''Canada's Worst Driver 7'' is the seventh season of the ''Canada's Worst Driver'' series, which airs on Discovery Channel. As with previous years, eight nominees, as nominated by their nominators, enter the Driver Rehabilitation Centre to improve their driving skills. This season makes a particular emphasis on the uniquely Canadian nature of driving, rather than having any driving-related motifs as in past years. The initial drive started in St. Catharines, Ontario, and the final road test occurred in Hamilton, Ontario this year. This season is the first to be broadcast in high definition, owing to the launch of the high-definition simulcast of Discovery Channel. As part of the promotion for this season, a special Monday edition of ''The Alan Nursall Experience'', a segment on ''Daily Planet'' (which normally airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays), takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Driver Rehabilitation Centre. == Contestants == *Lauri Bencharski, 37, from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, is an animal lover – but for her fiancé Shaun, her love of animals goes a bit too far: she regularly drives with her two dogs, a cat, and a bird, all of which he believes is too much of a distraction. She drives a Dodge Ram and a Chrysler Intrepid. *Aaron Cheshire, 30, from Calgary, Alberta, was once a victim of an accident that left him in a two-month coma six years ago. Though he has recovered, he was never the same since in terms of his skills on the road. His father, Lee Cheshire, hopes that the Driver Rehabilitation Centre will be the last step towards total recovery. He drives a Smart Fortwo. *Sly Grosjean, 40, from Lethbridge, Alberta (now lives in Red Deer, Alberta), is a technophile who never goes anywhere without his cell phone GPS; it is a necessity for his job as a deliveryman. His brother-in-law Fred Hillyer, however, believes that he is too reliant on new technologies – and can't otherwise drive without them. He had non-verbal learning disorder. He drives a Pontiac Grand Am. *Afiya Lassy, 25, from Montreal, Quebec, is out to prove her loved ones, including friend and nominator Cindy, wrong – those around her believe that she is a hazard on the road by running red lights and hogging the road; she begs to differ. She drives a Kia Rio. *Tab Parks, 39, from Calgary, Alberta, is a nervous wreck when she is uncomfortable behind the wheel. Her boyfriend, Matt, hopes that the Driver Rehabilitation Centre can help the former school bus driver conquer her fears. She drives an Acura EL. *Jon Parsons, 24, from Bowmanville, Ontario, has a cocky attitude – due to the adrenaline rush brought forth from driving. His girlfriend Elise believes that this can possibly come back to haunt him as they begin the next phase in their ongoing relationship. He drives a Chevrolet Corvette. *Ben Reiman, 36, from Surrey, British Columbia, and his wife, Jan, believes that driving is becoming a major point of contention to their relationship – so much so that they never drive together anymore. He drives a Hyundai Accent. *Shirley Sampson, 60, from Port Caledonia, Nova Scotia (on Cape Breton island) (now lives in Donkin, Nova Scotia), is comfortable driving around the small towns of rural Nova Scotia; she just merely detests driving into Halifax – where her daughter and nominator Janis Wall lives. She breaks down entirely on the highway, even going so far as to stop on the highway in place when she is confused. She drives a Kia Rio5. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada's Worst Driver 7」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
