However, Dale Pitton, who left the Centre after the most recent panel deliberation due to a torn tendon in her hand which prevents her from continuing in the challenges, will also be considered in the final deliberation, as the panel saw her actions leading to that hand injury as a desperate move not to be named Canada's Worst Driver Ever. Upon her departure, the panel urged her to give up her license and stop driving forever for her and the public's safety, which she seemed unwilling to do. The first challenge is a timed reverse in an enclosed space and reverse slalom, before the course is to be driven forward. One nominee kills the classic car used even before the other two get behind the wheel. Although they are taught proper reversing technique, none of the nominees seem to want to use that technique. Then they are to drive the mega challenge, which this year consists of a high speed eye of the needle slalom, an icy corner, a forward and reverse precision steering section which includes parking in an enclosed space, and a 180 degree reverse hand brake flick. The final challenge is a one hour drive along a pre-set route through the streets and highways of Hamilton. Regardless of the results of the first two challenges, the performances on the final challenge seemingly will determine who will receive the title, unless the Dale factor comes into play. The trophy ceremony ends up being one of the most acrimonious in the show's history. Written by Huggo See less
