Drivers Beware: Canada’s Worst Driver Crowned

Canada's Worst Driver 2008

Canada’s Worst Driver 4, a tv show on the Discover Channel just aired the final episode for this season and the winner (or is it loser?) of this season is Ashley Van Ham of Medicine Hat. In the interests of public safety we are going to be posting her picture so everyone can stay out of her way. Pedestrians, if you didn’t catch the latest episode you may want to be on the lookout for Ashley as she cruises the streets of Medicine Hat on the lookout for people in crosswalks to mow down.

Immediately after being declared Canada’s Worst Driver, Ashley and her husband (and probably most people watching the show) were in complete shock. Everyone, including myself yelled out “WHAT?” as in What The Fuck? How did Ashley get the title and not Emily, who did so bad I swear she was intentionally doing bad and being paid behind the scenes based on how many obstacles she could mow over while announcing to the world that she can’t see.

I Cannota See!! Whatever!

Emily Wang from Calgary was clearly the worst driver this year but because Ashley could not control her emotions she was spared from winning the trophy nobody wants to take home. I’m not entirely sure I agree with the judges this year, because somebody that has trouble looking for traffic lights when they don’t exist need some serious help. Emily would also turn from non-turning lanes, drive into intersections on a red light, yet stops on green lights, and ignores stop signs (because she cannota see them). Is an overly-cautious bad driver better than a driver that loses control of her emotions in umcomfortable situations?

I’m certainly on the fence and would have trouble choosing one over the other. They are both clearly terrible drivers but at the end of the day, I am glad that Ashley was chosen. I’m glad because Canada’s Worst Driver for 2008 is NOT a chinese woman. ;)
