TORONTO, Oct 4 /CNW/ - Last Fall - gripped by grinding gears, shocked by speeders, and offended by fender-benders - viewers nationwide left their cars in the driveway, stayed home and tuned in to CANADA'S WORST DRIVER. And now it's back… The #1-ranked Canadian series on specialty television*, CANADA'S WORST DRIVER, returns to Discovery Channel on Monday, October 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.  Buckle up! Season 6 promises to be the bumpiest ride yet! 

With a weekly reach of over four million viewers last Fall - and a landmark Season 5 finale drawing an audience in excess of one million viewers - the smash hit series returns with host Andrew Younghusband and features new drivers, new challenges and countless cringe-inducing and water cooler-worthy moments, plus exclusive online content at Worstdriver.ca. 

CANADA'S WORST DRIVER 6 follows eight disastrous drivers from across the country - each nominated by a friend, family member or colleague - as they are put through their paces in a controlled driving environment and evaluated by a panel of driving experts. Can their bad behind-the-wheel behaviours be curbed at Driver Rehab with expert coaching and a little cajoling? Week by week, one driver will earn the right to merge back onto Canada's roadways, until there is only one unlucky driver left at the side of the road, owning the dubious title of Canada's Worst Driver.

Since its debut in 2005, almost 50 drivers have undergone CANADA'S WORST DRIVER's unique brand of intensive rehab.  And yet, there is no shortage of delinquent drivers still terrorizing Canadian roadways! Host Younghusband is back with arguably the worst batch of drivers we've ever seen. Each episode through the eight-part series features some tried-and-tested challenges - and unique to Season 6, some "lessons from the racetrack" in speed performance fundamentals - to push the drivers to their limits and teach them crucial safe driving skills.
