Driving Instructors - The Funny Side!
Comedians seem to find driving instructors, driving examiners and driving tests a good source of material for comedy sketches and funny routines!
Here's a selection of funny driving instructor and driving examiner videos including some comedy classics such as the Dick Emery Driving Test Sketch, Confessions of A Driving Instructor film, and the Little Britain Police Driving Instructor Sketch
Thankfully most driving instructors (or driving examiners) aren't like the ones parodied on these videos!
As well as funny learning to drive videos, I've included some useful information about British driving instructors, learning to drive in the UK and driving tests!

Dick Emery - the driving test full version
The much maligned dick emery - he was very much before his time. watch this and then try to deny that the makers of shows such as the fast show and little britain took their inspiration from Dick Emery. Namely, he inevented characters who would be in a different situation each week, but would always end up saying their comedy catchphrase. politically correct types dont seem to like his gay character these days but is that character any more unrealistic than his comedy vicar, or comedy randy old lady ?
