The Undriveables

Every year around 17,000 learner drivers sit their test for the seventh time, with less than a third getting the final thumbs up to be let loose on Britain’s roads. These desperate would-be drivers aren’t naturals behind the wheel – they’re nervous wrecks that are a hazard on the highway. Any driving instructor in their right mind would think twice before taking them on – but they’ve yet to meet our knights in shining aluminium; a super breed of driving instructors who believe they can take any disastrous learner driver and rescue them to roadworthiness. In this brand new driving series, a trio of Britain’s top instructors put their reputations on the line as they attempt to get Britain’s most desperate failed learners through their test in just 5 days. Our 5 driving tutors are some of the best in the business; most from an elite group of ‘Grade Six’ instructors that are officially recognised by the Driving Standards Agency as achieving a ‘Michelin-star’ standard in driving tuition. With only 2,500 of these top-flight ‘Grade Six’ instructors nationwide, our pros fall proudly within the top six per cent of instructors. Their mission is simple - to sort our hapless learners’ dreadful driving once-and-for-all and help them gain the licence they need to get on the road. It’s a feat that will change our learners’ lives, but it can it be achieved in such a short space of time?
