Don't Drive Here is a reality television series. It airs on Discovery Channel Canada and is hosted by Andrew Younghusband. The series is a follow-up to Canada's Worst Driver.[1] In August of 2015, it was announced that the show had not been renewed for a third season.[2]

Each one-hour episode features Younghusband completing driving challenges in one of "the world's worst driving cities", with the ultimate goal of learning to drive better than a local professional driver. Cities featured on the first season of the show included Delhi, India; Bangkok, Thailand; Mexico City, Mexico; Manila, Philippines; Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia; and Lima, Peru.[3] Cities featured on the second season of the show included Nairobi, Kenya; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; La Paz, Bolivia; Rome, Italy; and São Paulo, Brazil.

Don't Drive Here was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Factual Program in 2014.[4]

A reviewer for the Winnipeg Free Press called the show "this week's most white-knuckle-inducing, terrifying television...undoubtedly one of the most stressful hours of prime-time programming you'll encounter this or any other season".[5]
