comment "driver i hardly know her" if ur reading this
#kurtisconner - Komedie
You don’t live in Canada
i don't either wow
i second that
Me too
Canada is a myth
yeah and his name is curtis not kurtis he's fooling us all
“You’re probably the worst driver we’ve ever had here. The way you drive can only be described as the driving of a horrible person”
-Andrew YoungGangster
haha yes
@@kimberlyalexadra3666 What in Mcgenuine super fine Kentucky fried fuck
But does Kurtis know he was named after the lizard from Spider-man?
Yeah way to spoil the season in the first episode Andrew
Jesus loves you, praying over
everyone
everyone involved in this show should be immediately arrested
Ikr! 20 hit and runs fuck that guy
i just feel kinda bad for the 2 girls who have panic attacks and that their reason theyre bad drivers, but i havent watched the show so i wouldnt know how bad they are lol
except for mike
Oh yes and Mike! Him and the 2 girls with panic attacks should be so disrespected
@@luciferislucid i dont think disrespected is the word you were lookin for mate. i agree with u tho lmao
I love how when Daniella was having a panic attack while driving, the instructor was so confused she said “Just drive!” 💀
just get rid of your anxiety!! drive!!!! it's not that hard!!!!!!!!!!
"Just stop worrying"
Big "Why are you depressed? Just be happy" energy
"You're anxious? Just stop it then 😁😁"
I remember Krystal. She was so dangerous and addicted to her phone while driving . Andrew tried taking her phone away she'd throw fits, she verbally abused everyone, including her brother, and thought she was better than she was. I think her till for accidents before coming to the show was double digits
I'm pretty sure, not just Andrew, but an instructor, walked out on her
1) how the hell did she still have a license after that many collisions?
2) also, those weren't accidents, they were predictable results of reckless, sociopathic driving. Slipping on a banana peel is an accident.
Tyler claiming he needs a few beers to be calm enough to drive means he should go to actual rehab bc he's an alcoholic. Like bro. Holy shit.
He needs rehab AND therapy* Not only does he have such bad (what I assume is anxiety from the symptoms) that he can’t even operate a car, and now he’s drowning his sorrows to function, that’s like pouring water onto a grease fire
I have the same anxiety about cars and it sucks, I would never drink and drive, but I wish I could function enough to just get my license and even be able to practice driving for it, but I can't
@@orbeezeater yes absolutely agree, he also needs therapy to help learn healthy coping skills. I'm not going to give him any shit for having addiction issues because that's not his fault but to think it's okay to drive under the influence and put himself and especially others in danger is not okay and he needs help to fix that. You can't be a 'better driver' under the influence. Definitely not acceptable. I hope he's doing better though.
He’s obviously having severe withdrawal. That man should not be driving at all.
@@alexmackrell1385 I had severe anxiety about driving for a long time, but it got better for me and I just got my license at the age of 26. I feel like the trick is super short drives at first.
I can't help but laugh at Krystal, because all I see is Velma struggling to drive
LITERALLY
I was looking for this
Jinkies
I'm so happy someone finally said this I was looking for a comment if anyone saw Velma too 😭
the fat version of velma
In one season of the dutch version of this show, one of the contestants lost control of the wheel during some kind of test and actually hit the host, who then had to go to the hospital. Shock and surprise, that contestant went on to 'win' the season
Idk the details but as a host I'd keep quite a distance from cars that contestants are in
The host actually was quite a distance away...
At least in the Dutch version you actually loose your license.
I really appreciate Kurtis for defending the girl whom has panic attack whilst driving. I lost my mothers in a car accident and had my leg amputated and react the exact same whenever I get near a car, thanks my stabby lil fella
Damn man are you doing fine now?
@@TheSpot22 im doing better, just kinda struggling. ty for asking
@@EmiMartinezOfficial Glad to hear that!!! You're really strong man
I used to love this show as a kid when I thought "just be a better driver" was the answer, but its obvious that a lot these contestants just need therapy and long-term support. So many "reality shows" have interesting ideas, but they just can't help but exploit people who are actually struggling and putting them on display for everyone else to laugh at
yes, krystal actually has bpd and is now a mental health advocate.
Thank you for this Cory D
For real, I have extreme driving anxiety for some reason and I can't imagine having to display my panic attacks for the world :/
I remember watching this show! I grew up in Alberta, and so many 'winners' came from Alberta, which wasn't too surprising to me. I too felt like this show was a bit exploitative. There was an 'All Star' season and there was this one girl, Angelina I think was her name? Anyways, she was clearly struggling with some mental health issues. They did eventually let her leave the show and helped her get into therapy. But they definitely didn't fail to use her for laughs before that came to a head.
Crystal needed her license revoked that bitch was an actual sociopath... She was putting other peoples lives at risk ant turned it into people being mean to her for telling her to stop.
Kurtis on living in Canada: "I love it. I mean, it's fine."
The most Canadian sentiment ever
Fr, I’m canadian and it’s just fine. It’s not good or bad, just fine.
Kurtis is really funny for a Canadian..
Canada is the best country no joke fvck America
@@internal.rage. ...Whoa!.. Please lets not say anything we can't take back.....
@@internal.rage. LMAO
I am not fully convinced the psychic lady was real. “I can’t drive because I’m too busy telling the future” is the most cartoonishly absurd excuse I have ever heard in my life lmaoooo
yeah I was fairly certain she was a plant from the moment I saw the staff. Shows like this will frequently add a "character" behind the scenes to add extra drama in case the actual contestants don't provide enough content
The panic attack thing hit me SO hard. I actually don't have a license yet because of my anxiety, and I don't think it should be so normal and necessary to have a license to the point that people like me and Danielle would be forced to get one.
It's actually so commendable that she purposefully sought out a job she can do at home so that she has to drive as little as possible. She shouldn't have been put on a show like this to "get over her fear", because - apart from the obvious danger - the pressure is not gonna make it ANY better!
I myself live in a country with pretty good public transport, and over time my anxiety has gotten better so that I might go to driving school soon.
i totally feel you! i delayed getting my license for years due to anxiety attacks similar to Danielle. but i got really good at navigating public transport to get to school and work, which definitely helped me improve my overall anxiety resilience ❤ i’m glad your country has good infrastructure for it! get your license when you feel ready, if ever. there’s too many cars out there as is… and unfortunately there will always be Krystals out here driving recklessly and making me white-knuckle the wheel lmao
Good luck if you eventually try to get a licence!
i used to have really bad driving anxiety and when i decided i wanted to get my license i did drivers ed first. i don’t know what country you’re in or if you have drivers ed but it might be worth looking into it can help with your confidence driving. also remember that there is no set age you’re “supposed to” get your license at, take as much time as you need :)
@@jetbolster driving ed is actually mandatory here! but if it went really really wrong, they could technically list me as "a danger to themselves and others" (when driving) and forbid me from getting my license at all
How did Kurtis say “driver” without saying a “I barely know her” joke, who is this man impersonating Kurtis.
for sure. also um hi to you too suzan
At least we got the fashion pun
don't worry, he put it in the description. tis truly our Mayor Kurtis!
Not to mention the lack of an extra greeting
@@moomoomrcow8484 he doesn’t do those anymore
“socialism is when no car” beautifully said kurtis, beautifully said.
socialisn is also when no house.
lol i feel like he has to know the hasan memes
@@mikusheadphones kurtis talked about Hasan’s house controversy on his podcast I think
Indeed
Socialism is when have 1950s American car.
as a sociology student i can confirm
kurtis yelling "andrew younghusband" whenever andrew does something stupid like a mother scolding her child 😭😭
7:48 if you’re so nervous about driving that you have to drink first, it might be a good idea to just stop driving. And go to therapy
and probably actual rehab for the alcohol
Even with her glasses, Velma still drives recklessly
I knew someone had to have said it.
Yes
I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE THOUGHT THIS
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z did you seriously had to say she was fat ?
Man I can't believe she didn't think of it when she chose her clothes before going on TV lol
The rest of the world: wow Canadians are so polite and great people!
Tyler: 20 hit and runs in a year, and drinking and driving
When being polite goes too far!
The only people who say Canadians are polite and great are the ones who have never lived here.
Source: I'm Canadian, hey how are ya.
-Canadians are polite-
*majority of* Canadians are polite
im american and i think canadians pride themselves too much in other people thinking theyre polite so i dont think theyre polite people /hj (edit: most of yall are great people dont take this too seriously)
@@LadyDecember americans are always like "wow you're canadian, everyone's so polite up there!" but then whenever i go home i get followed in stores lol
Krystal crying because no one wants to get in the car with her reminds me of a certain family member of mine who’s driving literally traumatized me for years. Over 8 wrecks in the first year of driving with me as passenger😂😂
It’s no wonder I waited til my 20s to get my license.
Kurtis: making fun of Alberta
My sister: *"Well atleast I don't have an uneven moustache"*
the nerve to voluntarily go on a show called “worst driver” and then cry when you’re told you’re a bad driver
Evidently she has severe borderline personality disorder and has spoken out about it since the show. She has gotten real help and talked about how even though mental health is not an excuse for bad driving, it defintely contributed to her recklessness. To clarify though, I don't think that mental health is an excuse for being an asshole to everyone else on the show.
@@anahand4137 not bipolar disorder.
She has borderline personality disorder.
@@jeltje50 Thank you! I saw another comment that had used them interchangeably and I wasn't sure which one it actually was.
@@anahand4137 so u just spread hearsay although ur not sure if it’s correct? 🤨
@@growing.flowers The point of my reply was to explain that mental health was a large component in her behavior and that although she has developed as a person, a mental health disorder does not excuse hurting other people. I included the wrong disorder in my response and I apologize for that. The intended message of my original comment still stands.
Kurtis left out so much of just how bad Krystal was. She was verbally abusing literally everyone on set, her own brother left out of embarrassment, the host even left the car because she wouldn't stop screaming at him.
she seems like the type of person that would blame the consequences of her own actions on stuff like horoscopes and undiagnosed illnesses
I appreciate this comment because I definitely thought the drunk driver was more selfish and stupid than Krystal! She's not a good driver at all but it feels like he was piling on her.
CWD was probably my favourite reality show. Kurtis also left out the part about how they actually helped her get a mental health diagnosis and some counselling to get to the root of her issues. I disagree pretty strongly with him that they don't care about the contestants or their safety. If you watch a full season you get to see that the whole point of the driver rehab is to get people safe and comfortable on the road for their sake and for everyone else on the road as well, and if they don't feel like they can achieve that, they either have them admit they don't want to drive and make alternate plans, or they don't even give their licenses back sometimes. I've used some of their techniques (swerve and avoid, icy corner, etc.) in real life, the show was practical and not as sensationalized as he made it out to be. "I don't understand, like, why anybody would agree to go on this show." Honestly, because like you said Kurtis, we're desensitized to driving. It can literally be life or death to be a poor driver to a certain degree, and this show genuinely helped people to become better as they graduated.
i love how you can tell her favorite way to manipulate is just start crying 😂😂😂
And the worst part is that she thought her wreck less driving was funny and acceptable behavior because she would laugh, argue she was in the right, or cry to avoid taking responsibility.
10:05 as someone who got a concussion from GO KARTING and doesn’t wanna drive thank you for this.
I sincerely hoped when they introduced Krystal as "terrifying" that she was totally normal compared to the rest of the drivers, because that would have been way more hilarious.
"There's Amrinder, who loves speeding."
Amrinder: "I love speeding!"
I love how happy he is XD
I laughed so hard at that part
“I love speeding :D”
I love refrigerators
yall cannot tell me he didnt speak in tiny when he said that😭
To the people dismissing Krystal’s mistakes due to her BPD, shitty driving isn’t a symptoms of BOD friends. She’s just a selfish driver that happens to have BPD.
Honestly it’s heartbreaking how badly people portray BPD… my ex was certain that I couldn’t have BPD because the ones he saw in medschool were threatening their loved ones with knives… Those are only a small fraction of the BPD community.
Ong. My partner has BPD and just got their license. Not because they're a bad driver but because they had major anxiety behind the wheel. Now, they are super careful and try everything to be safe.
Krystal is just a bad driver. BPD ain't got nothing to do with it.
literally!! as someone else w/ bpd, it's incredibly illogical to blame something like that on bpd.
yeah and on top of that, mental illness is NOT an excuse to put peoples LIVES IN DANGER! she could kill someone driving like that and she doesn't even care. even if her BPD was an excuse, she still shouldn't be allowed to have a license. there are plenty of disorders that genuinely do make it dangerous to drive, and people with those disorders are not allowed to drive for that reason. her whole attitude just made me so mad 😭😭😭
I have BPD myself and got my license at 29. Took me months to build up the courage to even go the standard "10 above the limit" everyone follows where I am. I'm constantly terrified I'm being a bad driver.
Krystal straight up looks like Velma and she's giving Velma a bad name
Wow, maybe I'm just tired cuz my insomnia's acting up and I'm watching this at 4 in the morning right now, but when they introduced the first guy's wife I legit thought she said his worse habit than the hit and runs was "jerking and driving" so I was thinking, "Holy shit, this dude jerks it while he's driving? No wonder he ends up getting into so many accidents." And the shocked look the host was giving made me think even more that's what she said, especially when he said, "For real?!" But then he looked at Tyler and said "You drink and drive?!" and I died laughing because I misheard that so bad, but to be fair you have to admit it really would've still made sense if it actually had been "jerking and driving" 😂
imagine lmao 💀
The little smirk that Crystal had as she said “I’ll get off of the sidewalk” makes me believe she actually could be a bad person.
she reminds me of a lot of toxic people I used to be friends with..and definitely seems like the type to cry to get out of situations. I don’t like her from what I’ve seen of her LMAO
Either that or it was scripted I'm not sure which way it goes 🤷
@@tarettime9392 nah she really is like that. One of the contestants from that season came out and said that these people are real and she really was that toxic
Edit: the contestant's name is Lou Valcourt and she made a series of CZcams vids reacting to each episode of her season on the show
Or, you know, the fact that she drove on the sidewalk.
She’s like a sociopath I used to work with. She did no work while texting. I politely confronted her ONCE and she went to my manager and gossiped to the other coworkers to make me out to be a “bully” meanwhile she made fun of me during a meeting for having Aspergers. I cried for real and she immediately saw my manager have some sympathy for me . . She didn’t like not being the center of attention for two seconds . Then she fake cried right after and interrupted me several times. Yeah, I am very aware of sociopaths. They have to be the most popular center of attention all the time.
the funny thing about the shoemaker joke is that’s exactly how a lot of last names came to be , they’re called occupational surnames. For instance John the baker became John baker, Jack the blacksmith became Jack Smith, and Frodo the hunter became Frodo Hunter. Other occupational lastnames are Walker, Cook, Baxter(or Bakster which was the name for a women baker), and carpenter. There are also names that end in “son” that literally just mean “son of ____” (johnson, erikson, peterson, carlson)
Ok its finally Here

Ooh, did not know about Bakster/Baxter! Cool info!
This is both dumb and interesting
John Hancock?
I've always liked how Baxter sounds, now I like it more cause I know what it means.
seeing daniella made me feel better about my own driving experience because before i learned how to drive i was genuinely terrified of it and when id try to practice driving i felt like i was seconds away from freaking out. thankfully i was able to learn from my aunt (a very good teacher) and in a state that doesnt get much traffic at all, so i was able to work through those nerves without worrying about other people on the road. i hope she gets help like i did, its tough being scared of driving
Velma drove the mystery machine into a orphanage
I would never end up on Canada's Worst Driver because I am Canada's Best Delivery Driver. Apologies to other canadian delivery drivers, I'm sure your driving skills are very good aswell.

Someone once said that Canadians are Canadian everywhere except for on the road and in the rink. Maybe the road extends to conversation about the road

@@fart63 hockey
When i was learning to drive my mom worked at the law firm that prosecuted the traffic violations for my county and like 4 surrounding ones, and her boss specialized in DUIs. Being told about the DUI where a drunk guy caused a hit and run like 3 miles from your house at 9 in the morning before being told "alright Kes let's go practice driving". It was uh. It was a lot
Wait till kurtis figured out that that is how last names are actually originally made… being made up from location, events, characteristics and family associations, trade, fathers name, and physical features
I had a teacher whose last name is Malacarne, which means “bad meat” in Italian! Like… bruh, what did your ancestor _do?!_ 🤣
It really bothers me that ‘I drink and drive’ is portrayed a weird, almost-neutral quirk and not a serious and selfish crime. Prison time for drunk drivers. There’s never an excuse.
Are you talking about tyler? They did kinda make it his thing which was strange, but it definitely wasn’t neutral. They explained multiple times how many people on the show have been personally affected by drunk drivers.
Literally just dodge it
Only drink when stopped at traffic lights, problem solved.
I don't think it was portrayed like that. The host seemed pretty shocked when he heard it...
Yeah literally one of the most irresponsible selfish and dangerous things you can do. If you can't drive without being drunk to "calm your nerves" then you shouldn't fucking drive. Imagine being like a crane operator or any kind of job requiring you to operate heavy machinery and u tell ur boss u can't work unless you're a lil drunk first. Wtf
Can we talk about how he said ‘20 hit and runs in the LAST YEAR’ implying that he’s had more through out the other years
Wait, really?! I thought it couldn't get worse
And he's still on the f**king road!!
he drives drunk. HE DRIVES DRUNK. is he still alive? has he killed someone??
I had to watch and episode for my english class (s6e1 i think) and one of the drivers said she had hit about 900 cars since she started driving 30+ years prior. NINE HUNDRED! And she said she gets into more than one hit per week, and that doesn't even count the hits she didn't realize had happened. Worst part was her husband paid for all the tickets and reparations...and he used to be a driving instructor.
@@biancalavigne9130 bruh I need to move to Canada apparently you get INFINITE mistakes forgiven wtfff I'm afraid of one parking ticket they are literally getting away with killing sprees 😭
3:52 Actually something like that happened a lot in Soviet Union after WW2. That's why we have a lot of people with surename "Nepomnyashiy" (literraly means "the one who don't remember"). Because a lot of people lost their memory after some injuries but they still needed surename. "-What's you surename? -I don't remember -Perfect! You are The-one-who-don't-remember now!"
I have a severe anxiety disorder, and I didn't get my license til 27. It was a nuisance in a lot of ways, but Im so glad I waited. Therapy & meds were life-changing for me. I really feel for Daniella, Id be like that, too. Hopefully she's doing better these days. ❤
I’m glad you’re getting better, I have a panic disorder so learning to drive is hell, you know? Plus I live in a small town so one follows traffic laws but barely any sidewalks here so walking isn’t usually a option
1. Discovering that Crystal is a fellow Albertan is the worst news I’ve heard all day
2. I can’t believe you didn’t talk about the old lady that was soo bad, they sent her home partway through, wouldn’t give her license back and contacted the government so her drivers license was permanently removed. You can only imagine how bad she was if they went that far for her but not anyone else
omg im albertan too. i hate it here. worst province
not surprising thoo
Uhh whats her name? Need to find content of this

But does Kurtis know he was named after the lizard from spider-man?
I feel the need to point out that basically every episode Krystal would say that she should graduate (aka that she should get to go home) and every time the judges would immediately shut her down because OBVIOUSLY NO
It’s wild how this show was half people with legit anxiety and learning problems, and the other half is just absolute monsters.
when kurtis went on the tangent about how society shouldn’t rely on cars and focus more on walkable urbanism and efficient transit i thought i was watching a not just bikes video for a sec. but he’s so right we really do live in a society
Yes definitely a society. A society on a planet in a solar system located in a galaxy called milky way which is part of the local group (it is a cluster of galaxies). The local group is located inside a supercluster called the virgo supercluster (which is a cluster of clusters of galaxies). The supercluster is located in the universe. Nothing is bigger than the universe. 🤠🤠 yee yee
We do in fact live in a society.
@TechaTried lol i had just learned that in my astronomy class so yeah hahah.
omg a fellow urban planning nerd among us!!!!
bruh i was stuck in deep thought thinking about what he said for a bit
Remembering 2017 when during the filming of "the worst driver of the Netherlands" an contestant hit the host of the show and a cameraman. Great times.
worst driver in the netherlands is the best driver in the us
In sweden program we have a driver thought that if the was two speed signs the speed should be dubble.
let's not forget though, that did happen on a parking lot i believe instead of on the highway! in the netherlands they do most of this stuff on the parking lot, not immediately highway
I need this show
I am very surprised that the guy with all the hit and runs didn't hit the host. He was standing RIGHT THERE
We need Americas worst driver and 90% of contestents are floridians
this is my favorite kurtis conner video. i love it so much. i’ve watched this video for background noise any chance i get, ANY chance, i even fall asleep to that. i am getting to the point that i am starting to memorize the script. i have found myself repeating the words to this video out of nowhere. someone please save me
???
Go touch some grass
I do this with songs
Update on Krystal: After being on the show she found treatment for her mental health issues and was diagnosed with Borderline, which was a contributing factor to her driving habits. After receiving the diagnosis and working through things she completed an interview where she claimed to have improved in her driving. So there’s a happy ending.
Hope her behaviour improved as well for her and the people around her

as a shoemaker i still think about the last name bit at least once a week. in school kids would ask if i could make them shoes as well as stare at me anytime a history book said shoemaker in it. the first ever time i watched this video i was caught so off guard when he said my last name bc other than my family i’ve never met another shoemaker so i was so surprised he mentioned it.
It’s a pretty common last name, it’s come from ur ancestors being cobblers “shoe maker”
When I was 16 and getting my license I had to practice drive on the highway. I distinctly remember beginning to merge and just feeling so terrified and overwhelmed, and I began to have a panic attack and because my parents had to be in the car they told me to just drive and suck it up. I had to pull into a rest stop to calm down and breathe because I felt too close to the other cars/going off the road and I couldn’t see from my tears and I was anxious that someone was going to crash into me and my parents were watching my every move. I love driving now but it was honestly so stressful and just difficult to do during that period in my life, and I had several other incidents throughout and they all really stemmed/occurred when my parents were there.
I was really curious so I googled where Krystal is now. Turns out she has undiagnosed BPD, and once she got proper treatment for it, and realised what the issues were, she did legitimately improve. She was ashamed of her behaviour back then, but sees it as a wakeup call.
good for her
That is so reassuring. Her behavior then starts looking like a BPD high. Glad she got help

When he said “at all” i got a burger king ad that made it sound like he was saying
“at BK HAVE IT UR WAY 🔥🔥🔥” 😭
I’m rewatching this and right after the rant about accessible public transport and how driving shouldn’t be a necessity, I got an ad that started with “you drive to work” 😂
If I had a nickel for every time a Canadian says how amazing Canada is and then instantly say it’s fine, I could buy a few bags of milk at least.
How do these people not get arrested after admitting to crimes like hit and runs, and driving under the influence??
Fr like the evidence is right there
It very may well be true but if they just say they were told to say it by producers nothing can be proved. Unless they give an intersection and date lol. Like saying you did 20 hit and runs in a year. How would your car function like a car if every year you run into like 20 things? Lotta this stuff is faked and a lot just can’t be proven.
@@PetSymmetry a hit and run isn't necessarily slamming a car. He could have just dented bumpers, knocked a mirror off, scraped the side. A car would easily still function like a car outside of a bigger collision.
@@-8h- I get that, but if we’re to believe this dude is so fucking bad at driving that he collides with 20 things a year, I’m assuming he’s not just having little close calls like that. Again, probably faked anyways because people will say anything on these shows.
I've long suspected the show might have a deal with law enforcement to allow the contestants to be honest about their past crimes without fear of getting like arrested for this stuff. There's also the matter of proving which specific crimes they committed when and stuff. I know mostly they don't see consequences but sometimes Cam does call up his buddies on the force in these peoples' hometowns to let them know about them for particularly dangerous drivers.
this video in general was *chefs kiss* but thank you for specifically talking about how real and valid driving anxiety is. the amount of times people have been like "so what? its so easy are you dumb!" when i literally get so panicked i would be endangering others is insane
I've already cried on the road twice and I am 15 :D dw very desolated road. And hey im doing great it's just very stressful, my older sibling took 2 years to start driving lesson(from when they were eligible) kinda wish I took some sort of break too it was and is terrifying, I just know I'm going to cry when I get told I gotta go on a highway/busy road we have been in my neighborhood and a desolate old road(dead end too) downtown so far. But HEY I know what scares me now it's not knowing what to is gonna happen I think I will be calm if I watch someone drive where I'm going to drive before I do, but then again mom probably won't wanna cuz it will take awhile to drive there and back :/
I know that feeling too, especially when anyone instructing you, whether it's especially my dad or a licensed instructor, will start being aggressive whenever I make any LITTLE mistake. Most notably, my dad agreed to let me drive for the first time with him. I'm making a turn coming out from a residential street to the main road, but I was a bit slow. He says go, but as I started to slowly increase speed at the turn he starts hurrying me like "go, GO GO!" And from that, I nearly crashed into a tree. The pure anxiety from that is scary. From there, I acted HELLA more confident on the road, like the really comfortable cocky type of confidence. I only act it because if I don't, I'm afraid I would involuntarily and constantly make mistakes, and the fear of the backlash I've gotten before will break me. My sister has it exceedingly worse in that she's unable to drive without extreme anxiety. Runs in the family, I guess. Still don't have licenses, me at 21, her at 28.
I'm sorry you have had awful people invalidating your fears and anxiety :(
I didn't get my license at 16 because I kept crying at the wheel. Luckily my parents, siblings and friends never pressured me or made fun of me for it. I stay in big cities and use public transit. At 30 now I'm getting my licence at my own pace and it's going much more smoothly. Aiming to get my full license in the spring! 🤞 I appreciated Kurtis mentioning that driving anxiety is real and valid too~
same! ppl didn’t understand why i didn’t go and get my L’s as soon as i turned 16 but the thought of being on the road freaked me the hell out. after a month i felt so pressured to get my L’s from family and friends that i did (and passed) the required theory test. but now whenever dad says “let’s do some practice driving” i freak out so much behind the wheel and am only willing to drive around my driveway. ty for commenting this bc it is nice to know there r other ppl who feel/have felt the same way
Honestly. I still get anxious on busy roads
I detested learning to drive and was petrified. I didn't get my license until I was 23. Then over time I was like "this is it?" It's crazy how things can change with exposure.

In Brazil there was a version of this show where the worst driver actually got their license revoked. The first one to leave (best worst, i guess) got something, but i can't remember correctly what
I don't live in Canada but I watched this everyday before school with my siblings. The overall worst driver was a guy named Kevin who was super blind.
Where do you live? I'm surprised to hear this aired anywhere outside of Canada.
I remember Kevin. That was kind of just sad
The lack of empathy in drivers is a real problem. In Georgia, you have to make eye contact with oncoming drivers when you're on the crosswalk, because they won't stop unless they're forced to reconcile acknowledging your humanity. Not a joke. One time I was on crutches and the driver didn't stop until I stared him in the eye.
Damn, that crazy and I am from Florida

Can confirm, no one will let you cross until you somehow guilt them into letting you live...at this point when I cross I stare down every single car, and give extra dirty glaces to the cars that do that fun thing where they drive over the crosswalk but stop midway through so you have to go into the road and off the crosswalk itself.

neuroscience = socialism? 🤔
I was born in socialism. Nearly everyone had cars, and this was 70s, 80s, 90s. Then we fucked up all the cars while "switching" to capitalism. Now no jobs, no cars, mass exodus. I'm not neuroscience though. Just civil engineering/surveying.

That’s good to hear! Glad she realized her wrongs and fixed them.

@@dandylee8525 Not really sure how that works lol, everyone with BPD is similar in some sort of way. But like all people with or without the same disorders, everyone is unique.
@@nomoretwitterhandles they were making a joke that both them and Krystal have bpd !
wait fr??
I’ve seen a couple people mentioning that after the show crystal got help for her now diagnosed BPD and as that was a main contributor to her horrible driving she has since bettered her driving.
.
I would just like to say as someone with BPD I definitely don’t drive on sidewalks or text and drive because of my personality disorder. That’s stupid to blame bad driving on a personality disorder. The only thing getting help for BPD would have done is maybe make her not burst into tears and scream at her passengers. BPD has nothing to do with someone’s driving skills.
This doesn't come from a place of experience, I'm just thinking it would make her drive very aggressively like we saw. But I'm not sure about the sidewalk part...
THANK YOU. her mental illness doesn't justify her being an awful person
@@goatsnguns211 exactly. BPD mostly would have effected her emotions, made her more of an aggressive driver and such. But it wouldn’t just straight up make her text and drive, or decide to go off road and drive on a sidewalk.
I can only maybe just maybe understand speeding if she was being aggressive on the road or something, but BPD isn’t just gonna make you go pedal to the metal and drive like every road and sidewalk is your personal highway. That’s stupid.
And supposedly, another star on the show came out to say she lied
@@clownrat5759 dang I didn’t even know that. But I wouldn’t doubt it. A lot of peoples first responses to being called out for their actions, is a mental illness or the fact that they were young.
I'm not canadian but my dad is and I was 13 when I found out that a tuque was called a beanie in the states. I always thought of beanies as those hats with little propellers on them 😅😅
Schoemaker is also a pretty common name in The Netherlands. Having your occupation as last name was very common here as well, Hunter, Smith etc also where you live (citynames).
as someone who's life was drastically changed by a car accident, the message to be safe is SO important. i think a lot of people don't actually realize what a big responsibility it is to get behind the wheel. you're taking everyone else's life into your own hands! drive safe everyone :)
And that thing about how big a responsibility it is, is why I wish my dad wouldn't be so insistent on me learning to drive. I KNOW I would not be able to fulfill that responsibility. Not because I'm a bad person. I literally just wouldn't realize I'm being irresponsible. I have ADHD lol. I can't even pay attention to a CZcams video that I chose to watch (I went to the comments before even watching,) or remember what tabs I have open. How am I going to keep track of where the cars are going, where I'm going, the speed limit, stop signs, turn signals, my mirrors, and even more. He was explaining it to me just earlier and even while listening I felt confused and overwhelmed, and as he was getting to the climax of the importance of paying attention, I YELLED DOG. Because I saw a random dog. In a random car. And had started ignoring him. On accident.
Not to mention I have anxiety which would not be helping me every time I force myself to risk my life and everyone else's around me as I drive a giant, lethal vehicle. Choking and vomitting while on the road is not productive for attention span OR even being able to see.
Yeah, dad, I'd totally be a great driver. Sure.
Pft, I probably wouldn't even be able to focus on the lessons and I'd forget all the rules before even being able to worry about following them. I couldn't focus on school either.
@@catpoke9557 I also had a lot of anxiety connected to driving (no ADHD though), only got my license when I was 24. I got to it because I decided that knowing how to drive doesn't mean that I have to do it all the time. On the other hand, situations might arise when your ability to drive becomes detrimental.
@@catpoke9557 good for you for realizing that. if you really don't feel comfortable driving there are totally ways to avoid it for the rest of your life (friends, ridesharing, etc.). it doesn't make sense to force someone to drive when they don't feel comfortable, that's how accidents happen.
Yes!! thank you (:
@@catpoke9557 my boyfriend has ADHD and can't drive an automatic transmission. I know it's harder to learn, but have you tried driving a manual? He feels like he has way more interaction and things to keep his focus
As someone who quit driving due to panic attacks, hearing someone say it’s not crazy is nice. Thanks Curtis.
Bro no worries, it's way more common than you think. My dad can't drive long roads because of panic too. Same with my grandma
Dude absolutely nothing wrong with not driving due to panic attacks, it's safer for yourself and other people.
Driving is scary so I don’t blame you. If I had a choice to not drive, I would, but unfortunately where I live, there is no good public transportation
that is a 100% reasonable reason to not drive. panic attacks are disabling and it's absolutely not worth the risk. i wish public transportation was more accessible
Honestly I've been trying to tell my dad this. I tell him "I can't do (x) because it would make me too panicked and I could put other people in danger." He tells me "if you get so easily panicked you should never do (x), you could put people in danger." And I'm like,, "Yeah, I,,, literally just said that???"
Krystal ended up getting diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and sought mental health treatmwnt and got official driving classes (which she had never had before). She gave a quote after this:
"I'm not saying that borderline personality disorder is an excuse to drive like an a--hole but it's a large part of why I drove like that. But now I know better and I can do better."
She said that the show was a harsh reality check, and pushed her to get help.
i really enjoyed this show and it helped improve my confidence as a driver as well just watching them
you do have untrainables like krystal, but the majority of drivers had issues with either recklessness or anxiety, and having dedicated drills and coaching for a short period of time probably did greatly help them, even if it was hammed up for TV
“I have to drink a couple beers to calm my nerves before driving.” So. Let me get this straight. You experience high levels of anxiety that make it difficult difficult for you to drive. And to solve this problem, instead of trying any combination of the following: going to your doctor/a psychiatrist to get anxiety medication prescribed, seeing a therapist to work on strategies for managing anxiety, looking up meditations and/or breathing exercises you could do before driving, putting on calming music or an audiobook/podcast while you drive, and taking public transportation when possible, you just went “Ah yes. Alcohol. That’ll fix it.” *How the fuck did you ever get your license???*
Unfortunately you would be surprised by how many Midwest macho men who use alcohol to self treat anxiety because they can admit they have it, just not to a fucking doctor
But I agree, anxiety meds are the Truth and the Way (for me at least)
Edit-- and the local classical radio station saves my life lol, you've got good tips dude
Fr, I had anxiety issues when I learned how to drive because driving in a lot of traffic made me feel immense pressure. Sometimes the nerves got to me and I made dumb mistakes. However, I got help to manage my anxiety and also learning techniques to make my driving safer and calmer in difficult situations which not only made me less anxious but also more confident.
It's scary to see grown adults completely ignore the issue while also making themselves more dangerous to the people around them. Not just for anxiety but for any other issues that could affect other people
Honestly I get the feeling of anxiety. I haven't gotten a license yet but for everyone sake, I'm not planning to. The thought of driving scares me shit less and I might zone out or accidentally panic and hit something if I drive
@@adrenalineactivate
You are extremely smart to have such self awareness. Wish more ppl did. I never drive when in pain or anxiety/panic attack... coz I couldn't live if I hurt someone.
Substance abuse and alcoholism isn't rational; it's a mental illness.

@@CL0WNP4RTY uh I don't think they meant the mental illness, just the behavior. It's pretty common to use psychopathic to mean abnormal.

Obviously noone's gonna think that the person is a clinical psychopath by reading that comment. You need to calm down.
@@stellasoleclark5586 Then don't fucking use the word
@@Ellie-bj2uw why not? It's valid in that context. Psychopathic is synonymous with abnormal behavior. You can't control other people from using words just because the misuse of the other meaning triggers you. Where I live, we pretty much never mean the clinical meaning.

"Haha"
Is there any connection to actual psychopaths? Does the first person actually believe the second person is one? No.
@@stellasoleclark5586 Because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't trigger me but you should not misuse terms or normalize their uses in such casual contexts.

certain terms do not belong in certain contexts.
I really sympathize with the contestants who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I have autism (as well as other disorders) and I’m genuinely incapable of driving, but nobody believes me when I tell them that I can’t drive and my family has forced me to drive anyway despite being a danger to myself and others on the road. Unfortunately I live in an area with absolutely no public transportation and it’s impossible to walk anywhere, and being 18 and having everyone drive you around is quite embarrassing. I wish that people would understand that, like you said, nobody HAS to drive and some of us need mental help. If only there was more public transportation for us :/
yo same!! im also autistic and have really bad fear of roads in general (i've had reoccuring nightmares about being forced to drive for years & i have panic attacks when i think abt having to drive anything), and people don't understand why i don't want to drive, because i don't trust myself to be able to be safe on the roads. & i totally feel the same, being 18 and having to get yr parents to drive you places fucking sucks!! so many people view not learning to drive as "immature" or "lazy" but our society be set up so that if you cant drive your quality of life suffers. i dont have a drivers license, which means i dont have an ID (im working on getting one) so theres shit i cant do because society just assumes that every person over 16 has a drivers license. we desperately need to normalize not driving and better public transport, for disabled + neurodivergent people as well as people who can't afford a car or have their drivers license revoked and still need to go to their jobs
Oh honey 😢
I'm not saying that you shouldn't work on getting over your fear, but there are options like once you get old enough moving somewhere with public transportation, or somewhere where your needs are within walking distance. Also Uber and Lyft, and making friends with people who don't mind carpooling with you places. I'm 28 and still don't drive due to a lot of anxieties and car accidents when I was young. I honestly believe it's natural to be afraid of something that is so serious
Yeah, I feel for them. I have anxiety and when I was 15 right after I started driving I had a pretty traumatic experience driving and couldn’t bring myself to do it again until I was like 20 or 21, so like... I had anxiety so bad that I avoided driving for like 5 or 6 years. It was pretty bad...
I HAD to get a car for work though and sort of forced myself into an informal kind of exposure therapy (don’t recommend doing this just saying I did, it was probably a very bad idea).
What’s ironic now though is that it’s been a while since all of that, and honestly driving is one of my favorite things to do. I go on crazy-long road trips frequently, I would up driving for a living for a little while, and my car was a crazy good investment, because there were nights where I had nowhere but my car to sleep. Most people who know me will tell you that I’m one of the best drivers they know now lol
I seem to recall that some of these worst drivers only drove because they lived in rural areas with no other options. It’s a real ad for accessibility of public transport for everyone.
