Transcript of Video #1 - Introduction - Kyle's Drive Test

Announcer: Kyle just finished a project for his high school media class. The project is a video about how to pass the driving test. His classmates went for a drive with a DMV examiner to learn about the rules of the road. The examiner gave them a lot of information. Kyle learned a great deal while editing the project. He was so confident that he scheduled an appointment to take his driving test as soon as he turned 16. Let's see how he did...

Examiner: Okay, turn off your engine please.

Kyle: So, how did I do?

Examiner: Well, you made a few mistakes.

Kyle: Mistakes? But I learned so much making the video and I studied the DMV handbook.

Examiner: Studying the handbook is great. And I really enjoyed your video, by the way. But there's more to being a good driver. You need to be able to apply your knowledge behind the wheel.

Kyle: Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. So, I passed though, right?

Examiner: Well, the mistakes you made weren't serious, but you did make more than what is allowed for passing. I'm so sorry, Kyle.

Kyle: I didn't pass? I can't believe it. What happened?

Examiner: There's just some things you need to work on. And, you know what? We can go over them right now if you like. It'll really help on your next test.

Kyle: Yeah, I guess I could use the help.

Examiner: I'll tell you what... While you were making your video, we made one too. We talked to DMV examiners about why some people don't do well on driving tests. And it turns out there's some common mistakes like the ones you made. Shall we take a look?

Kyle: Yeah, sure. I'm ready.
