Beginning Fake Driving School

For many months at the end of 2016 and start of 2017 I was regularly driving to a city in England (that I won’t mention by name) to start a new brand we were creating called Fake Driving School. The concept was similar in terms of set-up to Fake Taxi, where some guy has set up cameras in his vehicle and records his exploits and adventures with various women on a day-to-day basis. Whereas Fake Taxi started with a quite serious tone, we wanted to dive right into Fake Driving School in a madcap comedy manner and really play on how funny these scenarios could be.

After the first few weeks of filming I realized that most of the scenes were naturally funnier than I had imagined, there were so many real, genuine moments during the learning-how-to-drive sections that we didn’t really have to stage anything, it was naturally so funny anyway. The chemistry between the models was also really great and it just made for these very entertaining scenes.

For the lead Driving Instructor we had chosen Ryan Ryder, not because of his driving skills, patience with learners or his ability to remain calm in stressful situations, in fact he had none of those attributes! In addition to this, Ryan is a slightly bumbling and highly-strung kind of guy, he’s also flipping hilarious and has great comedy timing, so we figured that sitting him in the passenger seat while an array of hot porn-models learned how to drive would lead to some very funny moments. And we were right.

When we launched the site it shot into the Top 10 Channels on Pornhub and on every single video, the comments were about how funny the scenes were. We were also told that it started trending on there and was one of the most searched for terms for a while, something that hadn’t happened with a new brand before.
