Not to mention the lack of an extra greeting

@@moomoomrcow8484 he doesn’t do those anymore

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 UKposts 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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???"

@@Namtrix yhh

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 UKposts 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.

“I love speeding :D”

I love refrigerators

yall cannot tell me he didnt speak in tiny when he said that😭

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

The more i watch, the more i realize this was the exact episode i watched 😭

I'm the opposite, because I purposely avoided driving BECAUSE it seems scary, but everybody is telling me I need to learn now that I'm 21. It would beore convenient to drive and notnhave to rely on busses and get groceries on my own and stuff but I just see so many stupid drivers and pedestrians and I am a distracted person in general anyway so the idea always scared me, but everyone is saying I need to learn.

​@@fuzzyotterpaws4395hey man, take your time and do it when you feel ready, don't feel pressured into driving

​@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 as someone who was scared to drive but learned because public transportation doesn't exist in my area it's better being in control behind the wheel. I still get nervous when other people drive but I'm okay when I'm the one driving. City driving is the only thing I still struggle with cause it's hard to navigate and watch all the different lanes. GPS helps. But I only drive in the city a few times a year so I'd probably be fine if I did it more and knew my way around better.

I assumed they weren’t driving before the show?? If I got that upset driving I know I would never get behind a wheel if I didn’t absolutely have to.

@@ricohawker5072 they were literally forced, they clearly didn’t want to drive

A driving phobia? Lmao at this point y’all just making this shit up

Look it up bitch boy it’s a thing

Same here! I’m 20 and still don’t have a permit because even the idea of driving gives me a panic attack. There’s so much stress around getting one and I’m constantly pressured about it but no one really seems to understand how actually terrifying it is for me. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one :’^)

Wishing y’all the best! Always try for mind over matter but move at your own pace!!

I feel you. In my country you get your permit at 18 but what you said still applies. Getting my license was an absolute nightmare, i struggle with anxiety and my instructor was a dick, he would yell at me when i made the slightest mistake and he didn't have any patience, at one point i got so frustrated that i started crying in the car. Idk how it works in the US but here you have to take a multiple choice test first and then you can start your driving lessons with a permit that also allows you to drive your own car with an adult as a supervisor. You have to have a sign on your car to show that you're a student driver and people in the street are somehow meaner when they see the sign?? Like give me a break dude im literally learning. Didn't drive for a whole month after getting my license

I finally got my license at 21 :) you are in no rush! Weirdly, driving to me is calm and alleviates all the anxiety of public transport for me. But I understand how overwhelming it can be.

Yep, same here! I'm nearly 20, and in my country you're allowed driving lessons at 17, and to drive by yourself (with license of course) at 18. When I turned 18 everyone would ask me when I was getting my license, if I'd started driving lessons yet, etc etc, and I would always have to explain why not. I just didn't want that kind of stress in my life! Sure, going by car is easier than taking public transport, but I'd seen friends being pressured into driving lessons they didn't want and it was horrible. They had terrible anxiety and mean instructors. Worst of all? We all still lived at home, and usually their parents owned 2 cars, which both of them needed most days of the week to get to work. So my friends would go for an aimless drive during the weekends just to not lose their driving knowledge, but they barely ever actually got any use out of it. Now, I'm lucky enough to live somewhere with okay public transport. It's not ideal, and it takes longer than going by car, but mostly it's doable. I'll get my license when I feel like it, even if that means never!

It was also just the Canadian version of Worst Drivers. Pretty sure the original was from the U.K. and there have been several country adaptions since. It was just the longest running one and people largely attributed to the main host. As for the show, it's a mix of trying to help and bring awareness to the issue while also setting goals that most don't need to do often if ever so there can be tensions for people on the show that way.

The people showing up are there voluntarily and they don’t have the power to strip them of their licenses (as much as I wish they did). I think this show was great. It did seem to help quite a few of the people that were on it. Some people needed the help of the therapist and some just needed to learn driving skills. The woman that was the worst driver in the season featured here was later diagnosed with some major mental health issues that exacerbated her driving problems.

Jinkies

Velma: "I am smart" Also Velma: "I can't drive."

@@mariahmuise In the lastest video from Elvis the Alien (The Spiderman one), he made a remark about Kurtis and (I think) the villain from the first movie having the same name. Also, he asked to comment this on Kurtis' video to make him aware.

Dude ur doing great

Hey, I used to have really bad driving anxiety too. I didn't get my license until I was 21. It actually gets so much more manageable when you get your license and just practice driving without anyone with you in the car. That being said, I have two close friends (we are in our 30s now) who don't have licenses, and 3 of my husband's siblings (all in their late 20s) don't have licenses either. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but it's also something that you can practice and get better at if it's important to you. You just need to really push yourself. I also have a personal conspiracy theory that no one passes their test on the first try so they have to come back and pay again to take the test again.

Good for you for staying determined to still get your license! Driving is scary enough without having anxiety. You're stronger for working through it

Good job

It’s all good I didn’t get mine until I was 21 and I still get anxious driving. I’d rather take public transport
