Found this show on youtube and absolutely love it! Wish we could see it on USA television like an over the summer limited run series. I'd also like to have an American (USA) version on the same format as the Canadian version. Several years ago one network tried but the format was very different and I didn't like the host. Another problem with the American version was if one was deemed the worst driver, their vehicle was destroyed. OK, how many people will willingly sign up for a show knowing the grand prize is to watch their car be destroyed. At least with the Canadian show, they're actually trying to help the people become better drivers if they really want the help. Plenty of people here in USA need such help!

They wreck some nice classics on that show.they also often put people in standard shift cars even though they dont know how to drive a stick, some of the challenges would test a good drivers abilities,
Agreed great show.

What I like most is I actually learn or relearn things I either didn't know about driving or forgot. It's like a refresher course.

OK, finally watched the final episode of season 10. Seriously, the police in these three people's home town area should follow them every time they leave home until they have enough traffic violations to revoke their license!

I know there are some bad drivers in my area, but if you're from the same town/city as these people wouldn't you want to know what roads they travel so you can avoid them? I thought Canadians, living in a country that regularly sees snow, knew how to drive in snow? These people are more clueless about driving in snow than me and I've driven in light snow only once in my life.

I can't stand this show. I can't believe that they could make a show about something like this for "entertainment" purposes. There's nothing funny about bad driving and automobile accidents. If the number of people killed in these accidents died for any other reason there would be outrage and demands for change. Some of the things people do are just dumb. As a pedestrian it never ceases to amaze me that drivers feel that they have priority and that their arrival at a destination a few seconds or minutes faster justifies putting other peoples' personal safety at risk.

Nobody is dying in this show ,its a contrived reality show set up on a closed circuit.Perhaps Honey Boo Boo is more to your liking..
