After receiving traffic violations, young Dana Cannon (John Murray) and other motorists are ordered by Judge Nedra Henderson (Sally Kellerman) to attend a driving school as a way to avoid further penalties. The reluctant students must contend with the stern Deputy Halik (James Keach) as a teacher and remain resigned to completing the course. However, when Dana and his classmates learn of a devious scheme involving Henderson and Halik, they rebel against their deceptive authority figures.

Lonnie B @lonniebradford Jul 14, 2026 Awesome movie! It's super funny, and they just don't make 'em like this anymore. I loved it as a kid, and I practically knew every line, along with tons of other '80s and '90s movies, but this one was always a top pick! It's totally worth watching and has really held up over time. I've rewatched it a bunch as an adult and always think it's still great. I've loved every minute of it every time I've seen it as an adult. No, it's not exactly witty, well-written, or complex like a lot of good movies today, but as long as you know that going in, you'll love it. I'd even say if you know what you're getting into and don't like it, you probably take life a bit too seriously and might have a pretty bad sense of humor.
