- 9:37Speaker 1: I'm walking to your door. Ma'am, do you know that
- 9:40Speaker 1: you were doing 160 in 120 zone? Yeah, I say
- 9:41Speaker 1: no because I.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Won't go that fast.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Okay, but I say I was behind you at doing
- 9:51Speaker 1: 160 and I wasn't gaining on you at all, which
- 9:55Speaker 1: means that you were at a perfect 160. So, ma'am,
- 9:59Speaker 1: what I'm going to have to do is write you
- 10:01Speaker 1: up for a mandatory 500 grand fine. What do you
- 10:04Speaker 1: say to me?
- 10:06Speaker 5: I say thank you and I won't do it again.
- 10:09Speaker 1: No, you say, how are we going to sort this out?
- 10:13Speaker 5: No, I don't drive.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Maybe you should just give me 100 rand.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Why can't I give you 100 rand?
- 10:23Speaker 1: You want to bribe a police officer on your test.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I'm not doing that.
- 10:29Speaker 5: I won't bribe any officer.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Why all of a sudden the Afrikaans?
- 10:34Speaker 5: Yeah, but unfortunately I'm not. I do not bribe officers.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Okay, well done. You passed the test. Drive me back
- 10:44Speaker 1: to the yard.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Wow, are you driving a Prius?
- 11:07Speaker 1: By the way, I need to tell you, Mrs... that
- 11:11Speaker 1: you have passed your test. Congratulations. You are officially now
- 11:15Speaker 1: a licensed driver.
- 11:18Speaker 3: I'm a bit shocked. Why?
- 11:20Speaker 1: Because you failed the first three times. Yeah.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
- 11:24Speaker 1: How do you feel? Honestly, how do you feel? I'm alright.
- 11:29Speaker 5: It's a bit funny to do it like this.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
- 11:33Speaker 3: It is.
- 11:33Speaker 5: It is.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Also, very, very funny... for your colleagues as well.

- 12:24Speaker 1: Here on KFM Mornings, we've got news and sports. What's
- 12:27Speaker 1: the latest in the sports here, Sibs? We're getting a
- 12:31Speaker 1: lot of rugby stuff.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Very quiet on the rugby front. No one's saying anything
- 12:34Speaker 3: about South Africa or the Springboks, Darren.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Very quiet. Slow news week.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Right.
- 12:41Speaker 3: As I'm sure you're aware. But otherwise, tennis fans are
- 12:44Speaker 3: enjoying the US Open. And yeah, that's been what's going on.
- 12:50Speaker 3: And then obviously, Premier League is back. PSL is back.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Yep, soccer's all back.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Cricket is back.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I see so, yeah.
- 12:57Speaker 2: So summer, spring, summer. We're on.
- 13:00Speaker 1: We're live. The big story in cricket that I saw
- 13:02Speaker 1: was a South African dude that plays for Australia. He
- 13:06Speaker 1: got dropped for some reason.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Which are the Labushane.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Yeah, Manus.
- 13:10Speaker 2: That we refuse to call Labushane.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Manus.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Labuskachni.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Labuskachni, yeah. Good player.
- 13:17Speaker 4: Great player.
- 13:17Speaker 2: No, he's very good.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Okay, we've got some of your comments here from the
- 13:20Speaker 1: prank this morning.
- 13:22Speaker 3: I just want to know how many gears does that
- 13:24Speaker 3: car have and where can I buy one?
- 13:25Speaker 1: Because I think at one stage I counted maybe like 10.
- 13:28Speaker 4: So after all.
- 13:29Speaker 1: This, are you ever going to make sure that she
- 13:31Speaker 1: gets a license? No.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Now take me back to the yard. Yeah, that was
- 13:51Speaker 2: the cherry on top.
- 13:53Speaker 1: You know, we've got to complete the entire role-playing scenario.
- 13:57Speaker 2: But we joke, but the way that the world is moving,
- 14:00Speaker 2: electronic over the phone.
- 14:02Speaker 1: It's going to happen.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Driver's tests are something that's possible. And that's why she
- 14:07Speaker 2: believed it up until the very end.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Now everything.
- 14:10Speaker 2: AI instructor, AI tester.
- 14:13Speaker 1: During COVID, didn't we do driving tests via Zoom? I'm
- 14:18Speaker 1: sure we must. No, we were in court via Zoom.
- 14:22Speaker 1: That's right.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Anything is plausible.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Anything is possible.
