there's a video of the four panel members walking side by side. Shyamala was dwarfed lol. Tim was the tallest. Surprisingly, Philippe was the second shortest
Yea, they re likable guys but Adam needs to mature some there. This trauma drama he is caring around about this small accident (if you can call it that) is a little bit much. I’ve been hit by a car while riding a bike when I was young. Also I’ve rear ended a semi while driving a fiesta on a sheet of ice. Both of these accidents caused a good amount of injuries to me. The way I look at it was God was watching out for me and it wasn’t my time. No trauma carried over from either one. You make it what it is.
36:05 Yikes, Shyamala's studio makeup did her no favors in that lighting lol. Also, it really bugs me that they're saying Adam didn't know his limits. He was the only one that wanted to try it several times and reducing it by the smallest amount each time. To me that screams that he was trying to find his limit in a safe way. Everyone else just said a number kinda hoping it would be ok. Adam said the smallest number and did it multiple times by his own choice.
Okay, at this point, Melanie is starting to piss me off. In the know your limits challenge, I think Andrew may have done more to try to convince her to not try the 10 meter reduction than any other contestant, but she still stubbornly went for it. When doing her public drives with Tim, she outright refused to state what she sees going on around her. Even I do that when I'm a passenger! And on the icy corner challenge, it actually looked like her final run was faster than 60. I know the speedometer read 60, but from the camera angle at about 30:25, it looked like she was going way faster than 60. Based on what I've seen of her final drive in the preview for next week, I really do think that Melanie is the top contender for the Worst Title. Driving diagonally across five lanes of traffic? Really? At this point, I absolutely think that barring Ashley having a final drive similar to that of Shirley's, Melanie will be the worst for certain.
Melanie "secretly" wants to be the worst driver, so she can keep telling all her friends and family how much she needs them to driver her kids to the appointments for her!
The ice challenge is THE most important skill. I live in MI and my two accidents were on wet roads because i over steered and locked my wheels. Don’t let the name of the challenge fool you because hydroplaning is common all over the world.
yep, i never knew how bad ice was because i got my license in the spring. i was driving to school one morning, and there’s a bridge on a curved corner that completely iced over. my car was almost in the creek.
the majority of their issues could be solved with driving a motorcycle instead of a car, it's so much better than nothing and motorcycles are funny as hell
8:53 is a great free body language lesson to everybody. When Melanie is asked "Do you wan't to drive" even though she says yes you can see that just before she actually shakes her head no. This is one of the easiest ways humanly possible to spot somebody not telling the truth.
Ok, so it took Shaun 23 years to get an MRI after his accident?! WTH?! Glad he had no serious brain injury. Glad Ashley actually is trying to learn, unlike Melanie lol
It took me nearly 30 years to have an MRI after a minor accident. My head hit the windshield and cracked it. I suffered migraines for years after that and discovered, 30 years later, I had a brain aneurysm. It was repaired before it ruptured so here I am.
Melanie: parties every night since she's been in rehab. refuses to practice. refuses to do the driver commentary. Quits lessons. is abusive to instructors. and on and on... Yet with 4 kids and 2 with special needs, she really does need this help. But she just doesn't want to. I got a feeling that having 4 kids, being divorced and constantly taking advantage of others who drive her to Halifax has something to do with attitude towards EVERYTHING in life! It's just bad decisions followed by more bad decisions. This lady proves that some people just shouldn't be driving. PERIOD!
She also proves that some parents never should have become a parent in the first place! 🥶 But unfortunately, the same reason why she's unfit to be a parent also happens to be what led to her being a single mother of four and the father(s) won't take care of the children part-time: because she's completely incapable of managing her own life!
I kind of want to be on this show. I'm not a bad driver, but I want to practice parking in tight spaces without having to worry about damaging other cars.
I'm the same I wanna be on the show to learn how to drive better and safer except I'm in Australia I'm terrified of reversing and parallel parking mostly because I'm scared of damaging the cars I am driving because they don't belong to me
If someone came out with a sort of driving school where you could go and do some of these challenges I think it would go over well. Even relatively good drivers would learn some things. Plus all the people who sit at home saying"I would pass that first try" could put their money where their mouth is. XD
I tried some "driver commentary" today. It actually does help, even tho I don't suck at driving. It helped to reinforce that my brain is processing the right information. Try it, it's fun! Also, I really don't think anyone should be graduated from this show, without a final public driving assessment. I think a great deal of their graduates are still hazzards
Such wonderful list of personalities. And the show directors are so very creative, even with a low budget they manage to make such fun and convincing sketches & scenarios like that.
it's a variation of a placebo effect. if you are convinced that you are being healed by a sugar pill, you will experience beneficial effect of that pill, even though you have not taken the pill. the same thing can be applied to other things human experience. Shayne convinced himself he had a brain injury, and warped his belief and his thinking that he had one, when he didn't. So, it was all in his head. why do i need to explain this to you?
Love that one, especially when he said it in all seriousness. God bless them and these instructors. They are so patient teaching through the abuse drivers give them.
@@kylemitchell2052 Exactly, it's called nocebo effect. Placebo: Latin for "I delight" -> The impression of receiving a remedy delights the patient, which boosts their confidence and instills a belief system that promotes healing Nocebo: Latin for "I harm" -> The impression of receiving a poison harms the patient, makes them worry and instills a belief system that is detrimental to healing
It makes perfect sense to everyone who's able to understand the context and omissions of human language, rather than always interpreting statements in the most literal sense possible, like a computer would.
Call me weird, but I actually thought Melanie would graduate this episode. Or not "graduate" in the traditional sense, but get sent home. The reason is simply that she doesn't seem like she wants to learn anything, so she could be deliberately trying to sabotage for herself, just so she can stay on TV longer. This is her 15 minutes of fame, after all. And if that's the case, she would be one of the few people who would "win" the trophy, rather than feel ashamed of it. And considering how bad she really is, it's not like she's magically going to turn into a great driver in the final episode anyway. An alternate theory is that she's sabotaging for herself, so she will prove to everyone that she's a terrible driver, and thus "force" people to continue to drive her around. She was willing to try come to the show to humiliate herself on national TV, but it didn't work. What more can anyone ask of her?
I stopped feeling sorry for Melanie after she started cussing out Tim. Seriously, if someone is trying help you, saying "Fuck You" is about the most ungrateful thing you can possibly do, in my mind.
This is tough. I thought since the beginning Ashely would be the worse for this season, but Melanie continues to show that she is not putting the effort into learning and I think Andrew is starting to get annoyed from it. I think Adam is possibly going to be the final graduate unless he royally screws up the final road test. And finally, good for Shayne graduating and for the great news that he is not brain damaged.
Mitch_Music for the past 3 seasons it's been one guy and two girls in the finale and the guy always graduates. Is this season gonna repeat the pattern?
Sholom probably had the worse skills than Polly but he was saved by his public drive not being quite so bad - a bit like Sly (twice). I'm torn on this because there's no way Jillian was a worse driver than Ashley is - Jillian wasn't too bad technically but just couldn't do the public drive because of psychological issues - whereas Ashley was similarly afraid of driving at first but far worse technically - and it seems ridiculous for Jillian to have 'won' if Ashley doesn't, but at the same time I just think Melanie is worse outright; she seems to still really be wrestling with a bratty, spoilt attitude of not wanting to do what she doesn't want to do vs. what she needs to do because her friends and family will not always be able to be so accommodating as they've got their own lives to get on with too, and I think she's fighting that realization. Ashley is aware of her problems but still having some difficulty computing how to correct them. Adam is in absolutely no way worse than either of them and he's been like Michael in CWD Ever, constantly on the cusp of graduating and never doing so, and it'll take a Lance-level breakdown in the public drive for him to be named the worst.
You know, criticizing your experts (Shymala) I feel like isn't generally a good tactic. Ashley understood what she meant, but all the others were criticizing her,
Not sure if she got it right, or used it as ammunition to make excuses (I thinkshe did both at different times), but sending conflicting messages to your patient is not only not helping, them it's actually harming them BIG TIME! This is literally what toxic partner's do to gaslight and manipulate their victims! (though that of course wasn't the intention). I hope they talked this out off camera with her and thoroughly explained both sides, because they're both right and NOT actually contradicting each other. We sure didn't see them do a good job at this very important lesson!
I may sound cruel for saying this but Melanie is a terrible mother, not the worst since she's not abusive, but what kind of example is she setting for them? Quitting is good? Don't listen to people who are trying to help you? She can't even take care of them properly!
According to Wikipedia, she's divorced and used to rely on her ex-husband to do all the driving. Considering she has a spoiled and whiney attitude, it sounds like she wasn't a good wife either.
I bet she gets plenty of child support of the dad. In fact I bet she goes through life piggy backing on others. She doesn't seem like she really wants to be independent and mature, in fact she seems really quite lazy and ungrateful, can't believe how she curses at the instructors like that!
@@BadDriversOz if their judges are anything like US judges, she'd pretty much have to go to prison for something for him to have any chance of getting full custody.
Sums up her entire behavior on the show, she's completely resistant to all the help and lessons they try to give her but says she really wants to learn when clearly she doesn't. I think shes there because of her kids and her friends rather than because she really wants it.
"failure embracer" oh god, that's not good advice for drivers. "Ooh, I failed so hard I hit five cars trying to back out of my own driveway haha woo failure" "Oh I failed my driving test by backing over a swan, but lol it's ok"
"Oh I failed I caused 200 cars to crashed on the highway, drove through 8 buildings, and blew up 3 gas stations on my test but yea its cool I can embrace that"
As a future counselor, I honestly thought that was terrible advice. While failure is not terrible, Shyamala should have been phrased it in a way that would have helped Ashley get past failure, rather than embrace it. Maybe instead of focusing on the word failure, perfectionism might have been a better concept to talk to her about since that can cause Ashley to feel deterred from accomplishing things as well.
It annoys the heck out of me that they keep showing that clip of Shane turning left on a red as evidence of him being a careless driver. He was turning left onto a one way street from a one way street, which is totally legal to do on a red light in Ontario. His passenger just doesn't know the laws as well as she thinks.
Remember Krystal from last year when she asked to reduce the distance between the figures by 10 meters? It was a disaster in the making. Well Ashley asking to reduce them by 8 meters really makes no difference.
It's crazy someone who won't put real effort into learning to drive is the one with 4 kids. She must be very well off somehow and not know when to stop in literally any way.
She's a single mother of four kids whose father(s) have either high-tailed the F outta there, or never intended to take care of them in the first place for the same reason that got her on CWD: because she can't and doesn't want to manage her own life! I bet you 100% she got into this situation by either sleeping around with no contraception (what's so hard about taking the pill or other contraceptives and asking him to use a condom?), or because whoever she intentionally made her children with just couldn't deal with her anymore (and unfortunately didn't get full custody of the kids.) I would also not be surprised if part of her children's conditions are due to drug use (smoking, drinking, or other stuff) during pregnancy...
Shane's sister said getting him to a doctor is like "pulling teeth." My son, who is in his final year of dental school, recently said to me, "Mom, you always said difficult things were like"pulling teeth. Pulling teeth is very easy." So I had to laugh when I heard the expression.
I think one of Melanie's deep rooted issues that makes her not want to drive is the fact that she does not want to be responsible for her kids getting hurt in a collision while she is driving and she is petrified that she will be the one to cause their injuries or death. If someone else drives, the guilt is relieved from her mind (in a sense) if something happens. She's probably an excellent mother and God bless that woman for taking care of four kids, two with special needs, by herself but for driving, sheesh.
I would argue that failure is context sensitive. For example, failing to keep a cup up right is not a problem, but failing to repair a heart is. In this case, the events are controlled, so any real danger is not that common.
I think that was the original point. She said she had pressure not to fail at anything and was told it was ok to fail. Meaning more its ok if you failed a job interview or didn't get 100% on a test. Learn why you failed and go on. She seem to have taken it more as its ok not to try.
While I'm glad that Shayne graduated, I don't feel like Adam should be in the final 3 of the contestants at all. What is holding Adam back is his confidence and I think he is miles better than both Ashley and Melanie. Adam should not be put in as one of the three contenders for Canada's Worst Driver. Although I know that he won't be named the worst, I still think it sucks that he is in the finals when I thought he was should have been the first graduate!
Why would anybody even want to help Melanie when she clearly doesn’t give a crap?!? Her children should be all the incentive she needs to get her sh*t together. I have zero sympathy for her. She doesn’t even try. 🙄
I feel the same way. In a prior episode her friend said if she refuses to drive her, Melanie will continue asking hoping to get her to drive her and if until she really can’t drive her, she’ll be mad at her. It’s tell her to F off
I don't want to judge anyone but how hard did you party that your hangover sent you to hospital (on a TV show of all things and then they felt bad for you and gave you extra attention only to say 🖕).
They were talking about the driver's commentary, and I have to say I really like that technique. My own driving instructor used that. I'm a pretty anxious person, and driving was no exception, but the commentary kind of reminded me that I was okay. You don't have to be looking for things, you just have to say what you see. "There's a car up ahead, keep an eye on what they're doing in case they brake hard or whatever. There's a sign indicating a speed limit change, so I have to increase/decrease my speed. There's a car coming to my left, but they have a stop sign, which they are stopping for. There's a guy walking down the sidewalk, but he's not in the road, so I don't have to worry about him." It really does help, even just to break that 'blank stare' you sometimes get
Melanie is so clearly going to be this year's worst, but judging by the "next time" trailer I've got a funny feeling there's going to be one more twist in store, possibly with Ashley actually managing to graduate over Adam, or pulling a Sholom and finishing ahead of Adam but without graduating.
The icy turn happened to me almost exactly the same (except it was a right turn). I was going maybe 30km/h, a speed perfectly fine for that turn in optimal condition, then I saw the snow, I braked, ABS istantly kicked in and when I felt I slowed a bit I released the brake and turned the wheel just as I would to do that turn and the car went around it perfectly fine. Bonus fact (as I tried it with my car in a safe environment): ABS kicking in while braking means wheels are turning all at roughly the same speed, it does NOT mean you can do whatever you want and the car will do it. Wheels can be turning AND sliding at the same time in very slippery condition (for my car, a snowy road is enough to experiment this), so in this case you need to slow during the straight and turn with no brake on. Bonus fact number 2: if you have a wheel skidding and one not skidding because only one has traction (and it's roughly not rotating) and the other one not (and it's moving fast but skidding) putting a little brake helps moving because it checks the wheels' speed and thinks that the not rotating one is locked (so it eases the brake on that wheel) and the skidding one is not locked (so it brakes it), thus (via the differential) forcing the non rotating wheel with traction to move.
“As a single mother of 4, she’s deserving of the most help” So, because she couldn’t manage birth control and got knocked up 4 times, she’s somehow entitled to extra sympathy?
you actually don't do it for the mother you couldn't careless about her usually you'd still care about those 4 children enough to sympathize more for her cause over others.
scantron on top of that she’s a huge whiny bitch who can’t just be respectful and try for her own kids. What a terrible mother and human being. CPS needs to take those kids away
Melanie is a classic non-player character. She can't do commentary because there simply is no higher order cognition at work there. She's just acting like an automaton. I wonder if she has an internal monologue at all.
I'm sorry but I don't feel sympathy for that single mother at all... Only for her kids and the friends that keep driving her. She get's all help she needs thrown her way but she's behaving like an entitled brat that just doesn't want to learn because it's easier to be driven everywhere by someone else instead of making an effort to learn and doing it herself.
At the beginning, I was really rooting for Melanie to get better, because I felt bad for her. However, my opinion of her has been shrinking rapidly since circa the 5th episode (when she started doing the highway drives with Tim, and made ZERO effort on the water tank challenge). Last episode was where I started to SERIOUSLY consider her a contender for the title, but I think this episode just sealed the deal for me.
While Melanie doesnt feel she wants to learn, its still difficult to choose. If Ashley fails horribly as in much more than Melanie in public drive, Ashley might be the worst. Melanie might not care but Ashley lacks more experience. Hmmm....
They should glue that STOP sign permanently on Melanie's mouth. She curses so much, you can only hear "A", "An", "The" and the spaces between STOP signs.
Melanie is a little soiled brat. I get that she has a hard time with that many kids and give her kudos for taking care of two with handicap health issues. But that doesn’t give her the right to take advantage of others and to be nasty. Her kids are her problem and not those around her. She wants her drivers license taken away so she can then use it as an excuse. Shame on her, she’s not even trying.
I want to thank RUclips for recommending me this videos. In first two episodes I had couple brain strokes but now I'm ok. I don't understand what kind of regulations are in Canada for driving license but I need to say they I wouldn't give permit to drive to nobody, maybe only the speed guy, he knows to drive but have other issues. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say bad things about Canada I just saying like driver for 13 years who has clean record in police. In Croatia driving school is regulated by law that you need to pass three exams to get driving license. First you go to traffic rules course, when lectures pass you need to pass the exam. To pass exam you can have 12 wrong points, but if you fail a single intersection on exam you failed. Traffic rules course is in you driving school that you choose, but exam is run by Croatia automobile club. After you pass traffic rules you need to pass first aid course. First aid course is run by Croatian Red Cross and after the First Aid course is done, you have exam that you need to pass. When you finished with that, than you have minimal 35 hours driving lessons with your instructor from driving school you choose. First couple of hours you drive on polygon where instructor wants you to learn the length of your car, how to control it etc. For some candidates they are on polygon for 2 hours but some spend more depends on your ability. After polygon you drive in the city, highway and open road. When the driving course with your instructor is finished and your instructor says ok we are done then you can go to Croatian automobile club and register your self for driving exam. Driving exam is run by Croatia automobile club with there instructor how sits behind you and give you direction were he wants you to drive and make marks in notes what are you doing and is ti ok or not. After you pass it, they you go to police i claim your driving license When I was taking driving license there was old law that had two part driving exam. First part was polygon exam, and you need to pass it to go to second exam. Polygon part had 5 things you need to do to pass and for every one you had 2 chances. First one was reverse driving. Second was hard braking. Hard braking is when you accelerate to 30 km/h and when you get to coins you need to brake hard and stop car in marked position. Third one was parallel parking. Fourth one was to turn around your car in three maneuver but not to go outside of road. Fifth one was uphill start. After all of that you go to city and that part can be finished in 20 minutes or in 1 hour. When you get your license you had two year license that had some restrictions. You can't drive a car that have more than 101 horse power, you need to drive 10 km less than it's regulated on road and you can't drive in period of 11 pm- 06 am without older driver in your car. That may see harm but we in Croatia had issue with younger drivers who drink and drove, speeding and they were guilty for making lots of car accidents on roads. Also lots of young people get killed in car accidents. Then in 2010. it change and now there is no that kind of regulations because there was lawsuit against state where some groups of people said it is against human rights and that law is discriminating people because of their age etc. I have driving license for 13 years, clear driver record in police and I hope that stays like that. I cannot believe that here are some people who can't control car, they don't put their hands on steering wheel, pedal control is horrific. I don't want to imagine how they would drive car with manual transmission and behave with clutch.
I feel like Melanie and Ashley have the same amount of nonexistent driving skill but at least Ashley wants to get better.
She's not interested, but Ashley doesn't cry as much.
Yes but Ashley is attractive.
Melanie: I really want to learn
CWD: Here are the tools you need to learn
Melanie: nah I'm good

Shayne convinced himself he had a brain injury, and warped his belief and his thinking that he had one, when he didn't. So, it was all in his head. why do i need to explain this to you?
Love that one, especially when he said it in all seriousness. God bless them and these instructors. They are so patient teaching through the abuse drivers give them.
@@kylemitchell2052 Exactly, it's called nocebo effect.
Placebo: Latin for "I delight" -> The impression of receiving a remedy delights the patient, which boosts their confidence and instills a belief system that promotes healing
Nocebo: Latin for "I harm" -> The impression of receiving a poison harms the patient, makes them worry and instills a belief system that is detrimental to healing
It makes perfect sense to everyone who's able to understand the context and omissions of human language, rather than always interpreting statements in the most literal sense possible, like a computer would.
I hate to say this, but I think it's Melanie that's going to get the title. I feel bad for her, but she seems not caring for the lessons.
I think what Andrew said at about 30:50 was word for word my feelings about Melanie at the very beginning.
Call me weird, but I actually thought Melanie would graduate this episode. Or not "graduate" in the traditional sense, but get sent home. The reason is simply that she doesn't seem like she wants to learn anything, so she could be deliberately trying to sabotage for herself, just so she can stay on TV longer. This is her 15 minutes of fame, after all. And if that's the case, she would be one of the few people who would "win" the trophy, rather than feel ashamed of it. And considering how bad she really is, it's not like she's magically going to turn into a great driver in the final episode anyway.
An alternate theory is that she's sabotaging for herself, so she will prove to everyone that she's a terrible driver, and thus "force" people to continue to drive her around. She was willing to try come to the show to humiliate herself on national TV, but it didn't work. What more can anyone ask of her?
I stopped feeling sorry for Melanie after she started cussing out Tim. Seriously, if someone is trying help you, saying "Fuck You" is about the most ungrateful thing you can possibly do, in my mind.
She seems to fail to accept change of independence.
In the first couple of episodes I thought Ashley was going to 'win', but now it seems like its 100% going to be that ditzy ass pea brain Melanie.
37:30
-Why’d you fail that time?
-I sped
-damn straight 😎
😂😂😂😂
jayeff808 lol
Adam seems like a great guy. I'm glad we got to watch him on this journey.
Spinoff show idea: Canada's Best Drunk Driver
This is tough. I thought since the beginning Ashely would be the worse for this season, but Melanie continues to show that she is not putting the effort into learning and I think Andrew is starting to get annoyed from it. I think Adam is possibly going to be the final graduate unless he royally screws up the final road test. And finally, good for Shayne graduating and for the great news that he is not brain damaged.
Mitch_Music for the past 3 seasons it's been one guy and two girls in the finale and the guy always graduates. Is this season gonna repeat the pattern?
We will see. Also Season 11 is kind of a stretch since Solom actually failed to graduate but was not named the worst.
Mitch_Music It was because Jill couldn't do the final drive that year. On top of that there was a heated debate between her and Polly.
True. Jillian only got the title because she could not the final drive but I still think Sholom is the worst driver of S11.
Sholom probably had the worse skills than Polly but he was saved by his public drive not being quite so bad - a bit like Sly (twice). I'm torn on this because there's no way Jillian was a worse driver than Ashley is - Jillian wasn't too bad technically but just couldn't do the public drive because of psychological issues - whereas Ashley was similarly afraid of driving at first but far worse technically - and it seems ridiculous for Jillian to have 'won' if Ashley doesn't, but at the same time I just think Melanie is worse outright; she seems to still really be wrestling with a bratty, spoilt attitude of not wanting to do what she doesn't want to do vs. what she needs to do because her friends and family will not always be able to be so accommodating as they've got their own lives to get on with too, and I think she's fighting that realization. Ashley is aware of her problems but still having some difficulty computing how to correct them.
Adam is in absolutely no way worse than either of them and he's been like Michael in CWD Ever, constantly on the cusp of graduating and never doing so, and it'll take a Lance-level breakdown in the public drive for him to be named the worst.
You know, criticizing your experts (Shymala) I feel like isn't generally a good tactic. Ashley understood what she meant, but all the others were criticizing her,
Not sure if she got it right, or used it as ammunition to make excuses (I thinkshe did both at different times), but sending conflicting messages to your patient is not only not helping, them it's actually harming them BIG TIME! This is literally what toxic partner's do to gaslight and manipulate their victims! (though that of course wasn't the intention).
I hope they talked this out off camera with her and thoroughly explained both sides, because they're both right and NOT actually contradicting each other. We sure didn't see them do a good job at this very important lesson!
Every episode I try to remember how many contestants are left. Then I realize I can just listen to how many times Philippe says "training."
Legodagas.
I actually felt proud of Ashley for fighting with her fear during the highway run
EDIT: also Adam for the icy turn
I like how they brought the therapist back after Andrew roasted her XD
Roasted her? When/what season?
@@vexedev I think Electro meant this episode.
@@vexedev 3:32 - 5:21
Therapist: Failure is OK
Anrew: Failure is not OK
🤣
Ashley is a professional hitwoman. Those foam figures flying I her dust was hysterical.
Nobody gonna talk about how many times that hubcap came off during the slalom… JUST TAKE IT OFF 😅😂
My prediction for last episode:
Final Graduate: Adam
Runner-up: Ashley
Canada's Worst Driver: Melanie
Correct
I may sound cruel for saying this but Melanie is a terrible mother, not the worst since she's not abusive, but what kind of example is she setting for them? Quitting is good? Don't listen to people who are trying to help you? She can't even take care of them properly!
According to Wikipedia, she's divorced and used to rely on her ex-husband to do all the driving. Considering she has a spoiled and whiney attitude, it sounds like she wasn't a good wife either.
and not smart either, considering she's 27 with 4 kids.
I bet she gets plenty of child support of the dad. In fact I bet she goes through life piggy backing on others. She doesn't seem like she really wants to be independent and mature, in fact she seems really quite lazy and ungrateful, can't believe how she curses at the instructors like that!
Maybe the FATHER should have those kids. I know I would take them off her if she was like that! I would go for sole custody!
@@BadDriversOz if their judges are anything like US judges, she'd pretty much have to go to prison for something for him to have any chance of getting full custody.
"I have no problem with my brain, it was all in my head" 😂😂😂
8:52 when shyamala asks if she wants to drive, melanie shakes her head no, but says yes...
Sums up her entire behavior on the show, she's completely resistant to all the help and lessons they try to give her but says she really wants to learn when clearly she doesn't. I think shes there because of her kids and her friends rather than because she really wants it.
ashley sterling c.f. tv
That’s actually fucking hilarious
@@Hugo_1 I'm not since it's sad that those ressources Who could have helped someone that really wanted help goes to waste
GothSpark 👌
"failure embracer" oh god, that's not good advice for drivers. "Ooh, I failed so hard I hit five cars trying to back out of my own driveway haha woo failure" "Oh I failed my driving test by backing over a swan, but lol it's ok"
"Oh I failed I caused 200 cars to crashed on the highway, drove through 8 buildings, and blew up 3 gas stations on my test but yea its cool I can embrace that"
It's a bit of a hard balance
At this point she was in the phase of being so scared she can't leave her house
Aaron Bakota "backing over a swan" 🤣
As a future counselor, I honestly thought that was terrible advice. While failure is not terrible, Shyamala should have been phrased it in a way that would have helped Ashley get past failure, rather than embrace it. Maybe instead of focusing on the word failure, perfectionism might have been a better concept to talk to her about since that can cause Ashley to feel deterred from accomplishing things as well.
It’s Canadian. It’s ok. They say sorry and move on
Ashley’s slalom in the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS: Worst Ever!
It annoys the heck out of me that they keep showing that clip of Shane turning left on a red as evidence of him being a careless driver. He was turning left onto a one way street from a one way street, which is totally legal to do on a red light in Ontario. His passenger just doesn't know the laws as well as she thinks.
She really wants to get it but doesn’t even try in the slightest and takes this whole thing as a joke
Adams dad is awesome. :D
Tim looks like the guy who has the driving instructor equivalent of Vietnam flashbacks.
Normal, normal, normal, normal, and unremarkable.
Hahaha
Remember Krystal from last year when she asked to reduce the distance between the figures by 10 meters? It was a disaster in the making. Well Ashley asking to reduce them by 8 meters really makes no difference.
It's crazy someone who won't put real effort into learning to drive is the one with 4 kids. She must be very well off somehow and not know when to stop in literally any way.
Melanie should hire a professional limousine driver to take her everywhere then shed be happier and not wasting people's time.
@@cpmffeilberg4970 I mean hey, Adam did always want to be a Limo driver. Could be good money if she's willing to pay.
She's a single mother of four kids whose father(s) have either high-tailed the F outta there, or never intended to take care of them in the first place for the same reason that got her on CWD: because she can't and doesn't want to manage her own life!
I bet you 100% she got into this situation by either sleeping around with no contraception (what's so hard about taking the pill or other contraceptives and asking him to use a condom?), or because whoever she intentionally made her children with just couldn't deal with her anymore (and unfortunately didn't get full custody of the kids.)
I would also not be surprised if part of her children's conditions are due to drug use (smoking, drinking, or other stuff) during pregnancy...
"I have no problem with my brain...it was all in my head." LOL.
Tim makes the best "what the heck?" face.
Still missin Baba G
Shane's sister said getting him to a doctor is like "pulling teeth." My son, who is in his final year of dental school, recently said to me, "Mom, you always said difficult things were like"pulling teeth. Pulling teeth is very easy." So I had to laugh when I heard the expression.
Embrace failure? No, I don't think so. Learn from it yes, embrace it no.
Adam may do well enough to be the final graduate. Ashley reminds me a lot of Daniela. However, Melanie will be CWD.
If love to see Adam a limo driver if he still wants to be..i love the props they use to encourage the drivers. 😊👍💓😎👼
That Camaro looks pretty banged up, compared to every other car on the show.
I think one of Melanie's deep rooted issues that makes her not want to drive is the fact that she does not want to be responsible for her kids getting hurt in a collision while she is driving and she is petrified that she will be the one to cause their injuries or death. If someone else drives, the guilt is relieved from her mind (in a sense) if something happens. She's probably an excellent mother and God bless that woman for taking care of four kids, two with special needs, by herself but for driving, sheesh.
this is 100% accurate
Tim danter's face oh my God is funny to look at some times
1:02 oh my god no 😫😫😫that Camaro
Much appreciated for the upload. Melanie is definitely going to be the worst driver.
O man I really love that Cadillac limo
I love both limos. 😊👍
I would argue that failure is context sensitive.
For example, failing to keep a cup up right is not a problem, but failing to repair a heart is. In this case, the events are controlled, so any real danger is not that common.
I think that was the original point. She said she had pressure not to fail at anything and was told it was ok to fail. Meaning more its ok if you failed a job interview or didn't get 100% on a test. Learn why you failed and go on. She seem to have taken it more as its ok not to try.
6:10 RIP hubcap lol
In Norway you have to a do a mandatory course on slippery driving to get a driver's license
36:05 OMG is she a dwarf? 😂😂😂
Right? Right!? She's tiny!
I bet if Tim was allowed to slap the fuck out of people saying "I hate you" and "I don't know" they would probably get a lot more done.
I want Andrew's guerrilla costume xD
While I'm glad that Shayne graduated, I don't feel like Adam should be in the final 3 of the contestants at all. What is holding Adam back is his confidence and I think he is miles better than both Ashley and Melanie. Adam should not be put in as one of the three contenders for Canada's Worst Driver. Although I know that he won't be named the worst, I still think it sucks that he is in the finals when I thought he was should have been the first graduate!
I get the feeling that Melanie might have special learning needs.
Adam does know his limits.
Why would anybody even want to help Melanie when she clearly doesn’t give a crap?!? Her children should be all the incentive she needs to get her sh*t together. I have zero sympathy for her. She doesn’t even try. 🙄
I feel the same way. In a prior episode her friend said if she refuses to drive her, Melanie will continue asking hoping to get her to drive her and if until she really can’t drive her, she’ll be mad at her. It’s tell her to F off
Andrew's personality is awesome.
32:32 Adam's dad: you're a MAN! You're from my loins!
Andrew: 👀
I don't want to judge anyone but how hard did you party that your hangover sent you to hospital (on a TV show of all things and then they felt bad for you and gave you extra attention only to say 🖕).
They were talking about the driver's commentary, and I have to say I really like that technique. My own driving instructor used that. I'm a pretty anxious person, and driving was no exception, but the commentary kind of reminded me that I was okay. You don't have to be looking for things, you just have to say what you see. "There's a car up ahead, keep an eye on what they're doing in case they brake hard or whatever. There's a sign indicating a speed limit change, so I have to increase/decrease my speed. There's a car coming to my left, but they have a stop sign, which they are stopping for. There's a guy walking down the sidewalk, but he's not in the road, so I don't have to worry about him."
It really does help, even just to break that 'blank stare' you sometimes get
Melanie is so clearly going to be this year's worst, but judging by the "next time" trailer I've got a funny feeling there's going to be one more twist in store, possibly with Ashley actually managing to graduate over Adam, or pulling a Sholom and finishing ahead of Adam but without graduating.
I did cry a littel when adam cryd
The icy turn happened to me almost exactly the same (except it was a right turn). I was going maybe 30km/h, a speed perfectly fine for that turn in optimal condition, then I saw the snow, I braked, ABS istantly kicked in and when I felt I slowed a bit I released the brake and turned the wheel just as I would to do that turn and the car went around it perfectly fine.
Bonus fact (as I tried it with my car in a safe environment): ABS kicking in while braking means wheels are turning all at roughly the same speed, it does NOT mean you can do whatever you want and the car will do it. Wheels can be turning AND sliding at the same time in very slippery condition (for my car, a snowy road is enough to experiment this), so in this case you need to slow during the straight and turn with no brake on.
Bonus fact number 2: if you have a wheel skidding and one not skidding because only one has traction (and it's roughly not rotating) and the other one not (and it's moving fast but skidding) putting a little brake helps moving because it checks the wheels' speed and thinks that the not rotating one is locked (so it eases the brake on that wheel) and the skidding one is not locked (so it brakes it), thus (via the differential) forcing the non rotating wheel with traction to move.
“As a single mother of 4, she’s deserving of the most help”
So, because she couldn’t manage birth control and got knocked up 4 times, she’s somehow entitled to extra sympathy?
you actually don't do it for the mother you couldn't careless about her usually you'd still care about those 4 children enough to sympathize more for her cause over others.
scantron she didn't even want it too, you don't insult someone that's honestly trying to teach you
scantron on top of that she’s a huge whiny bitch who can’t just be respectful and try for her own kids. What a terrible mother and human being. CPS needs to take those kids away
She was married. Her husband left her and got a divorce. Maybe he was the one who wanted all those kids.
Nancy Pine So he forced her to have kids? No, she agreed and wanted them too, and now she’s being a rotten mother.
36:16 I didn’t know Shyamala was under 5 ft
I felt for Adam on that icy corner thing.
22:42 Whoever was throwing that "snow" was having a blast! I wonder what Andrew had done to him to deserve this! 🤣
17:00 Shayne would be awesome as a school bus driver.
OMG not a flipping link thank you so much!
Melanie is a classic non-player character. She can't do commentary because there simply is no higher order cognition at work there. She's just acting like an automaton. I wonder if she has an internal monologue at all.
I'm sorry but I don't feel sympathy for that single mother at all... Only for her kids and the friends that keep driving her.
She get's all help she needs thrown her way but she's behaving like an entitled brat that just doesn't want to learn because it's easier to be driven everywhere by someone else instead of making an effort to learn and doing it herself.
That gold limo is SO COOL
Alright final call for bets on who'll get it
And I can't believe it but I think Melanie has it over Ashley
At the beginning, I was really rooting for Melanie to get better, because I felt bad for her. However, my opinion of her has been shrinking rapidly since circa the 5th episode (when she started doing the highway drives with Tim, and made ZERO effort on the water tank challenge). Last episode was where I started to SERIOUSLY consider her a contender for the title, but I think this episode just sealed the deal for me.
pokemonmanic3595 MELANIE 100%
also internally in my mind i'm still obsessing over how I actually found someone from TWOW here
The only way Melanie will avoid the title is if Ashley pulls a Shirley, and Melanie a Sly. Which I do not see happening.
Tyler Marchand She cried to get her drivers license. That's how.
While Melanie doesnt feel she wants to learn, its still difficult to choose. If Ashley fails horribly as in much more than Melanie in public drive, Ashley might be the worst. Melanie might not care but Ashley lacks more experience. Hmmm....
Legend has it, he still has glass stuck in his fingers. 1:06
rip nice car:(
They should glue that STOP sign permanently on Melanie's mouth. She curses so much, you can only hear "A", "An", "The" and the spaces between STOP signs.
Lol
Dat shipping at the end tho.
I feel so bad for that camero.
*THE INCIDENT*
_Almost hits mailbox_
Adam is the embodiment of reddit
Melanie is a little soiled brat. I get that she has a hard time with that many kids and give her kudos for taking care of two with handicap health issues. But that doesn’t give her the right to take advantage of others and to be nasty. Her kids are her problem and not those around her. She wants her drivers license taken away so she can then use it as an excuse. Shame on her, she’s not even trying.
I want to thank RUclips for recommending me this videos. In first two episodes I had couple brain strokes but now I'm ok. I don't understand what kind of regulations are in Canada for driving license but I need to say they I wouldn't give permit to drive to nobody, maybe only the speed guy, he knows to drive but have other issues. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say bad things about Canada I just saying like driver for 13 years who has clean record in police. In Croatia driving school is regulated by law that you need to pass three exams to get driving license. First you go to traffic rules course, when lectures pass you need to pass the exam. To pass exam you can have 12 wrong points, but if you fail a single intersection on exam you failed. Traffic rules course is in you driving school that you choose, but exam is run by Croatia automobile club. After you pass traffic rules you need to pass first aid course. First aid course is run by Croatian Red Cross and after the First Aid course is done, you have exam that you need to pass. When you finished with that, than you have minimal 35 hours driving lessons with your instructor from driving school you choose. First couple of hours you drive on polygon where instructor wants you to learn the length of your car, how to control it etc. For some candidates they are on polygon for 2 hours but some spend more depends on your ability. After polygon you drive in the city, highway and open road. When the driving course with your instructor is finished and your instructor says ok we are done then you can go to Croatian automobile club and register your self for driving exam. Driving exam is run by Croatia automobile club with there instructor how sits behind you and give you direction were he wants you to drive and make marks in notes what are you doing and is ti ok or not. After you pass it, they you go to police i claim your driving license When I was taking driving license there was old law that had two part driving exam. First part was polygon exam, and you need to pass it to go to second exam. Polygon part had 5 things you need to do to pass and for every one you had 2 chances. First one was reverse driving. Second was hard braking. Hard braking is when you accelerate to 30 km/h and when you get to coins you need to brake hard and stop car in marked position. Third one was parallel parking. Fourth one was to turn around your car in three maneuver but not to go outside of road. Fifth one was uphill start. After all of that you go to city and that part can be finished in 20 minutes or in 1 hour. When you get your license you had two year license that had some restrictions. You can't drive a car that have more than 101 horse power, you need to drive 10 km less than it's regulated on road and you can't drive in period of 11 pm- 06 am without older driver in your car. That may see harm but we in Croatia had issue with younger drivers who drink and drove, speeding and they were guilty for making lots of car accidents on roads. Also lots of young people get killed in car accidents. Then in 2010. it change and now there is no that kind of regulations because there was lawsuit against state where some groups of people said it is against human rights and that law is discriminating people because of their age etc. I have driving license for 13 years, clear driver record in police and I hope that stays like that. I cannot believe that here are some people who can't control car, they don't put their hands on steering wheel, pedal control is horrific. I don't want to imagine how they would drive car with manual transmission and behave with clutch.
18:10 That wrong-way driver in the Uplander should be one of the nominees for Canada’s Worst Driver 14.
is this the last episode!?? i've just started watching the season 8 & 9 on netflix in aus and now im addicted
