Canada's Worst Driver: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

A Canadian [[Reality Show]] which focuses on rehabilitating the worst drivers in [[Canada, Eh?|The Moose And Maple]], as nominated by their friends and family members. The object of the show is essentially to learn enough about proper driving in order to "graduate" from rehab, done in the form of different challenges meant to build specific driving skills. The winner (or should we say loser) in the end is crowned the titular "worst driver", and often receives an equally crappy looking trophy.

* [[The Alleged Car]]: Mike from Season 5 bought these exclusively.

** Season 5: Crystal Hubley-Fararo left in the fifth episode after learning that her brother-in-law had been killed in a vehicular collision. A video retrospective of the rest of the rehab subjects revealed that they consistently failed to yield, the same behaviour that got Crystal's brother-in-law killed.

** Season 6: Scott Shurink was expelled in the second episode after revealing on-camera his numerous undocumented vehicular crimes: more than just excessive speeding (which ended his first test in the first episode), he drove while drunk, while suspended, and used his friend's license. Said friend immediately cancelled the vehicle insurance Scott needed to drive, while resident traffic law expert and retired OPP sergeant Cam Wooley contacted the Calgary police with this information.

* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: Andrew Younghusband and others ''insist'' the drivers really are this bad and are ''not'' actors.

** After Angelina destroys half the obstacles and almost melts the truck's engine on season 5's Eye of the Needle challenge:

* [[There Should Be a Law]]: Andrew Younghusband and Cam Woolley have stated that they think it's silly how ''much'' a standard driving license covers. Cam Woolley has stated he's amazed that someone can get their driving license in a Smart Car (which is very tiny) and immediately hop into a motorhome several times a Smart Car's length. Note [[Loophole Abuse]] above to see what else is legal to drive.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The utterly clueless behaviour of some of the drivers does indeed pose a risk to life and limb.

** Went the other way during the Season 7, Episode 6 opener, when Andrew mentioned the Dutch Equivalent; the host of that show got struck by the car a contestent was driving.

* [[Watch the Paint Job]]: [[That Poor Car|They never do...]] About the worst example would be the contestants burning out the clutches of five cars. The last contestant was exempted because the producers were out of cars.
