Synopsis
Anthony pulls up to begin his driving test, where his mother (Ian Hecox) wishes her son good luck and tries to give him a goodbye kiss, which Anthony refuses, to his mother's teasing disappointment. The driving instructor (Ian) soon enters the passenger seat and informs Anthony that he needs to test Anthony's knowledge on where things are in the car before officially starting the test. He first asks Anthony to point to the turn signals. Anthony complies by flicking it upward. Anthony is then asked to point to the hazard lights and complies by tapping the button for the hazard lights. Finally, he asks Anthony to point to the "flux capacitor", a humorous reference to the Back to the Future films that only confuses Anthony. After a few seconds of laughing at his joke, the instructor gives the okay to start driving.

As Anthony drives, he is instructed to take a right on a turn and complies. He brakes when he sees an old man (Anthony) with a walking cane hobbling across the street. After a few seconds of waiting, the instructor sighs impatiently, grimaces, and nonchalantly claims that it is illegal to be stopped for more than three seconds. Anthony reminds him of the presence of the old man crossing the street, to which the instructor gives Anthony the choice of going and running through the old man or failing the test. Anthony exclaims that he cannot go because of the old man. The instructor fails him.

Returning for his second try, Anthony's mother comforts her son by telling him that a lot of people fail on their first try and wishes him luck. Trying to give him a goodbye kiss, Anthony again refuses, and his mother leaves as the driving instructor arrives and greets Anthony again. Seeing his instructor is the same person as his previous one, Anthony sighs in disappointment. As they drive, Anthony seems to be doing well until the instructor sees four babies (played by baby dolls) lying in the road. Anthony swerves around them, entering the left lane in the process, which prompts the instructor to explain that entering the left lane is only legal in England. Anthony justifies his actions by reminding the instructor that there were babies in the road, but his instructor, unmoved, fails him for a second time.

Returning for his third try, Anthony's mother chalks up her son's previous failures as "flukes in the system" and again wishes him luck. Anthony refuses a goodbye kiss, to his mother's disappointment. While he drives, Anthony is instructed to pull over to a nearby house and wait as the instructor unbuckles and gets out of the car. As Anthony watches, the instructor runs up to the front porch and enters the house. While Anthony waits, he becomes alarmed when he hears a series of several gunshots and the breaking of glass. He soon watches as the instructor exits the house with two duffel bags and shooting back at the house with a pistol. Returning to the car, the instructor orders Anthony to go. Anthony, growing frantic, asks the instructor what he was doing, but his instructor orders him again to "punch it, man!". As Anthony drives away, the instructor fires several more gunshots at the house through the passenger window. As they drive, the instructor inspects his body and notices that, to his irritation, he got shot. Anthony asks him if he is going to be okay, which the instructor says yes, however, he will have to fail Anthony yet again.

Fed up with her son's apparent inability to pass the test, Anthony's mother drops the sweet act and threatens to kill him if he fails again. An anxious Anthony promises to pass this time and his mother leaves the car without offering a goodbye kiss. Anthony only sighs in anticipation as he awaits his instructor.

As a narrator explains over a series of black-and-white clips, during his fourth attempt, he managed to correct all of the apparent errors he made over the course of his previous tries, including barrelling into the old man, running over the babies, and successfully getting his instructor away from danger. Unfortunately, he is now a wanted man with a series of felonies on his record. Despite this, however, he got his driver's license.
