Line 42:
* [[Clothing Damage]]: An interesting variation. In Season 6, Lance started out as dapper as could be. At the end, he looked like a slob, wearing a torn wifebeater and some face stubble.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]/[[The Ditz]]: Some of the contestants are ''shockingly'' clueless. These are arguably the scariest type of bad driver.
* [[The
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: While the show's point is making bad drivers better, "Let us graduate and we promise we'll never drive again" was a line often heard on the first season. Not so much later seasons, though.
** Father Giles in Shopping Cart Hockey--the intent is to teach control while moving fast. Father Giles barely got above 10 km/h. {{spoiler|he also was the only one to score a goal, aside from Andrew Younghusband himself.}}
Line 90:
** The Water Tank Challenge usually floods the interior of the car. Dean from Season Six, however, managed to flood the car's ''engine'' with a hard stop after the first straightaway. He didn't even get to the precision driving parts.
** In some challenges, obstacles are carved and painted styrofoam. On at least two occasions, they've run out of obstacles before the nominees can complete the challenges.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Father Giles and Guy--his brother and nominator--walked away from the Water Tank Challenge laughing after Father Giles stated he thought he did fairly well. {{spoiler|He did: although he got soaked, he didn't collide with anything.}}
* [[Everything's Better With Llamas]]: The first "drive to the rehabilitation centre" challenge ''ever'', had a checkpoint at an Alpaca farm.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Lauri from Season 7 ... when its not affecting her performance of course! (She was shown driving with a car filled with additional "passengers", mainly pets.)
Line 150:
** The death of Crystal's brother-in-law Tom Stagno--[[Irony|in a vehicle accident.]]
** For Wil from Season Five it was learning just how verbally abusive he was. Melissa, his nominee, later stated he cried for a quarter of an hour.
** Aaron, from Season 7, was nearly killed by a distracted driver six years prior to the taping. Every year one of the challenges is a distracted driving course, where the nominees must drive a simple course while distracted (from eating, drinking, smoking, texting, et cetera). The purpose is to show them just how dangerous distracted driving can be. In Season 7, the drivers (excluding Aaron) had to do this course, and after seeing just how bad distractions make them, they had to ''[[Wham! Episode|look Aaron in the eye]]'' and promise to never drive distracted again.
* [[Tears of Fear]]: Several drivers are absolutely ''terrified'' of driving, to the point where a few broke down and cried.
* [[Tears of Joy]]: Amy-Lee of Season 4, cried with happiness when she became the last graduate.
