Goofs and Gaffes - Corn Dolly - No slowing down...

By Rich Cross   Last updated on 21 December 2020, 12:51:42

"Woah, not that slow...", says Greg - as Jenny maintains the same speed...


Greg is, as might be expected, a no-nonsense driving instructor, telling Jenny firmly to 'Slow down for the bend'
Jenny does not slow down (and therefore cannot be criticised for braking too hard)

Where are we?: Greg is, as might be expected, a no-nonsense driving instructor, telling Jenny firmly to "Slow down for the bend," before adding (when Jenny seemingly brakes too hard), "Woah, not that slow...".

What's the goof?: Although Abby, sat in the back seat, looks appropriately grumpy at Jenny's rudimentary newbie driving skills, the speed and direction of the car remain unchanged throughout this section of the driving lesson. Jenny does not slow down (and therefore cannot be criticised for braking too hard) and the car is not required to negotiate a bend of any kind.
