Plot

Mrs. Puff comes out of her boating school and shows a video called Safety at Sea: An Educational Driving Film.

Lesson #1: 5 Things Before Driving

The video begins with the following dialogue: "Mr. Good Driver always does 5 things before he starts his boat. He makes sure his tires are pumped, his propellers are oiled, makes sure his horn is functioning, practices his signals and fastens his seat belt. And then there's a bad driver like what I like to refer to as a SpongeBob." When SpongeBob (the "Bad Driver") tries doing it, he does it incorrectly and ends up seriously injuring Squidward ("Mr. Good Driver").

Lesson #2: Entering Traffic

Squidward looks both ways until the traffic is clear but the second he pulls out SpongeBob crashes into him, worsening the injuries Squidward already sustained.

Lesson #3: Spotting Pedestrians

First, Squidward swerves around a old lady, then a baby. Then Squidward lifts the middle of the boat so a fruit vendor goes over him. Squidward runs off two boards and a truck as a ramp to go over two workers carrying a glass pane. Then SpongeBob starts bouncing on a pogo stick in front of Squidward, who tries to avoid running into him. Unable to do so, he swerves out of control, heading straight toward the same old lady; right when Squidward is about to crash into her, she reveals her muscles and pushes Squidward out of the way, injuring him once again. Due to a missing reel, lessons 4 to 28 are skipped.

Lesson #29: Navigation

Squidward first runs over some speed bumps. He sees some children crossing the road, but they are so slow he goes around them. Overwhelmed by directions, Squidward looks at a road map while driving right as Mrs. Puff begins to explain how reading a road map can help with navigation. An embarrassed Squidward quickly puts the map away, while "driving is only something a SpongeBob would do" and Squidward sees SpongeBob reading a road map and driving the wrong way, skidding against Squidward's boat and sending him out of control. Squidward's boat goes off an unfinished bridge and explodes. Due to another missing reel, lessons 30 to 52 are skipped.
