Cute, but slightly annoying short showcasing bad driving techniques. Narrated by the head of the Screw Drivers, or something, this guy has this foreign weird accent or something that gets on the nerves really quickly. The don'ts shown in this film are pretty uncommon in this day and age. Parking in the middle of the street for one (Oh, I'm sure you have stories)
