The speed demons of the nominees are: Tina Cook, a belligerent driver who is unrepentant about her drinking and driving, believing everyone does it; Cameron Donavin, a distracted driver as he can't put his cell phone away when he's driving despite knowing that whatever he is doing on his phone is never an emergency; Jillian Matthews, a nervous driver who speeds if only to get off the road as quickly as possible in her nervousness; Alex Morrison, an extremely aggressive driver who will play chicken with slow moving vehicles and who will often drive with his knees while he does something else with his hands; Jordan Paddon, who is more concerned about personal grooming and personal hygiene tasks behind the wheel than he is about paying attention to what's happening on the road; and Polly Sergeant, who drives at widely variable speeds as she gets distracted with other things around her. The seventh nominee, Renee Boily has the opposite problem in that she drives so slowly as she is so nervous when there is any other traffic around, especially on the highway, that she will turn on her hazard lights to let cars pass, while she will often pull over the side of the road to deal with her nervous emotions. Nominated by his brother Shmuel Hoffman, the eighth nominee is Sholom Hoffman. The ninth and final nominee is Shmuel, who was in turn nominated by Sholom. The brothers are relatively new drivers whose inexperience shows. The nominees' first task is to do the approximate one hour drive on the predetermined route with their nominator in the back seat from - appropriate to this year's theme - Cayuga Dragway to the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre at Dunnville Airport, with Sholom and Shmuel taking turns on their joint drive. At the Centre, the nominees are then subjected to an assessment drive, consisting of a reversing section which includes both straightaways and slight curves, a tight maneuvering section through a concrete-barriered course, and a slalom which must be driven at 60kph. The nine then meet the expert panel for the first time, the panel who provide their initial thoughts. Written by Huggo See less
