** Another said she flirted with the driving instructor, with success.

* [[TheSociopath DONNA]]. She admitted to intentionally hitting a cyclist, ran red lights and stop signs with reckless abandon, mowed down entire obstacle courses while laughing gleefully, and was a remorseless drunk driver, to the point of PASSING OUT AT THE WHEEL. Believe it or not, it somehow gets ''worse''. Donna suffers from [[GameBreakingInjury angina,]] meaning she could potentially '''die behind the wheel'''. She thought this little detail was not worth sharing with CWD staff before she began driving at the rehab center. When Andrew refused to ride with her anymore after this was revealed, she was kicked off the show, with the official recommendation that she never drive again. Terrifyingly, Donna seemed to learn absolutely NOTHING from appearing on the show, remaining certain that she was a good driver. She fully intended to keep driving when she returned home, but lost her license due to her condition, which she, of course, [[NeverMyFault blamed the show for.]] Oh, and by the way, she [[AdultFear frequently drove her young grandkids]] in the years before appearing on the show.

* Several of the bad drivers, including runner ups Sly and Michael, have driving as part of their job, which means they spend the majority of their day on the road. That's downright terrifying.

* Darris in Season 14 admits that he has 'an assault charge' pending while he was on the show.

* Season 6, Dale chasing Andrew with the car. She ''joked'' that she was toying with him.

* Kevin's final road test in the ''Ever'' finale. It was becoming so dangerous that after Kevin drove into oncoming traffic (again) and nearly collided, Andrew had to stop the road test for fear of their own safety. Specifically, Kevin had already committed something like ten ticketable offenses during the drive and Andrew had warned him that if he continued once more, then he would end things. That was after Andrew had already tried to end it once, only for Kevin's nominator to encourage him to keep trying over the phone.

* Not surprisingly, as a general rule, the greater the season number, the greater the number of drivers who have a problem with using mobile devices while driving, whether it be talking, taking selfies, watching videos, etc.

* Considering the ten seasons of the show... ''how'' has anyone not ''died'' yet?!?

** Krystal in general. Not only is she a terrible driver, but she believes she has the RIGHT to drive badly, saying that driving safely is "boring". The fact that she has a driver's license with flagrant disrespect for the law and authority is terrifying, even without factoring in her reliance on texting all the time and dismissing her problems as being a millennial.'

* Season 12's Mike describing to another contestant how he had to re-learn how to walk, talk, eat, and sleep because of an accident that was no fault of his own. Worse, his wife (who was riding with him) describes the myriad injuries she suffered, including ''[[FacialHorror peeling part of her own face out of the dashboard.]]''

* Remember, regardless of whether or not they graduate, or are even named Canada's Worst Driver at the end, everyone gets their license back at the end of the show, as Andrew has no authority to keep holding onto it. Which means, especially if you live in Canada, you could at any time encounter one of these drivers. Sweet dreams.

* In season 8, during the Eye of the Needle challenge, Flora lost control of the Mustang, going off the road at around 140 kilometers per hour (around 85 miles per hour). As a result, the car went into a sideways skid, going for at least 25 feet. If she had hit an uneven patch of ground, she could have easily flipped her car. [[WatchThePaintJob She also knocked a bumper off it]].

* The intro to Canada's Worst Driver 12 has Andrew explain that one of the 500 candidates for the 8 nominees actually ''walked onto the highway after exiting it to see if there were any oncoming cars'''. And SHE wasn't even in the top 8 this year!

** The "insured" part became important during season 6 - Scott's unwillingness to learn caused his roommate and nominator Danny (who paid for Scott's insurance) to become fed up, verbally rip Scott a new one, and cancel the policy. As a result, Scott got booted off the show.

* A non-Canadian variant, but has been mentioned on the show: one of the final three contestants on the Dutch version of this show attempted to swerve into the right lane (during a shoulder-check challenge), hit the gas instead of the brakes after clipping a wall, panicked, foot on the accelerator, eyes closed, steering while turned right and managed to hit both the host and a cameraman. Through some miracle, nobody was seriously hurt, although the host wound up in hospital briefly with some minor shoulder and foot injuries. Not surprisingly, the contestant had his license revoked.
