DON'T DRIVE HERE


Host Andrew Younghusband discovers the perils and pitfalls of driving in cities that have the worst traffic in the world. In cities where most of us would hop on a tour bus, Andrew bravely jumps into the driver's seat alongside local cabbies, deliverymen and others who offer him a taste of the city's culture through their windshields and rear-view mirrors. Don't Drive Here is a humorous and white-knuckle journey into the heart of each city, where Andrew meets a local traffic expert to find out why driving there is so perilous in the first place and takes the local driving test to see some of the fascinating tasks regular folks must perform to get a license. Andrew then competes in a driving challenge, taking what he's learned from the streets and competing against a local professional driver.
