History

On the first season of De Allerslechtste Chauffeur van Nederland, a bad driver injured host Ruben Nicolai and a cameraman during its shoulder check challenge when the driver let go of the wheel, covered his eyes and pressed the gas pedal. That was the first time a host was ever injured on any of the shows in the franchise.
