Anyone watch this show? It's the third round and I've always kind of wish I could go on just to do some of the stunts :chuckle.

I was shocked at this years participants. But I have a question. I understand how bad these drivers are and the need to crack down on these people. When are we going to start cracking down on the these so called driving schools for as bad instructors and then the ministry driving testers that give them their licenses?

Talking about Canadian drivers.. I was at the Niagara falls outlets in NY. I was sitting at an intersection in the plaza (stop signs). 9 in 10 Americans do a full stop, where as 1 in 10 Canadians make a full stop.

You can't get a ticket if you a run a stop sign in a plaza . Its private property :P


edit: or so I've heard.

I have watched the first season, parts of season two, and now the third season. It's always interesting to watch because of the all the stunts and challenging courses. The host: Andrew Younghusband makes the courses look so easy. But of course we all want to try them ourselves and see how we do.

It's true..

But the reason for coming to a full-stop at a stop-sign isn't to avoid getting a ticket. Rather, coming to a full-stop ensures safety (especially in a place as random/busy as a plaza).

That is true. Unless an accident happens where the law needs to be involved, it'll still be a disobeying sign or it's gov't enforced.

The funnier thing about it; as mentioned in an earlier message, the ministry has passed these people and given them a licence- "to kill". LOL!

Canada's Worst Driver 3 (http://www.canadasworstdriver.ca)

Little bit of shameless self promotion here, but I am glad someone else brought up the topic. I should have posted the site a few weeks ago when i finished it, but now will do. take the little quiz we made to test your driver knowledge!

Anyway, promotion aside, This years show is fantastic, we managed to rent out an entire town in northern ontario, so some of the upcoming episodes have some really great stuff in them.

Keep checking the site for updates, if you guys want to watch episodes you miss, or every tuesday we post bonus video from the night before, including cast commentary go to THIS URL (http://www.discoverychannel.ca/shows/videolist.aspx?sid=4096)

If you guys have any questions about the show or know anyone who should be on it next year, send me a PM and I will get you the info you need!

Cheers,

I'd like to request that Billie Jean to post a revealing shot of herself on our board?

Yeah, I was hoping they weren't going to let Billy go last week :p, but on a serious not would you or could you tell us what the cost is just for doing the stunts and do you have to pay the "judges"?

The production budget on this season is pretty large, I am not sure about the break downs, but I would presume the sets arent that expensive, most of the courses are lined with old tires, or rims, which can be obtained very cheaply from wreckers and junk yards. The major cost would be the manpower to cut out and paint all those styrofoam arches and people.

And I am guessing the judges get paid, as it took several weeks to film the season. The dollar amount I do not know.


And for Fang, When billie Jean either graduates or is named the worst driver, we will be posting a gallery of shots of her time on the show, so keep checking the site.
