★★★★ · Jerry has always been a good boy.. · Spuzz · 2018-01-21

Jerry, star athlete and all around good guy, turns into a different type of person when he's behind the wheel of a car. When he and 2 of his friends are hauled away for speeding, Jerry finds out he's also being investigated for a possible hit and run, He is put before juvvy court where people tell what a nice guy he is except when he's driving (sorta like me). Noone can't seem to remember hitting anything, except there was that bump.. Although you can guess the outcome by watching the beginning of the movie, I found this was an amusing piece of drivers ed melodrama.
