Summary Host Andrew Younghusband quickly goes through the ten year evolution of the nominee bad driving issues on the show, before he introduces the eight nominees for this season chosen from the approximately 500 applications. They are: Ian Brannan, a Kingston cabbie who has a list of excuses for why he has so many accidents; Mariah Carriere who is unrepentant about her bad driving, including her admitted drinking and driving; George Firth, a bully of a driver, who speeds excessively, tailgates and passes on the right; Tyler Fitzsimmons whose nervousness behind the wheel leads to ignoring traffic conventions to allow other road users to do things before him, and which is all the more surprising as he is a licensed pilot who enjoys being behind the controls of an airplane; Jason Marcoux, whose bad driving may solely be a function of his poor eyesight which he has not addressed; Siham Martell, who has had severe anxiety over driving ever since she was involved in a serious car accident four years ago; Santana Pike, who believes her driving exam was too easy which allowed her to pass it without she really knowing what she was doing; and Chanie Richard, a self-taught driver who does not understand the rules of the road or know proper driving technique. Cam Woolley, who is again the panel's legal expert, discusses the fact that distracted driving has replaced drunk driving as the number one cause of serious driving injuries compared to ten years ago, with half of this season's nominees addicted to cell phone use while driving, George who watches TV on his, and Chanie who takes multiple selfies per trip on hers. The nominees' first task is to drive the predetermined route with their nominator in the back seat from Niagara Falls, Ontario to the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre at Dunnville Airport. One of the cell phone addicts decides to chart his own course using his phone's GPS rather than use the given directions. At the Centre, the nominees are then subjected to an assessment drive, consisting of a reversing section which includes both straightaways and slight curves, a tight maneuvering section through a concrete-barriered course, and a slalom which must be driven at at least 50kph. The eight then meet the expert panel for the first time, the panel who provide their initial thoughts.
