Canada's Worst Driver 2


Canada's Worst Driver 2 was the second season of the Canadian reality TV show Canada's Worst Driver, which aired on the Discovery Channel. As with the past season, eight people, nominated by their family or friends, enter the Driver Rehabilitation Centre to improve their driving skills. This year, the Driver Rehabilitation Centre is located at CFB Borden. Unlike the previous season, when the focus was on Winter Driving, the focus of this season was on Summer Driving. Also, the Driver Rehabilitation Program is one week shorter, which only persisted in this and next season. The initial drive started in Wasaga Beach, Ontario and the final road test occurred in Toronto, Ontario.

Experts

Only one expert returns from Canada's Worst Driver:

Episode 1

In deliberation, the judges are split between Matt, Shannon and Jodi. In end, Matt is the first graduate of the second season as it's clear that, without being distracted, he's a better driver. Andrew, however, makes Matt promise to never drive distracted ever again and gives him a Bluetooth headset as a parting gift.

Episode 3

In deliberation, Scott and Cam are up for graduating Karen since she's had the best performance in both the Camping Challenge and the Gas Station Challenge, as well as her in-car relationship with Allan has improved, with her becoming more assertive and more in control. Marcus and Juliana, however, believe Michael should graduate since he has better driving skills and Marcus brings up the fact Karen ran through the wall in the Wall Challenge. With a 2-2 tie between the judges, Andrew is left with the deciding vote and decides that Karen is the next graduate and gives her back her keys as the season's second graduate.

Episode 4

Although he is convinced that he duped everyone with this stunt, Cam is not convinced and calls Colin's bluff by threatening to have his driving license put up for medical review over these "blackouts," causing Colin to change his story and claim that it was a one-off event. He then calls a friend and brags about his destroying the windshield in the previous challenge, but the other contestants and nominators, including Jeremy, overhear this and all predict that he will either be named Canada's Worst Driver or be in the finale, while Colin arrogantly claims that he will graduate this episode. The judges are stumped on whom to graduate due to the poor performances. After 30 minutes of deliberation, the experts come to a short list of Michael and Sean. Marcus and Scott think Sean should graduate, while Cam and Juliana think Michael should graduate. However, Andrew, who is left with the deciding vote for the second straight episode, has a completely different idea-- in what would have been the graduation ceremony, Andrew announces that Colin would be getting his car key back, much to everyone's shock, but before he gives it back, he tells Colin that because of his immaturity and refusal to take the lessons seriously, he is expelled from rehab, stating that they're clearly not wasting their time on drivers who don't want to make a change and destroys the key with a cut-off tool. This marks the first time the series has had someone removed from rehab. As Colin, Jeremy and his car are towed all the way back to his hometown, Andrew makes a final comment: "Let's all hope Colin loses his license before his life."

Episode 5

In the end, despite Sean's performance this episode, none of the experts were enthusiastic about graduating any of the contestants. Andrew pointed out that they still had the option to graduate no one and in the end, that was the decision they came to.

Episode 6

In stark contrast to the last two episodes, the panel feel that everyone has shown enough improvement to be seriously considered for graduation. After a lengthy discussion, the panel unanimously agrees that Jodi is the most improved overall and becomes the next graduate, once again ensuring that there will not be three women in the finale. After Jodi leaves, Andrew then makes the surprise announcement that Sean is also graduating this episode, for finally seeing the error of his speeding habits, sending Shannon into the finale with Henrietta and Michael, with Sean promising that he will always stick to the speed limit from now on and that he will buy his own go-kart and take up track racing in order to get his thrills, though Andrew gives him and Melena a set of bumper stickers with the show's phone number on it in case he ever speeds in public again.

Episode 7

In their final discussion, the experts immediately agree that while she still has some way to go, Shannon is definitely not Canada's Worst Driver, as, despite committing the most moving violations during her Road Test with nine, she improved the most out of the final three and learned to take responsibility for her actions. As for the remaining two, however, Scott and Markus judge Henrietta to be Canada's Worst Driver, feeling she makes more mental errors than Michael, with Markus feeling that she's a walking time bomb who shouldn't drive at all, while Sgt. Cam and Juliana judge Michael as such, feeling that Henrietta would have had a better final drive had she actually been able to finish and that he was the worst in the Trailer Reversing Challenge, the Mega Challenge and was the closest to an accident on the Road Test. Andrew, however, points out that even though Michael did hit his "mother" in the Mega Challenge and took over three hours to complete the Road Test despite committing the fewest moving violations with six, Henrietta didn't even get halfway through hers without quitting and that not only did she pass far fewer challenges in rehab than Michael, she often refused to take fault for her failures. The experts remain divided until the end, with Andrew once again left with the deciding vote, which swings in Michael's favour as, despite performing the worst in both the Trailer Reversing Challenge and the Mega Challenge, the fact that Henrietta quit the Road Test before making it halfway through, whereas Michael attacked the Road Test head-on despite taking over three hours to complete, means that Henrietta, not Michael, is Canada's Worst Driver and is the second person to be awarded the trophy, while Michael therefore fails to graduate.
