Hosted by Alonzo Bodden and Jill Simonian, contestants from eight different cities compete to not be named the worst driver in their respective cities, because the contestants who are named the worst driver in their city has their car destroyed, while everyone else wins prizes ranging from free oil changes to a trip for two to Florida. All contestants are enrolled in a Driver's Education class in their respective cities regardless of what happens in the series. In the two-part finale, the eight worst drivers meet up in Los Angeles to show who is the most improved, with each driver winning a new car, while the driver who hasn't improved is named America's Worst Driver. Matt Conn of San Francisco was named as such and had a car representing him torn apart by Robosaurus.
