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

Half of Mongolia's population lives in the capital of this horse-loving country. And they drive their cars like they ride their horses: fast and furious. Just five per cent of the roads leading from Ulaanbaatar are paved. That means, potholes, sinkholes and, did we say potholes? Host Andrew Younghusband learns to drive on the addled downtown streets and how to cross the street in a place where tourists are simply told: don't cross the street.
