Bumper to Bumper

Characters

Plot

One fish is doing the boating course perfectly with Mrs. Puff, and then its SpongeBob's turn. Soon, Mrs. Puff realizes SpongeBob is afraid of the course and has him drive on an abandoned road where he passes his test and gets a license. But, police had seen them and thought they were reckless drivers because Mrs. Puff crossed the county line which she shoudn't have done. At the end the police officer rips up SpongeBob's license. As Mrs. Puff's going to jail she says "I will get you, SpongeBob! I will get you!" and it ends.

The title card background music is the same as Season 3's New Student Starfish and Season 4's Mrs. Puff, You're Fired.
This marks the fifth time Mrs. Puff has been jailed, her other arrests occurring in Hall Monitor, Doing Time, Summer Job, and Oral Report.

Goofs

When Mrs. Puff was thrown into the policecar, she was wearing hand cuffs. When she appeared at the window threatening to get SpongeBob, her hand cuffs were suddenly gone.
When the policeman first yelled at SpongeBob, he had a megaphone. In the next shot after SpongeBob accidently sped up, the policeman's megaphone was suddenly gone though it was never shown when he put it away.
When the policeman came up to Mrs. Puff the security cuff on her ankle dissapears (also mentionede missing during the exam), then when she looks down at her ankle, it reappears.
