Summary Andrew introduces the eight nominees as Canada's Worst Driver Season 12. There are the nervous drivers: Tyler Dupont, a serial hit-and-runner who feels he's a safer driver by self-medicating with a few beers beforehand to calm his nerves; Daniella Florica, who would rather give up than continue whenever she gets nervous on the road which is often; and forty-one year old Lou Valcourt, whose nerves are largely from inexperience as she has only had her license for one year and has only driven by herself four times in her life. One extraordinary nominee in this category is Mike Adrain, the victim of a head-on collision thirteen years ago which left him with permanent brain damage. His license was revoked after emerging from his several month coma following the accident, then reinstated four years ago after he went through driver retraining at a brain injury clinic. The result of the injury on his driving is that he has slow reaction and cognition, which he feels he can overcome by repetition in tasks. There is the distracted driver: spiritualist Diana Hutchings believes her spirit guides will keep her safe, she not realizing that she is focusing more on things like her spiritual staff or reading out of her positive scriptures book while driving than keeping safe by being aware. And there are the purposefully reckless drivers: Cody Jensen, who has fun on the road by doing dangerous maneuvers like drifting, the result being he is one ticket away from losing his license for the seventh time; and Amrinder Dua, whose smug and cavalier attitude about driving and rules of the road has resulted in six major accidents thus far. The final nominee also falls into this last category: Krystal McCann, who Andrew and the experts believe on first glance is the most dangerous driver ever in rehab, as she seems to have no regard for the safety of herself or of others on the road, she believing her driving not a problem as she has not killed anyone. Andrew does not believe she is inherently a bad person when not behind the wheel, but he has the harshest words for her about her recklessness when behind the wheel. The nominees' first task is to do the approximate ninety minute drive on the predetermined route with their nominator in the back seat from Niagara Falls to the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre at Dunnville Airport. The belief by those associated with the show of Krystal's extreme dangerousness on the road is so strong that no cameraperson is willing to accompany her on this drive. 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 50kph. The eight then meet the expert panel for the first time, the panel who provide their initial thoughts.
