Overview
After nearly a decade behind the wheel of Discovery's "Canada's Worst Driver", Andrew Younghusband really thought he'd experienced the worst-case driving scenarios ever. Terrible drivers are one thing -- and they're everywhere - but what happens on the roads in the most challenging and congested urban centres on the planet? Premiering on Discovery, DON'T DRIVE HERE finds Younghusband on a terrifying and thrilling global adventure, tasked with learning to navigate six of the world's worst driving cities - just as the locals do. Way outside of his comfort zone, Younghusband steers around unbelievable free-for-alls involving cars, bikes, pedestrians - and even animals - on white-knuckle rides in these incredible cities. But he's not alone. Bold and often incredibly skilled, Younghusband's local guides teach him how to navigate and experience the city in a way no guidebook ever could.

Overview
One of the foodie capitals of the world, Lima is known as the Garden City, but driving here definitely isn't a walk in the park; there are over 50,000 traffic accidents every year! Almost half of those involve vehicles called combis - risky public transit that locals rely on. Andrew helps a combi driver solicit passengers and then gets behind the wheel to experience first-hand the manic and harrowing traffic of downtown Lima.
