Canada Worst Driver Show Time

— Andrew Younghusband, opening season 5. A Canadian which focuses on rehabilitating the worst drivers in, 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. In other words, you don't want to move on to the next round. The 'winner' (or should we say loser) in the end is crowned the titular 'worst driver', and often receives an.

As such, Canada's Worst Driver is considered to be the production company's flagship show. Unlike other Worst series around the world, the Canadian version emphasizes the learning process of the contestants and the science of driving. As such, it is often more serious than the other Worst shows around the world, which. Mar 1, 2014 - 46 min - Uploaded by Ean OrselI feel like a blind person shouldn't be driving.

While the show's goals are serious, a lot of it is mainly. Yes, there are. Yes, there are.

And two contestants (Emily of Season 4 and Flora of Season 8) were both.. The show started in September 2005 and is still ongoing. Season 9 was retitled Canada's Worst Driver Ever, and brought back 'winners' from earlier seasons for a 'who's the worst' competition; the show returned to its usual title and a new crop of bad drivers with Season 10. In certain regions note Confirmed in both US and NZ so-far, you can now see two seasons of the show, Season 8 and Season 9 ( Worst Driver Ever) on and certain seasons, (season 10 at least) have been uploaded to by the producers themselves. Season 13 premiered on October 23, 2017.

Andrew, on Colin, Season 2: Let's hope he loses his license before his life. • //: Some of the contestants are shockingly clueless. These are arguably the scariest type of bad driver. With some, you wonder if they're even aware they're driving. • Best exemplified by Dale, especially on Ever. • Kevin was just as bad, as he insisted he was in the left turn lane when he wasn't (and turned right in front of a bus), failed to see a tractor-trailer rig, and simply didn't seem to notice anything going on around him. • Flora also baffled the experts and tied as 'winner' with Kevin.

Apart from being unable to remember driving techniques taught, she was unable to reverse at all, even in a straight line. In one challenge, Flora assumed that she did not need to steer when reversing, ploughing through the obstacles and becoming stuck. In the road test, she was almost as bad as Kevin, being unable to recognise lanes and stopping at every green light.

• Chanie from Season 10 not only forgot driving maneuvers, but during her final exam was unable to identify common road signs. (She had also 'forgotten' to tell the show that while she's supposed to be taking medication for her focus issues, she'd gone off them because she didn't have time to get the prescription renewed. Andrew was not happy when he learned this after her road test.) • Polly from Season 11 seems to be teetering on this with at least one incident so far in each episode due to her falling square in this trope.

•: Occasionally played straight by contestants in their past experience. • In Season 4, which was held at a closed, there were numerous cases of Laundry Truck Meets Prison. • Dale managed to do this with a garage—specifically, she drove through the door. Not the doorway, the door, which was closed at the time. • Season 11 had a few cases of Car Meets Hangar (the contestants had to reverse a trailer into a hangar). •: In addition to his crappy attitude toward rehab, Colin from Season 2 frequently tried hitting on fellow contestant Shannon and her nominator Sara, despite both making it clear they were completely uninterested in him.

Needless to say, they were happy to see him kicked out. Driver 8 In 1 Multi Panel. •: The host at times.

•: • 'Look where you want to go' is perhaps the single most important lesson of the show, and thus is repeated a lot. • After demonstrating each challenge (to prove that an average driver can do them), Andrew tells the camera, 'Now, let's see how do.' • And after a particularly bad run, '[contestant name] might be Canada's Worst Driver.' Or, for Season 9, '[contestant name] might be Canada's Worst Driver Ever.' • This was actually invoked on a contestant in Season 1: David had a nasty tendency to scrape his car on any surface prompting Andrew to tell David to heed the advice of 'if I hear metal scraping on metal, I will stop'. When he improved his performance later on during the season, Andrew told David to repeat the Andrew gave him before he would be allowed to graduate. He did, and promptly graduated from the show.

•: The is presented like this. • (): a stop sign appears over the contestants' mouth whenever they swear (along with accompanying bleep). Punk rocker Jakob from Season 5 got an anarchy symbol instead. The censor box also appears (repeatedly) if any swear words are displayed on a visible object (i.e. Tina's 'If you don't like my driving' sign). It's also occasionally used for gestures, i.e.,.

•: The show has a serious point, but most of it's. And if you think it's really funny—meet Aaron, or rather, what's left of him after a serious car crash. Photos of him in the hospital were in every episode of Season 7. •: Many of the drivers try to iron out their flaws. •: • In the first season, Madalena decided she didn't want to go through all the trouble of actually carrying out the scavenger hunt challenge, and just got all the answers from locals in a bar. Not surprisingly, the experts told her that the actual point of the challenge was to navigate to the places where she could find that information herself. • On the 'Swerve and Avoid' challenge on Ever, Dale claimed that she did in fact, go into the correct lane by the car in the other lane.

This has also been suggested in Ever with regards to Dale's injury in the penultimate leg as the judges appear to be convinced that she injured herself to avoid the title of Canada's Worst Driver Ever. It didn't work—she was brought back to face the possibility of still being named the worst. • Kevin failed the same challenge by guessing after screwing up his first two attempts. •: In Season 10, Chanie gives Andrew her two Driver's Licenses. During the last episode, with Chanie named the Worst Driver of the season, Andrew proceeds to cut one of her licenses to Chanie's horror, only to reveal that having two Licenses is actually illegal and that he just saved her from a very expensive ticket, along with giving back her remaining license. • Somewhat predictable though, as previous contestants (and the show) noted that it is illegal to cut up a license. Dale only had a copy of her license cut; Kevin commented he would sue the show if they cut his; while other contestants cut up their own licences.

Knowing this, one could easily have called Andrew's bluff. •: The Water Tank Challenge course on Season 7 has a car that randomly backs up out of the row of parked vehicles. Of course, the point is to notice this, and smoothly slow to a stop. Guess what happens next.

•: Every single car ON the show, and most that the drivers have used as well. Lampshaded by Michael in Ever. After looking at the Camaro before taking his turn at the assessment challenge, he commented that '[he]'d hoped to drive the flagship vehicle at least once before it got mangled.' •: • Season 1 has the aforementioned Canada's Worst Driver vs. The World special (which featured clips from international versions of the franchise). • Season 3 was accompanied by a clip show detailing some of the top 101 problems on Canadian roads, as demonstrated by that season's contestants.

• The premiere of Season 8 was preceded by the 'U Asked!' Special the night prior, which featured answers to frequently asked questions about the series. • Ever started with one to re-introduce the quote unquote 'all-stars' of the season.

•: An interesting variation. In Season 6, Lance started out. At the end, he looked like a slob, wearing a torn wifebeater and some face stubble. •: • Diane gets to spout one off right off the bat for Season 8 (censored, of course), getting bleeped more than 20 times in her 30-second driving intro. She's arguably the biggest potty-mouth of the Season 8 contestants. Azim from that same season is not too far behind her. Of course, they weren't the only ones to ever do so.

• After Flora breaks the rear bumper off and almost rolls over the Mustang in the Eye of the Needle challenge, Andrew declares it necessary to do so as well. • Invoked intentionally by Andrew for a 'If Taught Parallel Parking' sketch, with the obvious impression. •: • Season 5: Mike Butt's father is a driving instructor, and Arun had serious trouble figuring out how a stick shift works. Despite being a mechanical engineer and having owned a stick-shift back in India. • Season 6: Dale (runner-up) had an extensive history of ignoring traffic rules and bumping things, despite her husband being also a driving instructor. Lance and Brad both own stick-shift, while Dean drove one back in Zimbabwe, but all three burn out 4 clutches (Lance killed two - the first one he kept trying to get into first gear, despite it being already in gear).

• Ian of Season 10 is a taxi cab driver! •: The metallic rims often littered around certain challenges.

They're loud when knocked over, and can cause some vehicular damage in certain scenarios. •: Done fittingly inside half of a car. Unlike other examples of the trope, it's also kept very much to a minimum with drivers commenting after challenges or big events and usually reflecting on their progress in that challenge (or their feelings after the event) instead of describing things before and during the event. •: Mariah made an appearance in before Krystal's public drive. •: Basically, this happens once the show airs on Canadian TV, and the worst of the worst is rooted out. Only three drivers have suffered this fate which were Colin, Scott and Krystal.

•: Many challenges (often ones that require the use of speed and control) will often use fancy cars, mainly of the classic variety. • Beginning in Season 6, when Andrew claimed that viewers were telling them to stop using classic cars, they started buying new (well, almost new in most cases) ones instead! As each season's car is used across multiple challenges, it naturally became the for the contestants. The first of these was a new Chevrolet Camaro.. • For Season 7, they bought a used 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T, customized with a Canadian flag paint job to go with the theme of the season • For Season 8, they brought in a Ford Mustang. They were hoping to use it as part of their, but given the poor condition the Mustang ended up in, they rented another for the exam.

During that test, Kevin hit something with the rental, although we don't know what or how. • Ever used another Camaro. • Season 10 brings in a Cadillac, and then a 11th generation Thunderbird for the final drive. • Season 11 had a Dodge Charger. • Season 12 used a 2016 Ford Mustang GT. • Season 13 had Camero.

•: During Amy's final drive in Season 4, Bob decides to play tourist by snapping lots of photos, including one of a man in a woman's dress. Andrew: There goes Chanie, in the wrong shoes. Season 11's Jordan might not have Lance's clothing budget, but does more primping behind the steering wheel than some of the female contestants. •: • Season 7 had one, and not in a good way for the person involved. Prior to the final test, the experts and Andrew predicted that Sly would easily be Canada's Worst Driver, Aaron would only be the worst if the traumatic memories of his accident caused him to suffer a total, while Shirley would if anything do even better than usual without her daughter in the car. In the event however, Aaron did absolutely fine, and Sly also did relatively well, while Shirley racked up a whole host of moving violations and ended up being named the worst.

• Kevin looked like he might pull this off in a good way in Ever — in the last episode, he was the only one to pass the reverse/forward slalom challenge, and he did better than the others (though still not well) at the mega-challenge. How To Activate Windows Phone 7 On Hd 2500. However, his road test (which is given the most weight by the judges) was just plain awful and he ended up as the worst.

• Season 11 had a similar scenario to Season 7; Sholom was generally considered the favourite to be the worst going into the final episode, with Polly also a serious contender for the title, while Jillian seemed likely to have the season's 'breakout drive' and finally vanquish her fear of driving. While Sholom did poorly in his final drive, and Polly even worse, Jillian proved unable to even attempt her final drive, which ended up causing her to be named the worst.

•: Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. Jim-Bob: (in response to Andrew's comment that the car Santana is in is worth $60,000) When she's done, it will be worth 60 dollars.

•: Cam does this a lot. Piss him off with some legally questionable driving (or even trying to justify it) and you are sure to get one of these. Given that he was a former traffic cop who probably has seen his share of destruction, it's not hard to wonder why. •: With only five judges, tie-breaking votes happen a lot. • Occasionally averted entirely when one candidate does way better than all the rest (and all agree that the candidate should leave), or when only one judge dissents (in Season 5, all judges agreed that Angelina should be the worst driver, save for Cam Woolley who named Mike Butt instead), and sometimes no one can agree, so no one graduates.

• Also Averted in the finale of Season 8 where Andrew (as the tiebreaker) cannot decide who is the worst driver, Flora or Kevin, with equally bad performances. They both end up 'winning' the award. • And in the second-last episode of Ever, nobody graduated because all the experts agreed that Dale was not fit to drive and expelled her. Andrew even cut up (a copy of) her driver's license before kicking her out. • Also averted in the second episode of Season 11, where the panel is split between graduating Tina or Alex and decides in the end to let them both graduate. •: Of every bad driving trope out there. And also,, and (all used to get driver's licenses),,,, etc.

The main tool for deconstruction?. •: • Season 5's Angelina and Season 8's Flora and Kevin were adamant about not giving up driving despite their overall horrid driving. All three were named Canada's Worst Driver as a result. • Angelina herself subverted this in Ever, when it was clear that she needed therapy for her issues, she agreed to therapy sessions arranged by the show and left. • Dale in Ever is the same way. After the expulsion mentioned above, Andrew instructed her nominator Danny to drive her home. Despite Dale having partially severed a finger tendon and her hand being bandaged to the point that she was physically incapable of driving, nobody trusted her not to try.

• Krystal barely tried to correct her bad driving habits during season 12. •: Ashley's complete inability to get on with her husband while driving caused her to be named Canada's Worst Driver in Season 4, despite runner-up Emily obviously being a far more inept driver overall. Jillian from Season 11 appears to be teetering on this with her blowing up at her husband repeatedly while driving. •: Either sex.

•: The reason for Mariah's constant laughing and drinking-driving early on in Season 10? Coping mechanism - her father walked out when she was 12 and she stopped expressing actual happiness. •: One contestant admitted to having sex while driving.

• • Donna from Season 4 turned out to have a heart ailment and had to leave the show. • Crystal from Season 5 was permitted to leave after her brother-in-law was killed in a driving accident. • Angelina from Ever had to leave the show after it was determined that she had a mental condition and the show arranged for therapy sessions for her. •: Krystal fails to understand a number of important safety lessons. She's pretty much the only person to not get after the distracted driving challenge that driving distracted is dangerous. •: Attempted on a couple of contestants who had serious medical problems.

• Sorry, Donna, but you have a (Season 4). She refused to give up driving, but her license was put up for medical review (and she lost).

• Sorry, Kevin, but you're half-blind - he simply refused to turn his head to compensate. He, too, refused to give up driving, and tied for Canada's Worst Driver in Season 8 before winning it by himself in Ever. • Aaron teetered on this in Season 7, but eventually proved himself a good driver. • Angelina not being able to medicate her psychological issues properly more or less further impaired her bad driving skills in Ever. Add onto the fact that she required anxiety medication during her final drive in Season 5. • Mike averted this in season 12.

Tyler also had a permanent brain injury that went unrevealed for more than half the season, but he also graduated. •: Seriously, what part of 'Canada's Worst Driver' do you not understand? At least two in every season, and waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too many to count these days. •, the Chevrolet Camaro that weaves through traffic and speeds past construction zones has a license plate that reads 'XLR8N'.

• In Season 1, Faith Ann Stone was a speed freak nominated by four people - all acting independently. Bob is equally bad, if not worst - he speeds far above highway speed limits and played 'bumper tag' (practically a non-safe brake check ) with a transport truck that had pulled in front of him on the way to rehab, and was meters of getting rear-ended. • In Season 2, Sean's vanity plate 'SPEEED'.
