Season chronology

Canada's Worst Driver 7 is the seventh season of the Canadian reality TV show Canada's Worst Driver, which aired on the Discovery Channel. As with previous years, eight people, nominated by their family or friends, enter the Driver Rehabilitation Centre to improve their driving skills. This season makes a particular emphasis on the uniquely Canadian nature of driving, rather than having any driving-related motifs as in past years. This year, the Driver Rehabilitation Centre is located at the Dunnville Airport in Dunnville, Ontario for the second straight season. The initial drive started in St. Catharines, Ontario and the final road test occurred in Hamilton, Ontario. This season is the first to be broadcast in high definition, owing to the launch of the high-definition simulcast of Discovery Channel. As part of the promotion for this season, a special Monday edition of The Alan Nursall Experience, a segment on Daily Planet (which normally airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays), takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Driver Rehabilitation Centre.

The Discovery Channel reported that it had received roughly 900 driver nominations for the show's seventh season.[1] One of the drivers nominated was a driver who had difficulty with directions, whose family believed he relied too heavily on his phone's GPS system.[1]
