Canada's Worst Driver 6 is the sixth season of the Canada's Worst Driver series, where eight contestants known by those close to them for being bad drivers are taught lessons on improving their driving skills. As with previous seasons, the contestants are taken to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre, which takes place this year at Dunnville Airport in Dunnville, Ontario. The season finale was in Niagara Falls, Ontario for the first time.
For this season, a new series logo was commissioned, coinciding with an increase in fundamentals of high-performance driving in the lessons this year.
Three experts return from previous seasons, joined by host Andrew Younghusband and a new expert as the judging panel, who will evaluate the contestants on their progress.
The eight contestants for this year are as follows:
In the deliberation, each contestant meets with the experts for a personal discussion on why they are here. However, as this is the first episode, no one leaves the Driver Rehabilitation Centre.
Web extras for this episode:
Before Scott takes his run, his driving history is revealed. Though ostensibly entering rehab to be a better driver for his son Isaac, he quickly earns the ire of the show's crew for his juvenile behaviour. Near the end of the show, Scott stated on camera that he had driven far over the speed limit (once going as high as 200 km/h), kept driving despite having his license suspended, used another person's license while his was suspended (once while also under house arrest), committed hit-and-runs, and drove while drunk; Cam, as a former police officer, relayed the information to the Calgary Police Service, due to an obligation to his former profession. Meanwhile, Danny is so outraged (due to Scott effectively driving on Danny's insurance) that he calls his insurance company and has the insurance policy cancelled effective the day after the challenge, meaning that Scott was no longer insured. As such, he is no longer permitted to drive in any future challenges.
When meeting with the experts, Scott says he needs to find a new "sucker friend" to insure him and act as nominator. He believes that if he drives safely for five years under someone else's insurance, he will then be able to afford his own, but is told that he will not be allowed to do so, and will only be permitted to continue on the show if he can pay for his insurance by himself. Scott admits that this is completely infeasible, as his history of driving offences means it would cost at least $1,200 per month to get his own policy; consequently, the experts tell him that effective immediately, he is expelled from rehab.
