Seven of those eight nominees and their primary driving problems are: Lauri Bencharski, who pays more attention to the menagerie of pets in her car than what's happening on the road; Sly Grosjean, who is addicted to using his smart phone while driving; Afiya Lassy, an aggressive driver who will do whatever it takes to get to where she's going without regard for others or traffic rules; Tab Parks, whose fragile nerves behind the wheel often results in her shaking and being in tears; Jon Parsons, an overconfident Corvette driver who often street races, especially against his Corvette driving father; Ben Reiman, who is constantly daydreaming while driving; and Shirley Sampson, an indecisive driver who often stops in the middle of the road when she doesn't know what to do. The panel of experts hope that they can provide as much guidance as they feel the eighth nominee will. He is Aaron Cheshire, who once was a confident driver until, in 2005, he was blindsided by a distracted driver, that accident which almost killed him and resulted in him being in a coma for two months. Remarkably, he never lost his driver's license even though he had to relearn how to drive after coming out of his coma. This appearance on the show is part of his physical and emotional recovery, where he hopes that he can once again become a good and confident driver. Given a set of directions, their first test with their nominator as their passenger is to drive individually from St. Catharines, Ontario to the Driver's Rehabilitation Centre at Dunnville Airport, approximately one hour in duration. On that drive, one is stopped by the show's producers, who feel that her driving is so unsafe that she needs instead to be driven to the Centre. The producers also wanted to stop another for unsafe driving, but were unable to do so. Once at the Centre, the eight are given a driving assessment test consisting of reversing through a snaking and barriered course and doing a slalom of at least 50 kph. They will be driving a specially painted 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T, the paint job in part to inspire a sense of respect for the car. It doesn't work as witnessed by what the nominees do to the car. When the nominees are placed in front of the experts for the first time, some do admit their driving faults - one who admits that this day could be the worst in her entire life - while others are in total denial about being a bad driver, they only agreeing to appear on the show to prove the world wrong.
