Canada’s Worst Driver - Season 14 Episode 2

With Ryan Whittier being named the first graduate of the season, he the first ever to do so at the end of the first episode in a regular season of the show, there are six nominees left in the running for the title of Canada's Worst Driver. The first challenge is the annual riding the rails, which the nominees must do forward and in reverse, the challenge designed to see if they know where their wheels are at all times. The one change this season is that the car will be equipped with a bird's eye camera which will allow the drivers to see where their wheels are via the screen attached to the camera. The question then becomes whether any of them will use the technology and if it will help. The second challenge is a head to head reversing challenge through a curvilinear enclosed course. Tim will give the nominees a lesson in reversing which will also include how to use their backup camera which should only be used as an aid, and not a means to the end. Tim also gives special instruction to Brandon, who cannot reverse in traditional means due to his broken left arm in a cast. And as Darris has shown in the assessment that he knows how to reverse, Tim instead takes him on a two hour public drive to gauge his on road emotions and if the rage is still there. And the third challenge is the annual eye of the needle, with the five needles being set in a random pattern, and the course need to be driven at 70 kph. Philippe provides a lesson to each of the drivers as to the principle of looking where one wants to go in completing this challenge successfully. During the evaluation, the experts' only question is whether to graduate Darris, who knows how to drive, and even if they don't believe he is telling the truth in being a reformed person, whether there is anything else they can do for him at the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre. Some things that Darris divulges about his family history may factor into the decision.
