At the end of each episode, the show’s experts must decide which lucky driver returns to the road while the rest stay behind for more remedial road training.

Canada’s Worst Driver is modeled on the hit U.K. series, Britain’s Worst Driver.

…which then evolved into Britain’s Worst Celebrety Driver with Erik Estrada (not as the host). Pics.

So what does Faith-Ann do in the opening episode of Canada’s Worst Driver? Races down the centre line of a two-lane rural highway at 150 km/h so she won’t get overtaken by Bob, the speed maniac from Guelph. He eventually does pass her, by driving on the shoulder. Of the opposing lane. Cripes.

What Jaws did for swimming in the ocean, Canada’s Worst Driver will do for the morning commute.

Tatiana is very scared. Madalina is not at all scared. In the end, I think Madalina will be the Worst Driver in Canada.

It’s different this time. It’s all about racing and the things that surround the racing world. NASCAR Racing , that is. And maybe a little humor along the way.

I just found this blog, and so far, I’m liking it. For example:

Back again.. to a 1.5 mile, 24 degreed, all out speed track… most of these guys will tell you Atlanta is one of the favorites.. and if yesterday’s truck race was any indicator.. looks like a heckuva day in store…

A truck race is not the “prestigious” (I’m using that term quite loosely) Nextel Cup Series. Have you ever seen the payouts for a Truck event?

I was not impressed by the last lap pile-up during the Atlanta race today. I am not taking sides on the matter. Yes, I did see Jack Sprague get loose in the corner and yes, I’m not blind…I did see him trying to defend his line on old tires. Do I think that this manuever was uncalled for? No. Do I think Jack Sprague is an idiot? No. Do I think too many people want to turn racing into some politically correct shenanigan, where we need not “race”…but pull over and hand the checkered flag to whomever we deem has the best equipment? Yes.

The United States B.S. amendment to the Freedom of Information Act enacted on Sept. 3rd 2004 provides public access to motor vehicle driver’s information in an electronic format. Under the Motor Vehicle Operator License Identification Act (MOLIA), all US states are required to adhere to the Driver’s B.S. statute and store an electronic copy of all valid drivers licenses in their state…

It found mine right away – That’s a really old estimate of my weight. :-)
