Summary 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.
