Melanie:Hi there. Melanie from the Department of Oz-Speak.
Driving in Australia.
LILY sits in the driver's seat. Mariam is right next to her.
Lily:
So sorry. Always troubling you to teach me.
Mariam:
Always happy to help.
Lily:
It's so stupid. I already have Chinese license!
Mariam:
We have to follow the rules.
Lily:
So many rules...
Mariam:
We can't live without rules.
You’ll feel better once you pass the test.
Lily:
You should be a teacher.
Mariam:
I’m already yours. Should we do final checks?
Lily:
OK.
Mariam:
License?
Lily:
Check.
Mariam:
Log book?
Lily:
Check. I have the app.
Mariam:
Show me the records.
Melanie:
Dammit! I really need to stop using smoke as my entrance!
To get your driver's licence in Australia, you must first get your Learner's licence. Or as we say: L's.
L's drivers must practise their driving with a supervisor.
Lily is on her L's and is hoping to get on her P's. Her Provisional licence.
She must record her driving hours in a log book before taking her P's exam.
She looks ready, doesn't she? She totally understands all the basic road signs and rules, I hope.
Mariam:
Ready? Are you comfortable?
Lily:
Yeah, good.
Mariam:
Seat belt, Lily.
Lily:
Oh... seatbelt!
Mariam:
Remember to indicate. Turn on your blinker.
And go.
Slow down!
Lily:
What?
Mariam:
Road rules! No speeding. OK?! This is a 25 zone!
Lily:
OK! Not much fun.
Mariam:
OK. Turn left.
Have a look left and right. You can go it’s your right of way. Go!
Good.
Nice.
Speed hump.
Woah!
Lily:
See… easy!
Mariam:
Don’t smile and drive.
Two minutes. Log your kilometres in the app.
Lily:
On it!
That was twenty minutes.
Mariam:
Sorry. Long line! Next stop?
OK. Confidence OK?
Don’t run this lady over.
Fifteen minutes. I promise!
Lily:
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Mariam:
OK. That was my fault.
But isn't this fun?!
Lily:
Complete! I’m ready to take the driving test.
Mariam:
Ah yes! But you cannot drive like a speed freak in the test.
Oh… Is that really the time? I have to pick up my dry cleaning.
Lily:
Does that mean I get to drive fast?
Lily proudly puts P plates on the car.
Melanie:
Well done, Lily! She might be a bit of a speed freak but hey, she still got her P's. Look out for road signs, there's a time to go fast and time to take it slow.
Looks like she better act fast to get the shop of her dreams!
