Driver thanks the officer and struts his way out to his mother and waves his permit in her face. She, of course, lets him drive home — but that's another story in New Driver's life. Regina Garner, who is in a hurry, finds unlocking her truck door a very big pet peeve. Fridays are car decorating days, courtesy of the cheerleaders.
