Plot

Mrs. Puff's appearance in this episode.
Mrs. Puff's appearance in this episode.

This is SpongeBob's last driving exam for the year, and as usual, he performs very poorly. He earns a score of 6, while he needs 600 to pass. SpongeBob is excited because he has to spend another year at boating school. Mrs. Puff doesn't want this, so she gives SpongeBob a bogus extra-credit assignment so she can be rid of SpongeBob. After that, she gives him his driver's license. She considers the consequences, which are potentially quite chaotic. At her house, there is a surprise party for her. SpongeBob's parents give him a new boat-mobile, and they go home. SpongeBob sneaks out of bed and sleeps in his new boat-mobile, and Mrs. Puff attempts to steal it. She doesn't realise that SpongeBob is in it, and she is caught by the police. Image File history File links Mrs. ... Image File history File links Mrs. ...
