The first challenge for these four is a redo of the raised concrete platform challenge from the previous episode (the drivers are required to drive on the platforms without the wheels of their vehicle falling off the platforms), but this time driven in reverse. Like last time, this challenge tests to see if the drivers know where the wheels of their car are. Frustration gets the better of the participants. The second challenge has the participants required to balance their stick shift vehicle on a gimbel. Success on this challenge surprises some of the participants. The third challenge is on an off-road course, driving a four-wheel drive truck. This challenge solely requires being calm. With the exception of Angelina who is the last participant to drive the course, each participant is required to teach the following participant the safety rules of completing the challenge successfully. The fourth and last challenge has the participants making a last minute swerve to avoid hitting an obstacle. After their deliberation, the panel of experts decide to graduate the person whose new-found calmness has made that person a safer driver. The decision is unanimous and made without hesitation.
