As with previous years, eight people, nominated by their family or friends, enter the Driver Rehabilitation Centre to improve their driving skills.
This season notably featured reckless and texting while driving contestant Krystal McCann, who not only drove in a way that was rude, inconsiderate, selfish and unacceptable,[1] but also became the first-ever Canada's Worst Driver "winner" to not receive the trophy due to her refusal to learn.
[3] In an interview, Krystal revealed that she had been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder after the show, in an attempt to explain her volatile attitude.
Cody also tells the panel what he has learned in the episode, and that he now fully understands what is at stake if he continues to drive recklessly.
Cody therefore becomes the season's first graduate and, before leaving, is given a Mike-shaped rear-view air freshener to remind him of what could happen if he lapses back into his speeding habits.
Amrinder and Diana put themselves forward for graduation and the judges consider both, due to the former being the only person to pass two challenges this episode and the latter's exemplary Eye of the Needle performance.
Despite Krystal's outburst, the experts decide that her actions are not worthy of expulsion and immediately come to the unanimous decision to graduate Diana for her near-flawless performance in this episode.
While the experts consider Daniella to be the overall best performer in this episode and praise her for researching how to properly reverse a trailer on her own time, she admits that she still finds highway driving an immensely stressful experience and is not yet ready to graduate.
When Krystal meets the experts, they tell her that had she not displayed such a blatantly poor attitude in the last challenge, she would almost certainly have been shortlisted to graduate this week.
Though Andrew notes that his final drive proves he still has a lot to learn, he also congratulates Tyler for having turned himself around during the course of the season.
