- More than 35 centimetres of rain swamps Jakarta; Canada's too CEOs earn record-high wages; encounter with Sussexes.
- Eight Canadians are introduced as Canada's eight worst drivers, one who will ultimately be named Canada's Worst Driver. They are placed under a series of driving challenges under winter road conditions. The eight participants and their primary driving problems are: David Chau, who takes no responsibility by blaming his bad driving on the bad advice from his passengers; Bob Coad, an aggressive driver who has to "win" at any cost, such as when playing bumper tag on the highway; Chris Ferguson, who can only do one thing at a time behind the wheel; Madalena Phillips, who takes what she considers the easy way out in whatever she does to the point of carelessness; Heather Reynolds, who is confused on the road; Tatiana Rheaume, who is terrified of traffic and is even more terrified of left turns; Faith-Ann Stone, a speed demon who feels her bad driving is genetic; and Manuel Tejeda, who gets caught up in details and misses the big picture. Given a set of directions, their first test with their nominator as their passenger is to drive individually to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre at a decommissioned military base in Picton, Ontario, they needing to check in at various points along their circuitous route. Two of the participants have an extremely dangerous road race with each other en route. Once at the Centre, their second test is to brake at high speed to avoid hitting a wall in front of them. The challenge is as much to test braking reaction as it is to see who has a mind of their own while on the road. Following, all eight participants face the expert panel for the first time. All eight are given a failing grade.
- Unlike previous seasons, season 3 will have an extreme driving component in the hopes that it will make the drivers more confident in most day to day situations. The eight participants and their primary driving problems are: Shelby D'Souza, an extremely slow driver; Thomas Hobbs, an aspiring street racer; Denice Koke, a nervous and scared driver; Jennifer Kritzer, who has the worst record of any contestant thus far when it comes to hitting things and people while driving; Billie-Jean Leslie, a careless driver who in turn doesn't care she's careless; Marnie Maddison, a scared driver who doesn't like left turns; Ed Porter, an internal road rager, an issue which caused the break-up of his latest relationship; and Jason Zhang, who has a narrow focus of where he looks when he drives. Concerning passengers, Jason has the worst issue with his nominator husband, Adrian Fehr, who will continually grab the steering wheel when Jason drives. Given a set of directions, their first test to drive 60km to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre, which should take each a couple of hours. On the drive, each displays the reason why they are at driver's rehab. Their second test is a drive around Barrie Speedway's course in reverse in front of a capacity audience, as they are the half time show for the speedway's regular race. This test is to gauge their driving skills under pressure. The third and last test is a slow speed precision course, which will require a number of different driving skills to complete successfully. Based on self-professions, the experts have their harshest comments for Jennifer.
- Unlike season 1 where the driving challenges were conducted on winter road conditions, season 2 takes place in the summer when drivers can be overconfident. The eight participants and their primary driving problems are: Karen Carson, a scared driver who is not emotionally supported in her driving by her traffic cop nominator husband Alan; Matt Elkind, a distracted multi-tasker behind the wheel; Henrietta Gallant, a nervous driver who feels physically ill when she gets nervous while driving; Sean McConnell, a video game car racing champion who treats the road like a video game without understanding the consequences of real on-road speeding; Colin Sheppard, a street racer, who uses the fact of being a Police Foundations student to get out of traffic tickets; Jodi Slobodesky, an indecisive and unconfident driver, who relies on her nominator husband Sam for every decision; Michael Telford, an overly analytical slowpoke of a driver; and Shannon Willemsen, who enjoys the rush of hitting things with her car. Given a set of directions, their first test with their nominator as their passenger is to drive individually 40km to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre at CFB Borden, which should take an hour. By the time the eight get to the Centre, their traffic violations collectively would have totaled $10,000 in tickets. Their second test is to drive a precision course, which includes extra height and length to the vehicle with a canoe longer than the car and bicycle strapped to the roof. Although one of the participants has an emotional meltdown on the course, the experts have their harshest words for the one who acted like an idiot in their mind.
- The participants' first test is one of driving smoothly while facing some expected and unexpected obstacles. If someone drives jerkily, he/she has the possibility of getting him/herself and their nominator passenger really wet. A lot of people end up getting wet. The participants' second challenge is to parallel park after they are giving a lesson in mastering the task. The extra challenges however are that the road is icy, the road is downhill meaning that they have to back up uphill, and there will be two spots from which to choose, one which is slightly too small, the other which is just large enough. The participants' third challenge is one of night-time driving, which has its obvious hazards. After these three challenges, Bob specifically is taken aside to discuss his major bad driving issue. In facing the panel of experts, some of the participants are chastised for not taking the challenges seriously. But the panel decide to graduate the person who has shown the biggest attitude change and thus personal growth in their driving.
- Intimidating the participants, season 4's Driver's Rehabilitation Centre is located in an abandoned maximum security prison in Guelph, Ontario. The eight participants and their primary driving problems are: Teagan Cramer, an inexperienced driver who over steers and who has a habit of hitting and running; Donna Hicks, who gets an adrenaline rush by disobeying traffic signs, and who also drinks and drives; Curt Higham, who is distracted by other things happening besides traffic and other things on the road, which has resulted in him rear ending many vehicles; Lindsay Kloss, who prefers to do other things behind the wheel than pay attention to traffic; Ashley van Ham, an emotional driver who has an antagonistic relationship with her nominator husband Bryan van Ham when they're driving together; Emily Wang, who is oblivious to other cars around her; Ken Westwood, who has no respect for other cars on the road and who hates to back up; and Amy Wisniewski, whose nerves behind the wheel get her to the point of tears. Given a set of directions, their first test is to drive 45km to the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre, which should take each under an hour. Upon arrival, four of the participants are read the riot act by Sgt. Cam Woolley for breaking the Criminal Code of Canada either on their drive or in their day to day driving. Their penance hits home with each. Their second test is to drive a precision course. The added pressure they face is that they are driving an expensive new Porsche.
- With Bob Coad being named the first graduate due to his change in driving attitude, seven participants remain at the Centre. The remaining participants' first challenge is called the farmyard challenge, where the participants - all urbanites - are faced with a driving course through a farm situation, including avoiding a herd of sheep. Some participants show marked improvement, but one, in facing what she considers her major driving demon, forgets the environment in which she is driving. But this course has been an unmitigated disaster for most. The second challenge is a test in making a three point turn. Although they are given a lesson in doing the turn, the participants have the added challenge of doing it on a platform. Most manage to complete the challenge without falling off the platform, but the question is how many actually did it in three turns. Before the third challenge, head driving instructor Scott Marshall gives the participants a driving quiz, seeing how much they know about driving rules. Not many know basic road rules. The third challenge is called the eye of the needle, a high speed challenge to drive through a narrow course three times, each time at a higher speed. For many, this challenge magnifies their driving problems. After deliberation, the expert panel, faced with a short list of two, decide to graduate the person who has overcome the biggest issue which made him/her a bad driver.
- With Tatiana Rheaume being the second graduate, six drivers remain. Of the nominators, Alex, Manuel's friend, wants most to go home, the added pressure which may not help Manuel in achieving the goal. But Ernie, Heather's husband and an ex-big rig driver himself, is the most frustrated, it sometimes to the point of him not being able to sit in the car with her. This in turn frustrates Heather further. The participants' first challenge is one of reversing through an obstacle course in a pick-up truck, with the added pressure of Andrew being an annoying driver in another vehicle. Reversing ends up being a major issue for many of the participants. One gets upset at Andrew for his behavior on this challenge. The second challenge is for the participants, as the passenger, to guide their blindfolded nominator, now the driver, through a course. This challenge is designed to provide the participants with the correct thought process required for driving. The participants that usually rely on their passengers for advice fair the worst. The third challenge is one of clutch control driving up a hill - the drivers are not supposed to brake to a full stop. They are asked to do this test twice, first with Scott as the passenger providing instruction, the second as the car is sandwiched between two slow moving vehicles. Only two of the participants have ever driven a manual transmission car prior to this challenge. This fact may make no difference on who performs the best. And one participant is on the verge of quitting this challenge. As an added fourth challenge, the participants and their nominators are asked to change a flat tire. All make one fundamental mistake. When it comes to graduation time, the panel of experts decide in favor of the participant who demonstrated the biggest shift in attitude.
- With Faith-Ann Stone being the third graduate, there are five participants left for the title of Canada's Worst Driver. As time has progressed, some of the participants' core problems have gotten worse, while others have surfaced. Manuel is continually berating himself for feeling stupid by not understanding what he's doing wrong. David is still continually listening to his friend George, who is continually giving him bad advice. Madalena is feeling more entitled to graduate despite not changing her behavior. Heather is still relying on the advice of her husband Ernie. But Chris is feeling more confident and analytical. The participants' first challenge is to drive through a narrow course with a trailer attached to their car. This course includes a section in backing up the car and trailer. Each is given a lesson in this task first by Scott. On the actual challenge, many require Scott's assistance in completing the course. The second challenge is one in parking lot courtesy. There are only two spots for five cars, with two other spots ultimately opening up, leaving one car without a spot. The added problem for some is that they have a larger car to maneuver. The experts have the harshest words for those who exhibit immoral behavior. The third challenge is a high speed one on an icy course with many turns. Scott once again provides a lesson to each before the challenge. Regardless of how she does on this test, Madalena is determined to at least look good. Before the graduation, each participant is given a physical examination by a kinesiologist to see if he/she has any physical issue that is impeding their driving. Heather is given some news that is easily fixable. At graduation, Manuel looks certain to be the one to leave, but will a grievous error on the last challenge blow his chances of graduating?
- Because the panel of experts felt that no one deserved to graduate following the last set of challenges - Manuel would have if he didn't "kill" the cardboard people and the cardboard moose in the last challenge - there are still five participants remaining vying for the unwanted title of Canada's Worst Driver. Their first challenge is to drive a seven meter cube truck through a course, including backing it up. The back of the truck is filled with breakable items. The participants have the added pressure of having a time limit to complete the course. In driving the course first, Andrew shows that he is not infallible as a driver. But he and the experts hope the participants will use all their necessary resources, including their mirrors and their nominators, who can assist either inside or outside the truck as need be. This challenge proves to be intimidating, leading to self-realized disaster. The second challenge has Andrew first apologizing to the residents of Picton. The participants, for the first time since arriving at the Centre, are to drive a ten turn course through the Town of Picton, having been given verbal directions. The drive should take eight minutes. This challenge is as much to test ability in a real life situation as it is in logic: will any of the participants actually write the directions down? The third challenge is mimicking the situation of driving in winter conditions with snow on the road. This challenge again tests logic in how participants deal with having their car under a pile of snow, what to do when a snowbank impedes the road, and what to do when the car battery is dead. Although the game is specifically for David's benefit to teach confidence in the thought process, all the participants are given time to play with remote control toy cars, trying to maneuver the car around a marked track. In the deliberation, the panel of experts decide to graduate the person who has shown the greatest increase in confidence as well as in logical thinking.
- With David Chau graduating after the last panel deliberation, there are only four participants left at the Driver Rehabilitation Centre. Of those four, Manuel is getting increasingly frustrated which is causing some problems between himself and his nominator friend, Alex. Their first challenge is one in learning how to swerve and brake properly, and when to do so to avoid hitting an obstacle. The on-coming obstacles are too much for some to remember what to do. Their second challenge is a night time scavenger hunt, the participant now as navigator for their nominator driver, who is not allowed to assist in the navigation duties. The drive will take them through Prince Edward County and should take 23 minutes. Some take far longer than the predicted time, but Madalena decides to do the challenge in another shorter way. The final challenge pairs two participants together, Heather with Madalena and Chris with Manuel. With their new partner as passenger, each will drive a narrow course in a pick-up truck, first with nothing in the bed, and second with the bed filled both obstructing the rear view and the extra weight making the truck more unresponsive in its steering. The challenge crew give Manuel an extra test. The panel of expert do decide to graduate one of the participants - although not an obvious choice for them - the decision with which the remaining three vehemently disagree.
- With Manuel Tejeda graduating after the previous set of challenges, three participants remain in the running to be named Canada's Worst Driver: Chris Ferguson, Madalena Phillips and Heather Reynolds. This title is one that none of the three wants or believes they deserve. They have two final exams. The first, taking place at the Centre, is another obstacle course in which they will require all the skills they should have learned during their stay at the Centre. Each performs poorly, but some exhibit that certain skills are improving. Their final test is driving a predetermined route through the streets of Montréal, a city notorious for aggressive drivers who have no mercy for other drivers in their path. To protect the participants in this situation, the car they are driving is plastered with advertisements for the television show. Andrew will be the passenger for each. Scott first takes each out for a driving lesson in Old Montréal, where most of the course is through. He highlights the importance of courtesy to pedestrians. During the actual test, one of the participants shows a continued lack of respect, while another has a meltdown after one judgment error. In the final deliberation, the panel of experts are using a different criterion: they will make their decision based on the absolute worst driver as opposed to the one that has improved the least. At the end of the day, one of the three does graduate, but the final two both are given a failing grade and do not graduate. Still, one is named Canada's Worst Driver.
- A task the nemesis of many a bad driver, Scott gives each of the participants a refresher lesson on parallel parking, which many of the participants ace. They don't yet know that their first challenge will be to parallel park a motor home uphill, which they will first have to back up about 100 meters. Despite knowing how to parallel park after their lesson with Scott, the participants panic about the size of the vehicle. The second challenge is "threading the eye of the needle", a high speed predominantly straight but narrow course. On this challenge, Sean and Colin want to prove that driving fast is safer and cooler than driving slower. The third challenge is a narrow figure eight course which they must maneuver backward with another driver on the course at the same time; they will eventually have to pass the other driver on one section that is only wide enough to barely allow the two cars to pass. Above her own driving issues, Jodi has to overcome the constant and often bad advice of her husband Sam. Beyond these three challenges, Matt is given another challenge of his own to show him how being distracted is the cause of most of his driving accidents. And each participant is given a physical test to see if there are any issues which may hinder their driving ability. Henrietta has many issues to overcome. After the deliberation, the panel of experts decide to graduate the person who has more of a mental shift to overcome than bad driving per se. The graduate is only allowed to leave on the promise that this mental shift will indeed occur once home.
- With Matt Elkind being the first to graduate, there are seven remaining participants at the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre. Before they begin their next set of challenges, Shannon makes a confession on why she decided to participate on the show, which may affect what she will be allowed to do challenge-wise in the future. The first challenge they were going to be given was one of navigating through a small town situation. However, since most of the participants showed a lack of knowledge of basic road signs, the first challenge was changed to one at the Centre for public safety reasons. That challenge is one of driving forward and backward in a straight line on a raised platform and ramp. If they veer off course, the car will fall off the platform or ramp. The second challenge is a high speed straight line skid to avoid hitting an obstacle. This challenge is particularly important for Karen, who is so used to listening to her husband's instructions while driving. The third challenge is one of packing a station wagon truck so as not to create a blind spot if possible. The participants must then back the fully packed car out of a camping spot, with many physical obstacles along the way. To see if it makes a difference, each participant is given another nominator, and not their own, as their passenger. The fourth challenge is one of gas station etiquette, where all seven participants are required to approach a gas station at the same time, the station which only has six pumps and a multitude of other potential gas purchasers. Some of the participants see the challenge as who can get gas the fastest as opposed to its true mission of demonstrating driver courtesy. Some participants are given an extra challenge - one that was devised specifically for first graduate Matt - which is designed to show the hazards of driving while multitasking. After deliberating, the panel of experts graduate the person whose driving relationship with that person's nominator has improved from one of the nominator barking orders to a state of cooperation.
- With Karen Carson being named the second graduate (much to the surprise of most of the others), there are six participants remaining at the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre. The first of the latest series of challenges is the water test: they are required to drive an obstacle course smoothly, otherwise water from the 500 liter tank mounted above the car will drain on top of the car's occupants. Most get drenched with at least 200 liters of water. The second challenge is a navigational course through the massive Centre (which is really a military base), which if navigated properly should take 20 minutes to complete. They have a time limit of 40 minutes. Some do not finish. The third challenge is a three stage skid and swerve test, first in mud, then in dry gravel, then in a "mystery material" covered asphalt surface around a blind corner, which is hiding a walled barrier. Because of the results of the last challenge which is a culmination of all results, one participant is leaving the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre, but not as a graduate.
- With Colin Sheppard's expulsion from the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre (he being the first person ever on any of the "Worst Driver" series to befall that fate) because of his unwillingness to learn, there are five participants remaining. Their first challenge in this series of three is called the dirty circle, where the participants must maneuver the car in a 360 degree turn on a mud surfaced "island" surrounded by a moat, so that they can drive on and off the one and only entrance/exit without falling into the moat. Most end up doing the challenge with another participant as their passenger, which helps some and annoys others. The second challenge is a nighttime scavenger hunt with the participants as the navigators, and their nominators as the drivers. They are each given one more test in this challenge in that each car has a flat tire which must be changed before they start. This challenge should take just over an hour to complete, but the first car arrives three hours after the start and one car does not make it at all. The slow times are despite one car receiving a speeding ticket along the way. The third challenge is driving a right side manual drive jeep through a course. Only one of the five has extensive experience driving a manual drive car, let alone a right side drive one. One of the participants has a meltdown on the course. During the panel deliberation, Sean should be named the graduate if only he would admit that driving slower is better than speeding. Sean knows this to be the case. Will he admit to the error of his thinking in order to graduate?
- The panel of experts decided at the last deliberation not to graduate anyone after the previous set of challenges, meaning that there are five participants still remaining at the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre. The first in the next series of challenges is an off road course mimicking desert driving, including steep uphills and downhills. Because of the potential for injury on this treacherous course, an army sergeant specializing in off road driving will be the passenger in the 4-wheel drive vehicle used for this challenge. Because of her pregnancy, Shannon is given extra words of precaution. The next challenge has each nominator as a blindfolded driver, the participant as the passenger giving directions. The course has several obstacles and turns, plus what is considered the most intimidating section: a straight line in which the car must reach 40 kilometers per hour. There is a 40 minute time limit to complete the course. This challenge is to demonstrate each participant's driving thought process. Before the third challenge, the five participants are each given a different lesson or task based on their own situation. Henrietta, Jodi and Michael are each taught to burn rubber and to do controlled donuts. Sean is given an opportunity to race go-carts with panel expert Juliana Chiovitti in the hope that he will learn that fun driving has its place, such as on a go-cart track or on-line, but not on public streets. And Shannon is given the task of installing an infant car seat. The third and final challenge mimics a highway driving situation where the participants, driving at least 70 kilometers per hour, must avoid hitting boxes falling off a truck immediately ahead of them. This challenge provides a break though in attitude for two of the participants for different reasons. After these sets of challenges, each of the five remaining participants believe they will be named the next graduate, those not graduating going to the final on street road test. At the deliberation, the panel reach an unusual decision.
- With both Jodi Slobodesky and Sean McConnell graduating after the last deliberation (Sean's graduation albeit on the caveat that he promised no longer to speed excessively), three participants remain for the running of Canada's Worst Driver: Henrietta Gallant, Michael Telford and Shannon Willemsen. The first in their last series of challenges is to back a trailer into a campground parking spot. Scott gives each a lesson in trailer driving, but it doesn't seem to help on the actual challenge. The second challenge is an obstacle course, which is to test the cumulative knowledge gained from the previous twenty challenges. The only thing they are explicitly told not to do is run into Andrew's "mother". The final challenge is a 27 kilometer road test through the streets of downtown Toronto. One participant gets continually off course, while another has a total meltdown. During the final deliberation, the panel of experts have it narrowed down to two participants, one of whom they do name Canada's Worst Driver. That person takes the news in stride.
- With Henrietta Gallant being named Canada's Worst Driver on season 2, series host Andrew Younghusband reflects on life with the eight contestants at the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre over the span of their driver training. This reflection is showcased in a video he calls "147 Driver Don't s", which is to demonstrate to the viewer how not to drive.
- After given a lesson to do the task by Phillippe, the participants' first challenge is to do a peel out and then a donut around a stationary obstacle without hitting that obstacle. Both the attitude and the success of completing the challenge varies between participants. The second challenge is threading the eye of the needle where the participants are required to drive through a series of narrow archways on a slightly curving course at 40 kph or faster without hitting the arches. Many of the participants have issues with maintaining speed on this challenge, and the confident drivers realize that not taking advice from the experts may be an issue. And one participant uses a medical issue as the reason for predicted failure. The third challenge is the annual figure eight reversing challenge, where two participants are required to back up simultaneously through a course, and where there is only one section wide enough to pass. Because this challenge has proved to bring out the worst of the participants in the past, the course designers decided this year to build the course as a double heart. This challenge ends up bringing out the worst in one of the nominators. In the panel deliberation, the experts choose between the most improved versus the safest driver as the Centre's first graduate of the season.
- With Denice Koke being named the first graduate of the season, there are seven participants remaining at the Centre. The seven are first given a lesson on parallel parking. They have no idea they will have to apply that lesson to the challenge of backing up and parallel parking a converted school bus through an obstacle-laden course. The participants are shocked to learn that they indeed are legally allowed to drive a school bus if the words "School Bus" are removed from the vehicle, if the bus is painted in non-school bus colors, and if all but four of the passenger seats are removed. Any passenger is even not required to wear a seat belt. For the challenge, the crew redesign it to accommodate the driving skills of some. The second challenge is a high speed skid and swerve test, where the participants are required to swerve into one of two lanes on which an obstacle will be removed at the last minute. The third challenge has the participants finding a limited number of open parking stalls in a parking lot. They will have to observe no parking signs and watch other "blocker" cars in the lot, which includes their favorite converted school bus. The participants are given an extra test on knowledge of basic road signs. And Dr. Gembora takes aside one participant and their nominator to see if there are deeper issues in their driver/passenger relationship that may be part of the driving problem. Before the panel deliberation, the participants state their case for graduation to the experts. The newest graduate is required to take a side trip before heading home.
- At the last panel deliberation, Thomas Hobbs was named the second graduate - on the caveat that he move his car racing from the street to a race track - leaving six participants remaining at the Centre. The first challenge for the six is to balance a car on one side of a seesaw, with their nominator in another car on the opposite side of the seesaw. This challenge requires hair-trigger decisiveness and good communication. The second challenge has the participants in a simulated ice skid initiated by a third party. The catch?: the third party will not initiate the skid, testing driver nerves and reaction. This challenge is aborted when one the participants kills the car. The third challenge has the participants turning a car 360 degrees within an enclosed cross-shaped course. The challenge can be completed in 29 turns. The fourth challenge is one is driving a manual drive car. The course has a few turns, requiring shifting gears; a few stops, meaning that they have to drive from a cold start a few times; and a dead end requiring shifting from first gear to reverse. Those that have driven a manual drive before have an advantage. Will they use that advantage? Shelby gets a lesson in driving a different type of vehicle, one that he has wanted to drive since he was a kid. At the panel deliberation, there is a short list of two, but the panel decide to graduate the person who has shown the most increase in confidence.
- With Marnie Maddison being named the third graduate, there are five participants left at the Centre in the running for the title of Canada's Worst Driver. After given a lesson in the task by Phillippe, the participants, as their first challenge, are required to do a 180 degree hand brake turn within an enclosed course. Most quickly learn the task but things may be a little different on the actual challenge. There end up being a few aspiring stunt drivers among the bunch. Their second challenge is to move a vehicle laterally on a 10 meter long course in both directions using a series of S-turns. There is added pressure in that the participants will go head to head with one of their fellow participants. Their third challenge has them off-roading in a 4x4, the course which includes what are called "whoopteedo"s which in turn can dislocate the driver's thumbs if they grasp the steering wheel in the traditional manner. They are required to drive the course both forward and in reverse. With the exception of Ed, each is given another participant as their passenger to see if that makes a difference in driving ability. The final challenge is the annual water tank challenge, where the participants are required to drive through a course smoothly, of else get doused by water mounted in a tank above the car. As usual, there is a lot of "fluid" driving. During the deliberation, the panel of experts decide between the most improved driver (which is their stated primary criterion for graduation) but someone who they feel is still unsafe, versus the combination safest and a highly improved driver.
- Ed Porter was named the most recent graduate, and with that there was an implication that he and his nominator ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth Cecchi, will make a new attempt at a relationship. That leaves three contenders for the title of Canada's Worst Driver: Shelby D'Souza, Jennifer Kritzer and Jason Zhang. Their first challenge is to drive a straight course at least at 40 kilometers per hour without hitting the concrete barriers on either side. There is a couple of inch clearance on either side. They have issues specifically with hitting on the passenger side, and one wants to quit the challenge. The second challenge is called the Mega Challenge, and uses skills required in most of the twenty-two challenges conducted thus far. The challenge requires three car changes. Nerves get the better of the participants, most of who treat the challenge more as a race. The final challenge takes the participants onto the streets of Barrie, Ontario. The challenge, using Andrew's pickup truck, simulates an actual driving exam with Andrew as the adjudicator. Although all four make at least one moving violation that would result in an automatic failure in a real driver's exam, the panel decide that two really should not possess and valid driver's license. But only one of the three is named Canada's Worst Driver.
- At the last panel deliberation, the experts felt Shelby the most improved (their main criterion for graduation) but still not safe enough to return to public roads. Therefore, the panel named Billie-Jean Leslie as the most recent graduate, leaving four participants at the Centre. Their first challenge has them towing a trailer on a course that has a hairpin turn, a right turn, either a parallel parking section or a long straight reverse section, and a requirement to back into a parking space. One participant cannot finish, and one nominator tries to demonstrate that they can do the challenge better than their nominee. Their second challenge is a tight maze with poor visibility. They have to rely on a map posted at the start to maneuver around the maze. It is imperative that the participants copy down the map to complete the challenge successfully. The third challenge tests if they've learned to look where they want to go. It's a 40 kilometer per hour slalom course that in the distance at an unspecified time will signal a change in the course. Thus the drivers must look for the signal off in the distance, while peripherally checking both their speed and their immediate driving. With only seven possible attempts per participant, only one of the four completes the challenge. On other issues, Jennifer atones for a past hit and run. And Scott takes Jason and Adrian aside to observe their driving relationship and to offer them some advice. They are desperate for Jason to graduate at this panel deliberation, or else Jason may lose his job and they will definitely miss Adrian's sister's wedding. Will the panel oblige Jason and Adrian at the deliberation? The three non-graduates will be destined to participate in the season finale.
- This series of challenges have all to do with big vehicle handling. The first has the participants driving a laundry truck through a narrow curving course in reverse. Some find the task difficult if only because they are not used to relying on their side-view mirrors. Mother Nature reeking havoc during the challenge doesn't help. For a task that took Andrew just under ten minutes to complete, some of the participants do not finish within the one hour time limit. The second has the participants parallel parking a minivan on a public street in front of crowd of on-lookers. They are allowed one minute for each of their two possible attempts, otherwise it is considered a failure. The third has the participants in a full sized car braking through an icy curve. Philippe explains the mechanics and the physics of the task before each participant attempts it. After these series of challenges, one participant wants to quit rehab, and the challenges themselves highlight a vision problem of another. With the latter issue, all participants are given an eye examination. Beyond the previously mentioned problem for one, another finds out about a color blindness issue. At the deliberation, the panel is split between two, but decide to graduate the one who has gained a better focus on the overall task of driving.
- With Curt Higham being named the first graduate of the season, there are seven participants left at the Centre. With it being one of the most serious driving issues for the seven, the next set of challenges is devoted to the art of lane changing. The first has them in a straight course requiring a shoulder check which will display to them a sign to tell them in which direction to turn at an upcoming V intersection. In attempting this challenge, many are so concerned about the unfamiliar act of shoulder checking that they forget about other aspects of driving to complete the challenge. The second has them driving on a small circular course with six other vehicles in two lanes, each of those vehicles which is maintaining a constant speed. The participants are required to pass all six vehicles. The third has the participants on a public road where they are required to make fifteen successful safe lane changes as monitored by their nominator. The participants are given an additional quiz on the meaning of specific road signs, which end up mystifying most. At the deliberation, the panel is split but decide to graduate the person they feel has improved the most.
- With Ken Westwood being named the most recent graduate, there are six participants remaining at the Centre. The six will face a series of challenges all requiring them to drive a manual drive vehicle. Philippe will first give them all a lesson on how to drive a stick shift. The first has them driving onto a teeter-totter platform on which they must balance. The second is a stick shift version of the smooth driving challenge where a 200 liter water tank is mounted on top of the car, water from which will drench the vehicle's occupants unless they drive smoothly. Before starting the third, Andrew and the panel discuss not who should be the next graduate but the applicability of one participants being at the Centre due to a medical issue that was undisclosed to them prior to the show.
- Because of her stress induced angina which she did not disclose prior to appearing on the show, Donna Hicks was asked to leave the Centre as a participant. The experts also suggested that she stop driving altogether which she refused to do. However, upon her return home, her driver's license was not renewed. With her departure and no graduate after the last series of challenges, there are five participants remaining at the Centre. The next series of challenges all have to do with turning skills. A pre-challenge given to the participants is to drive a narrow circular course while multitasking. This pre-challenge is to demonstrate how dangerous multitasking can be when sitting behind the wheel. Their first real challenge has them driving on a narrow rolling snaking ramp. This challenge is to see if the drivers know where the wheels of their car are located at all times on the course. The second challenge is one where the participants must make a last minute swerve to avoid hitting a suddenly appearing object. Philippe provides a demonstration on a high speed swerve to each before they attempt the challenge. For graduation, the panel primarily take into account the participants' success on the swerve and avoid challenge.
- Because all the participants failed the swerve and avoid challenge, the panel decided not to graduate anyone after the previous set of challenges. As such, five participants still remain. Their next set of challenges all involve the art of reversing. The first requires the participants to learn how to do a 180 degree reverse spin-out, a skill which will be taught to them by Philippe. They are required to do the reverse spin-out in a confined course without hitting anything. The second has the participants in a parking lot with a limited number of open spaces. They are required to back into any legal space that is open. The third has them driving a Jaguar SJ6 in an enclosed cross shaped course. They must back the car into each of the arms of the cross without hitting the concrete barriers. The fourth has the participants driving reverse in a figure eight course, with the other four participants as the passengers. At the deliberation, the panel have a short list of two, one of who may be technically the best driver but has emotional issues while driving.
- With Lindsay Kloss being named the most recent graduate, four participants remain at the Centre. The first challenge the four will perform is the annual eye of the needle, where they are to drive at high speed through a series of arches without hitting them. Following individual lessons from Dan, the second challenge has the participants towing a trailer through a winding course, which includes a hairpin turn and a final back-up into a parking stall. Following individual lessons from Philippe, the third challenge has the participants doing donuts around an obstacle within an enclosed area. Before the second challenge, Dr. Gembora takes Ashley aside for a discussion about her volatile relationship with her nominator husband Bryan, especially when she's behind the wheel, and how that negatively affects her driving. At the deliberation, there is little consensus, but the panel do come to a decision on who not to send into the finale. The final three are incredulous about that decision.
- With Teagan Cramer being named the latest graduate, there are three participants left at the Centre in the running as Canada's Worst Driver: Ashley van Ham, Emily Wang and Amy Wisniewski. Their first challenge has them driving on a course with a slight curve, but with only eight centimeters of clearance on each side. They are required to hit 40 kilometers per hour and drive the course without hitting anything. The final challenge at the Centre is to drive a course that will require all that they learned in the twenty previous challenges. Their final challenge takes them to the streets of downtown Toronto, where they are to drive a predetermined route directed by their passenger, Andrew, during rush hour. Being real life issues, Amy and Ashley, however, have their nominator husbands, Bob and Bryan, as their respective passenger. Toronto traffic is overwhelming especially for the smaller town residents. The panel have a short list of two for the title, the decision on who is worse more philosophical in nature. But the panel do name Canada's Worst Driver, who is incredulous about winning the title.
- The eight drivers and their nominators from the third season are not the worst this time around, but rather the experts. Their expertise, demonstrated through their driving challenges, is showing the 101 biggest problems on Canadian roads. One of those eight will at least no longer be able to demonstrate such as that person has since kept true to their word and given up driving altogether.
