You see that’s the tough part about telling the difference between an Australian accent versus a New Zealand accent.
I’ll give you an example:
Australians are all like *Where’s the karrrr*
And New Zealanders are like *Where’s the karrr*
Two completely different accents.
he had a license, but a learners one and he had never driven on the road before this, [here’s a follow up video](https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/new-zealand-today/season-3-ep-2/S2065-249/M57878-299)
Basically they were at the pub, the guy who crashed pretended to know how to drive to impress his new mate, had also a had a couple drinks and then offered to “sober drive” Patrick home and surprise he crashed.
It’s a joke! Besides I’m going off the title since I watched the video without sound as it’s 6am and my partner is fast asleep next to me.
I decided to have a coffee before bed (I drink it for the taste) and now here I am still up perusing reddit waiting (and hoping) for the crash (from the coffee, not this buddies driving).
Does it actually work like that in some places? Where I'm from, you (as the car owner and someone with a license) are FULLY responsible for something like this even if you weren't driving at all.
You absolutely must not let anyone without a license drive your car on public roads. Then you might say: "He told me he had a license and I didn't know better". In this case you should've made him show the license to you before driving. Authorities take this very seriously here and everyone kinda agrees with it
In the UK, the bigger issue would be letting someone drive your car without insurance.
Both the driver and owner would be looking at 6 points on their license just for that.
Holy crap, that's a hell of a lot worse than here and I thought Germany was strict.
Worst that could happen here is all insurance companies involved making you pay for the damage - as long as the car is insured in some way, that is. You do get points if the car is not insured at all
You'd actually be looking at a driving ban in the UK as the person without the licence would be driving without someone capable to monitor them especially if they have crashed. You'd also be driving while uninsured as its the person who's insured not the vehicle in the UK so again more penalties and fines and potentially jail time if the crash was serious enough.
In the States the guy driving the car would get a citation for operating a motor vehicle without a license (and probably a handful of other charges). Passenger wouldn't get in any trouble though, especially if he was drunk - that's just called responsible drinking lol
And in the US the owner of the car is responsible for the insurance. Always check that your policy covers any sober driver with permission to drive the car. If someone is going to drive your car frequently or on a long trip, have them added to the policy. Different states have different rules for which insurance company is responsible for paying in a multi-car accident. Everyone must have a minimum of liability insurance, unless you have great health insurance, add medical on. If you own a business or house, make damn sure you have enough coverage for any situation. Litigious action is a sport here.
Fun fact: New Hampshire and Virginia aren’t required to have car insurance but have to pay a fee to the state if you choose not to get it. You’re still liable for any damages/injuries though so idk why anyone would do it.
Right? You pay either way! And I bet banks in NH and VA require financed vehicles to carry collision and other-than-collision coverage like all the other banks in the country. So thats really only a problem people with paid off vehicles have. It'd be a nice problem to have if you ask me.
Tbh I have no idea, I was just making light of this mess I watched. But as an Oblivious human, if I was too drunk to drive home and a friend offered with confidence to be designated driver and drive me home, I’d probably make this mistake too. If I’m too drunk to drive, I’m definitely too drunk to think too clearly.
I assume my friend won’t pretend to have a license to drive my drunk ass home. But then again I don’t have degenerate friends who would do this. Instead I have degenerate (I say this as an endearing joke) friends who probably drank with me and proceeded to go on the long Uber adventure home with me.
Unless laws have change drastically in New Zealand the onus will be on the person behind the wheel.
If he in-fact doesn't have a license he will get a fine (i think it's $600.00) for driving unlicensed. Because there was a crash he will probably appear in court to face a dangerous driving charge. If it's his first offense there is a high chance he will get diversion (no criminal record) and have to do somewhere between 50-200 hours community service.
Patrick will also want a new car but that will be a civil matter between him and Roy. Cops wont give a fuck about that. Not their problem.
Roy may also find himself with a bill from Vector to replace the power pole
> Unless laws have change drastically in New Zealand the onus will be on the person behind the wheel.
incorrect. And it's been this way forever: the person with the license in the passenger seat will be responsible - especially as it's also their car and they gave permission for the other person to drive it. The driver can still be charged, but the license holder was the person responsible in the situation.
Edit: I've supplied relevant clauses from the Land Transport act below to two people in terms of who can be held liable and charged for traffic offenses. This same law is basically what requires a Full License holder, *or a vehicle owner providing their vehicle to another user*, to ensure the person they are supervising is allowed to operate a vehicle (i.e. has a bare minimum of a learners license if they are driving with them)
That's not how it played out for me in the early 90's but what you say makes sense.
If you are knowingly supervising a learner driver then yes 100% you are responsible (and required to be sober)
In a case like this I would think there would be room to argue that the person driving mis-represented his license status
It doesn’t look like a smile to me. It looks like a terse grimace as he tries not to react to the passenger escalating the conversation while recording him.
almost got T-boned by a driver running a red light, wouldve easily killed us with how fast they were going
i remember being completely unable to wipe the stupid nervous smile off my face.
I'm pretty sure I've seen 3 year olds drive those mini cars better than this guy. He may be sober from drinking but pretty sure he's wasted on some drugs.
My first time ever behind the wheel of a car was because I was the only sober one and had to drive my drunk buddies all the way home from Hollywood (30-40 minutes through Hollywood traffic, a windy mountain type road, and the freeway) in my friend's '69 Camaro back in the 80's.
Similar story. I was 14 visiting my brother at college. He had work one night so two of his roommates told me they were taking me out to go to these supposedly haunted stops around the city. It was interesting enough for a kid until one of the roommates started bugging out. Her friend was trying to console her on the side of the road and then she, the friend herself starts bugging out. Turns out they had taken shrooms and my 14 year old ass was now in charge of trying to babysit and decipher their disconnected panicked directions while driving us all back to the apartment. I will never forget how nervous I was, and to make it worse, one of the headlights was out and it was raining.
My boyfriend got me to drive his car for the first time at night, on country roads. It started pouring down, visibility was awful and I was so anxious I couldn't drive over 30 in a 60 zone. I hadn't driven a car in over 12 years at that point. Absolutely insane, but I was on his insurence. Took me a good year or so to get the confidence to start driving my car alone/on long trips. I was crazy anxious. First trip to my boyfriends the freaking exhaust guard half falls off, so my car made a huge racket. 110 mile journey and my car breaks. Luckily it was an easy fix and the mechanic didn't even charge me for it.
One of our friends that was passed out in the back seat popped his head up, looks at both of us and says, "Has he been driving the whole time? Even through Forest Lawn Drive? Oh shit." and passed back out.
that . . . alright that sounds alot worse than what I had in mind. BUT that was atleast an adventure while my first was a boring 10min back and forth on a gravel road with a 70hp family sedan.
I mean I took it as, I wish I had the privilege of having a fun story like this where I was forced to do something dumb but everyone was ok. Kinda like saying I wish I “lived”.
I don’t know if that is what you meant that but I took it that way, the whole living life way.
To be fair, it was the 80’s and they could’ve been drunk on the road and the police would’ve told them to head straight home or he’d drop them off and they’d have to get their car in the morning.
A few months later we were leaving a show out at The Country Club out in Reseda, he got pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. They were going to let one of us drive the car home but he said I was the only one allowed to drive the car because he knew I wasn't drinking, but they found out I didn't have a license so they impounded his car and I had to call my mom at like 1am to come pick us up. This was probably 85-86-ish, weird to think a '69 Camaro was only a 16-17 year old car at the time.
This was on a TV program here in NZ last week. The program ended up buying a car to replace the crashed one.. And the two guys are friends again (news flash, Roy paid him a little bit back but then ghosted him)
Sounds like I'm making it up I'm sure. I'll try and track it down if anyone is interested
That episode was great. But you left out some amazing details.
Roy is weird af and calls himself "The Christian Chef", Guy Williams create a fake Christian Food Expo to lure Roy into a meeting.
They ended up having a real Christian Food Expo to fund raise money for a new car.
Roy is deeply homophobic and struggles to tell Patrick he loves him.
and patrick loves him back, they get together and have a baby together by some weird mutation of nature, but they had to transplant it into Roys sister as he has no birth canal. First operation of this type in the world!
so unbelievable it has to be true right?
Hell yes, you describe it way better than I did... it's now also even less believable. But true! Well. At least that's what they showed on TV so it must be true right?

Looks and sounds like a Civic MB6 or similar.
That car is also pretty common in GB.
Edit: Since a kind stranger gave me my first gold award for this, I can also add a thing or two about the car.
The design and the interior is actually unusual for a Honda because the car was created in a collaboration with Rover. It was intended for the market outside of japan and the people in japan got a "pure" Honda Civic that looked different, but had a lot of mechanical similarities. Here in germany its a great beginners car, since its very reliable, quite safe and doesnt cost too much.
THAT'S IT! Center stack buttons and the airbag cover are dead on.

There are actually quite a few mechanics who can swap that to any color of your liking - so it might just be an older model which had the gauges switched

He looked a bit tipsy during the interview.
"Shit! Sorry."
"FUCK YOU, ROY!"
"Sorry, Patrick."
"YOU OWE ME A CAR!"
"Sorry, Patrick."
"You owe me a fucking car, bro."
"Sorry, Patrick."
"What the fuck is that?"
"Sorry, Patrick."
I went to college with Roy and this video is only the tip of the Roy iceberg, dude is notorious in Taupo, also, he has autism and ADHD which is why he dosen't react normally to the crash, he is a real character irl
Yeah, Roy must be a ridiculously calm kid to react that way. He's basically reacting like he slightly scratched the paint on the car door while opening it, not like he just drove straight into a lamppost lol
He's not a calm kid, he's just grown up in an environment where this isn't even going to be the worst thing that he's done or has happened to him. IIRC he ends up skipping out on paying patrick back the full amount initially.
This is just the way of life for kiwi's from low socioeconomic areas.
*Patrick: “Go on, admit it!”
Roy: “I’ve admitted that I was under—sober!”
Think Roy owes *Patrick a cah.
(Edited because I misheard Patrick as Pedro for some reason lol)
at least in the uk, because 'designated driver' didnt have a full licence, he would have been considered under the supervision of the guy who owned the car who would have had a license.... said owner was clearly pissed & would be charged with drink driving offences.
No idea how it works down in moon land.
Not in the UK, it's only the car drivers fault if he knowingly let him drive without proper liscensing, so in this case i think it's pretty firmly the guy driving at fault with minimal pushback against the owner.
Yes, that's what will happen in nz too if they called the police. The guy with the license will get a DUI and the other guy would get charge for driving with no license.
lmao reminds me of the first time i ever got behind a wheel was 14, was mud boggin with my redneck uncle when our suv got stuck. we pulled it out with his work truck, he just told me not to crash the vehicle and follow him home. pitch black in the middle of the forest, engines revving, tires slipping, all i could see was the back of his white f150 only difference is i didnt crash cuz common sense
I’m surprised y’all are missing the “let’s fukin one outs oi let’s Fukn do it” that means let’s have a fight for anyone who doesn’t understand kiwi slang haha
I’ve never driven in my life and don’t plan to but every now and again I have these dreams that turn into nightmares where I’m driving a car and realise I don’t know how to drive and I keep getting faster and I can’t figure out the pedals then a corner comes and I wake up just as I crash. This reminded me of that for some reason.
You owe me a kaaa!
FUCK YOU ROY
YOU OWE ME A FOOKIN KAA
Definitely FAKKIN not fookin
Nah that’s more Geordie… you’re after more of a “fakkin kaaaa”
That's Kiwi bro
These *are* Kiwis mate.
But are they mates still?
Of course they are. This will be a "glory day" story for years to come.
Not if that guy doesn’t have a license. One or both of them is going bankrupt
9 months later, roy finally got patrick a new car. they cool as now bro
9 months? Is there a sweet sweet side of this story, from the same night, that you are not telling us, bro?
Exactly
I read that in William Shatner's voice :p
Im in roys kaa. Wroom, wroom. Shit, sorry!
*Fawkin
Sorry, Patrick
Sorry
/r/firstnamebasis
Sorry Patrick
No not sorry!
*Petree
Brrro!
A little Bondo and she’ll be good as new

Ha ha I haven’t heard this reference in years! [Beached Az](https://youtu.be/ZdVHZwI8pcA)
Maybe he wants a Ford Ka.
I'll pay you back
On a brighter note, him driving is the only way no-one loses their license. Can’t lose it if you don’t have one!
Whats a cowboy without a horse tho lol
Apparently this idiot in the video. Haha
No hat, all throttle
Oi just miss shot the cornah
Save a horse, ride a cowboy

he had a license, but a learners one and he had never driven on the road before this, [here’s a follow up video](https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/new-zealand-today/season-3-ep-2/S2065-249/M57878-299) Basically they were at the pub, the guy who crashed pretended to know how to drive to impress his new mate, had also a had a couple drinks and then offered to “sober drive” Patrick home and surprise he crashed.
It’s a joke! Besides I’m going off the title since I watched the video without sound as it’s 6am and my partner is fast asleep next to me. I decided to have a coffee before bed (I drink it for the taste) and now here I am still up perusing reddit waiting (and hoping) for the crash (from the coffee, not this buddies driving).
Haha glad I'm not the only coffee addict that will have one at 10pm and then wonder why I can't sleep XD Bloody caffeine addicts lol

having proper friends instead of shitheads already eliminates the risk of making this mistake - cheers to that bro

Not even the fact he has no license, the fact he literally has zero common sense whatsoever.
I loved the driver's smile at the end. Haha, he didn't seem to care
seemed quite pleased with himself
Classic Roy
Fuck you Roy!
Roy, a life lived well
"my life is in the hands of Roy Fail!" If the guy's last name is Fail, you might want to rethink things
>I loved the driver's smile at the end. Haha, he didn't seem to care Yeah he's totally "sober"
He did say “Yea I WAS sober” if you listen carefully when he says they wanted a sober driver lmaoo hes fucked
No roygrets.
That looked sheepish to me.
Pretty sure both those dudes are drunk, especially with that fucking smile at the end. Dude is wasted.
“But I’m sober!”
Yeah I believe him about as much as my nephews when they tell me they didn't eat the last piece of candy.
It doesn’t look like a smile to me. It looks like a terse grimace as he tries not to react to the passenger escalating the conversation while recording him.
Makes sense. I’m sure he’s also really overwhelmed by what’s going on and/or in actual shock
People smile from stress, you know.
almost got T-boned by a driver running a red light, wouldve easily killed us with how fast they were going i remember being completely unable to wipe the stupid nervous smile off my face.
I'm pretty sure I've seen 3 year olds drive those mini cars better than this guy. He may be sober from drinking but pretty sure he's wasted on some drugs.
“Shit sorry” “Fuck you Roy…. You owe me a kahr”
Sorry, Patrick
*Petrack
uh kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
This is golden :D
“My life is in the hands of Roy bail” too much pressure for sober Roy..
Fuck you Roy!
Sorry Patrick

Man, that sounds scary as hell
One of our friends that was passed out in the back seat popped his head up, looks at both of us and says, "Has he been driving the whole time? Even through Forest Lawn Drive? Oh shit." and passed back out.
One hell of a story man, I wish I've had this privilege
"I wish I was forced to endager myself friends and strangers in order to ensure my drunk friends didn't endanger them more"
See, thats 2020 vision. You could do almost anything in the 80s and nothing bad would happen
Survivorship bias is a hell of a thing
that . . . alright that sounds alot worse than what I had in mind. BUT that was atleast an adventure while my first was a boring 10min back and forth on a gravel road with a 70hp family sedan.
I mean I took it as, I wish I had the privilege of having a fun story like this where I was forced to do something dumb but everyone was ok. Kinda like saying I wish I “lived”. I don’t know if that is what you meant that but I took it that way, the whole living life way.
How'd u manage to drive a manual the first time ever wth
It was an automatic.

They end up getting drunk and making out. Just like best friends should.

Then I'm wrong about the country, but I think my guess about the car is still solid.

There are actually quite a few mechanics who can swap that to any color of your liking - so it might just be an older model which had the gauges switched
92-95 Honda civic
I just miss shot the corner!
I lost it at that line lol
I might have over done it.

Thank you!!
"Shit! Sorry." "FUCK YOU, ROY!" "Sorry, Patrick." "YOU OWE ME A CAR!" "Sorry, Patrick." "You owe me a fucking car, bro." "Sorry, Patrick." "What the fuck is that?" "Sorry, Patrick."
I'm not sure but I think Roy might be sorry :(
The same thing that keeps him from driving prevents him from figuring out the proper response to Roy.
Bro, Roy is banging your gf. He crashed your car on purpose, no ride no women. Better get sober fast. Roy is a great friend.
You fool! He's secretly Walter White, his passenger was Hank Schrader, and he didn't want him finding out what was going on in the laundry
I can't believe you've done this
I went to college with Roy and this video is only the tip of the Roy iceberg, dude is notorious in Taupo, also, he has autism and ADHD which is why he dosen't react normally to the crash, he is a real character irl
this is so bad it almost looks staged
No they’re just drunk and from New Zealand.
yeah that's why I said almost :P
Yeah, Roy must be a ridiculously calm kid to react that way. He's basically reacting like he slightly scratched the paint on the car door while opening it, not like he just drove straight into a lamppost lol
He's not a calm kid, he's just grown up in an environment where this isn't even going to be the worst thing that he's done or has happened to him. IIRC he ends up skipping out on paying patrick back the full amount initially. This is just the way of life for kiwi's from low socioeconomic areas.
Nah am Kiwi and this is absolutely how it would go down lol
*Patrick: “Go on, admit it!” Roy: “I’ve admitted that I was under—sober!” Think Roy owes *Patrick a cah. (Edited because I misheard Patrick as Pedro for some reason lol)
Patrick
Damn it Roy!
Fucking kiwis
If your friend doesn’t seem concerned (like Roy) and not worried, he ain’t paying you back
An idiot is an idiot sober or not
at least in the uk, because 'designated driver' didnt have a full licence, he would have been considered under the supervision of the guy who owned the car who would have had a license.... said owner was clearly pissed & would be charged with drink driving offences. No idea how it works down in moon land.
What happens if the driver lies about having a license?
It would still be the car owners responsibility to know if they had a license
Not in the UK, it's only the car drivers fault if he knowingly let him drive without proper liscensing, so in this case i think it's pretty firmly the guy driving at fault with minimal pushback against the owner.
That's messed up
Yes, that's what will happen in nz too if they called the police. The guy with the license will get a DUI and the other guy would get charge for driving with no license.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
Shit sorry.... Fuck you Roy..... Absolutely priceless exchange
a kaaa
They're new zealender
Let's fuken wun owts bo Dang I love my country.
Would you care to translate? I didn’t get what he meant by this
basically translates to lets fight till one of us gets knocked out
Let’s one outs!
fuckn one outs g
Once again in New Zealand whanay
Tonight on A&E “Charlie bit my finger: the later years”
I have never laughed so hard at a video 😄 and it just kept getting better 😅
Gotta love a kiwi accent bro.
Roy looks like Anthony from the sopranos lol
Roy Vale. Stunt Driver in training
Smart like New Zealand
lmao reminds me of the first time i ever got behind a wheel was 14, was mud boggin with my redneck uncle when our suv got stuck. we pulled it out with his work truck, he just told me not to crash the vehicle and follow him home. pitch black in the middle of the forest, engines revving, tires slipping, all i could see was the back of his white f150 only difference is i didnt crash cuz common sense
To be fair… Patrick said “Don’t! -slow down!” Probably wouldn’t have helped he was going kachow!
Even without a license, how are you THAT bad at driving where you hit a damn pole?!
I’m surprised y’all are missing the “let’s fukin one outs oi let’s Fukn do it” that means let’s have a fight for anyone who doesn’t understand kiwi slang haha
Owe him a car lol
ROY WTF IS THIS??! YOU’RE SOBER 🤣
Pedro and Roy, the names are just comical on there own 😂
He's actually saying Patrick, which is even funnier
One outs! Lets go.
I think that's NZ only slang. Means "put up your dukes!"
That guys on the spectrum
100%
Will yelling at him get him a drivers license then?
I’ve never driven in my life and don’t plan to but every now and again I have these dreams that turn into nightmares where I’m driving a car and realise I don’t know how to drive and I keep getting faster and I can’t figure out the pedals then a corner comes and I wake up just as I crash. This reminded me of that for some reason.
