Canada's Worst Driver/Handyman


Canada's Worst Driver and Canada's Worst Handyman are related, and each is both hysterically funny and utterly terrifying at the same time (i.e., the "handyman" who when faced with a three-prong plug and a two-prong outlet, rather than swapping out the outlet for a new and safe 3-prong just cut off the ground prong from the wall sconce's plug... with a hacksaw). Those are real drivers on Canada's Worst Driver, yes they're that bad, and yes they're on Canadian streets. Makes me give serious consideration to the wisdom of trading my car in for an M1 Abrams. You'll want to take the idiots who granted these maniacs their driver's licenses out behind the woodshed.

I understand from the show that there are European versions of Worst Driver.

I prefer the CWD type of reality show to the "survivor" type infesting American networks: nobody wants to be at the Rehabilitation Centre, and people tend to cheer each other on and work hard to get out. Plus Chris Makepeace's running commentary is vastly amusing. Plus plus, you learn something every episode - I think I'm a safer driver just for watching the show.
