- 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.
- 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.
