6	A spin-off of ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver'', where its host Andrew Younghusband spends a week in a foreign locale to learn the (often [[DrivesLikeCrazy disorderly]]) nuances of being a driver there, and then attempts to perform a final test to see if he can do it "properly" (as assessed by a local citizen).

14	!!This series provides examples of
15
16	* TheAllegedCar: A lot of the cars Andrew drives are like this:
17	** The auto-rickshaw he drove in Dehli had no indicators and no horn, [[HilarityEnsues leading to Andrew clearing a path by calling "beep beep beep!" as he drove.]]
18	* AsianDrivers: Episodes have included Dehli (India), Bangkok (Thailand), Ulaan Batoor (Mongolia) and Manila (the Philippines).
19	* BribingYourWayToVictory: It's not just Margherita; Papa CJ claimed he got his license home delivered for $6.
20	** Also the reason there won't be a Russia episode anytime soon: since everything in Russia runs on bribes, the production team has no clue how much it'll cost and thus can't properly plan for it.
21	* ContinuityNod: When stopped by the Peruvian police, Andrew was willing to show his Filipino license as well.
22	* CorruptCop: Papa CJ notes that bribing traffic cops is so ingrained in Indian driving culture that India is the only place where a cop will give you change when you bribe him.
23	* DeadpanSnarker: Andrew claims the Tata Nano "goes from 0 to 60 in less than a week"
24	* DontExplainTheJoke: The segues in Peru...are done by segways.
25	* DrivesLikeCrazy: A cab driver claimed that there are "no rules" for driving in New Delhi. He's not kidding.
26	** The driving test turns out to be nothing more than driving around a divider in a parking lot and not running over a dog that happened to be sleeping next to it.
27	* InAWorld: Used for the fake trailer ''Crazy! Amigo Crazy!''.
28	* NeverMyFault: Andrew does this inadvertently during the VIP convoy in Mexico City, when he doesn't keep up with the lead car, but calls himself out on it in the narration.
29	* PoliceAreUseless: Regardless of what the official laws of the road in a given locale are, a lot of them aren't adequately enforced. In Lima, Andrew was actually cut off by a police car.
30	* SigningOffCatchphrase: Usually to the effect of "Come for the x, come for the y, but ''[[TitleDrop don't drive here]]!''"
31	* SpinOff: Of ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver''
32	* ThereShouldBeALaw: Played straight and averted. Going against oncoming traffic is usually illegal no matter where you are. Some countries do allow 2 wheeled vehicles to drive ''on'' the dotted white lines, however.
