Canada's Worst Driver(2005–2018)

Episode 3

With one driver gone an seven left episode three starts off a little backwards or should I say reverse. Challenge number one of the show is reversing when confronted by a tractor on a one way street. This challenge gives the drivers a jump start on the second challenge of the day which is there knowledge and the mechanics of the 3 point turn. The last challenge is a fun one it’s called “Eye of the Needle”. The contestants have to drive at 60 km/h or above in a straight trying not to hit any boxes on either side of there car.

Episode 4

With three new challenges and only 5 drivers left the bad are leaving and the terrible are the only ones left. The first challenge makes the drivers drive a big yellow truck backwards through an obstacle course. The second challenge puts Canada’s worst drivers in the passenger seat in a blindfold navigation challenge, where the nominators are force to driver blindfold as the contestants tell them where to go. The last challenge was drive a standard car up a hill without stalling it.

Episode 5

In this episode of Canada’s worst drivers, the worst drivers have to try to turn the corner. Then, the drivers have experience parking lot chaos and the results are a clumsy ballet of bumps, blows and menacing moves. Is the panel of experts ready to let one of Canada's worst driver go?

Episode 6

In this episode, the worst drivers must manoeuvre a van, that’s packed full of breakables objects, through an obstacle course. Then, they are given directions to go from point A to point B, and to find their way through a city. Has anyone earned the right to graduate from the Driver’s Rehabilitation Centre in this episode?

Episode 7

Today, the remaining drivers have to get behind the wheel of a pickup truck and maneuver through an obstacle course.

Head to Head Combat

With such a poor showing at the first reverse challenge, the remaining 7 drivers attempt another reversing challenge. This time they will be going head to head around a tricky Reverse Figure 8. Next, our drivers attempt to decipher the meaning of road signs. You'll be amazed at some of the answers! Later, it's tight manoeuvring as they attempt to move a car laterally in our S-turn Challenge. Finally, our drivers put the pedal to the medal as they demonstrate their driving abilities - or lack there of - in the infamous Eye of the Needle Challenge. Our driving experts quickly realize that basic manoeuvring is not a strong point for Canada's Worst Drivers. One driver is sent home and the experts continue to scrutinize as the search continues for Canada's Worst Driver.

Tanked

In this episode, the six remaining drivers still stuck in Rehab find themselves preoccupied as they manoeuvre and multi-task their way through the Distraction Demonstration. Next, our abysmal drivers are going in circles as they attempt to execute Drifting Donuts. Finally, an old favourite is back and our drivers attempt to drive as smoothly as possible through the trusty Water Tank Challenge. It turns out the final six wind up very wet behind the ears when it comes to smooth driving. As our drivers towel off, our panel of experts make their decision. Another driver heads home and we continue the search for Canada's Worst Driver.

Close to Home

In this episode, the six remaining drivers begin with the basics...mastering the 4 steps of a perfect lane change. Sound simple but guess what? It isn't. Then as day becomes night, it's not over for our abysmal 6 as they are dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Their mission: to find their way back to their hotel in our Night Time Navigational Challenge. Finally, our drivers learn the fastest way to turn around as they try to master the perfect Hand Brake J-Turn. One driver avoids the title and returns to public roads. Our experts continue to watch closely to determine who will be Canada's Worst Driver.

Riding the Rails

The bad driving continues this episode as our remaining 5 drivers learn the fastest way to turn around and attempt a Reverse 180 Turn. Next, the drivers must know where their wheels are at all times as they try to ride the rails in a challenge called the Trough. Later, our drivers try their hand at a new found sport at the rehab centre. They go head to head in the first Shopping Cart Hockey shoot out at rehab. Finally with trailer in tow, our remaining drivers attempt to tow and reverse not one, but two trailers at the same time. At the end of this episode, one lucky driver graduates and our experts narrow the field to 4, in the search for Canada's Worst Driver.

Uphill Battle

The final four drivers tackle some of the toughest challenges they've seen in rehab to date. It all begins as the remaining drivers get behind the wheel of a powerful 4x4 and attempt to complete an Off Road Challenge. With last episode's result being so poor, we revisit the "know where your wheels are challenge". The twist - our final four must complete The Trough in reverse. Finally, our final four learn the skills needed for a high speed Swerve and Avoid. The results are disastrous. It's an explosive episode you don't want to miss. At the end of this episode, one lucky driver graduates avoiding the title and our experts narrow the field to the 3 finalists in the search for Canada's Worst Driver.

What Just Happened?

With Ian Brannan being named perhaps surprisingly the first graduate of the season - he being so named because he recognized the bad driving choices he was making - there are seven nominees left at the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre. The panel believes the distracted driving demonstration is more important now than ever with cell phone use causing driving accidents being on the rise. Four of the remaining nominees are addicted to their cell phone while driving, another who would use it if his passengers would allow it, and another whose distraction is eating and drinking while ...

Piece of Cake

With Santana Pike being named the second graduate, six nominees remain at the Centre. The nominees' first challenge is to test if they know how fast they are driving by covering their speedometer. They are required to drive at both 50kph and 70kph, the latter which also entails them hitting on their brakes at a given point to avoid hitting a wall, which they should be able to do if they are indeed driving at the requested speed. Their second challenge is the annual water tank challenge, which includes a straightaway acceleration and deceleration section, a forward precision ...

1 - 2 - 3 - Go!

There are five nominees left at the Centre with the graduation of George Firth. Before the next set of challenges, Andrew tries to impress on the five the importance of proper seating behind the wheel and the negative consequences of not doing so if/when an air bag is deployed. The first challenge for the five is to do a three point turn in a school bus in an enclosure. This task may be difficult for some who either do not grasp the concept or who do not even know what a three point turn is. The second and third challenges require Philippe to teach them the associated and related...

Know Your Limits

With the panel deciding not to graduate anyone at the last graduation ceremony based on the nominees' own wants, there are still five left at the Centre. As it is one of the most destructive and frightening activities for the nominees as a collective in their everyday driving, parking in a crowded parking lot is their first challenge. They must obey all standard rules, one nominee who is totally oblivious to legalities of property damage in parking lots. They must park into any available legal space in one go, in each case backing up, a penalty incurred if the parking...

Slip and Slide

With Mariah Carriere being named the latest graduate, there are four nominees left in the running to be named Canada's Worst Driver. Their first challenge is to do a straight reverse one kilometer in length, the longest reversing challenge ever on the show. There are several sections, the side barriers made of different materials and the lane being differing widths throughout the course. The nominees are told that it is a race, that they are to complete the course as fast as they can. Most do not however realize that success still entails not hitting anything. Tim holds himself ...
