Summary 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.
