Canada's worst driver

Anybody watch this show on the Discovery Channel?

 

Basically, it's a bunch of Canadians that take on a series of simple driving challenges [usually they fail epically]

 

You can watch Season 2-5 episodes for free here:

These people are just dangerous and it baffles me how they got their licence let alone keep it.

You know in Texas kids don't

You know in Texas kids don't even have to take the driving part of the test anymore?  Just the written.  I only took the written test, but my parents took the time and made sure I could parallel park our chevvy suburban before they let me take it.  I doubt most parents care that much.

If it was up to me, these

If it was up to me, these lunatics would never be allowed to drive again. It scares the hell out of me that they let these people back on the road. 

The show looks hilarious though.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

Lol, I see that all the time, on US sites. I didn't even know it worked in reverse.

What in the hell?! No driving test?! Considering how bad your average driver is up here in Iowa, and then this would make it even worse in Texas... scary!

Why do you people want to regulate everything? There shouldn't even be a government test! Deregulate, the free market solves all problems!

 

Keep the government out of my roads!

Toronto or Markham, both places are deadly and full of stupid dumb drivers that either can't see around them, don't bother to check their mirrors or simply have no clue how to drive/park, and of course signals are optional on their vehicles.

Why signal when you can swerve?

I know a candidate for

I know a candidate for that  show if there was ever a south African edition. 20 years old and he is on car number 3. That said im sure south Africa can beat Canada and the US combined for bad driving.. well our taxi's here can. Actually I take that back they are just very impatient

 

as seen here, iv personally seen much worse but I cannot find videos of it. Bare in mind each taxi holds 16 people..... they are death machines. It is garenteed that you will see this type of thing at least 4 times in 4 differant locations on your way to work. 

 

EDIT.... just occured to me you guys might not know which are the taxi's... they are the minibuses.

Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.

 South Africa looks very dusty.

And under-developed.

 

At least by those videos.

Why signal when you can swerve?
Why swerve when you can drive a heavier, sturdier vehicle with a really loud horn?

Yeah it is in places, you

Yeah it is in places, you don't exactly have time to film and drive while in the cities though... unless you want to die so this is a little one sided. Plus taxi's don't go into rich neighbourhoods where it is all nice and green.

I understand, it is because you are preparing for the prawns.

On an unrelated note would you be interested in donating some cat food? Our cats are starving
