★★★★★ · Permit to Drive · vsp · 2007-03-15
This film, although from many years ago is very relevant for today. If people would understand and act like they know how to drive. Very good! I could use this in my driver education classes.

I liked this film, though its a shade too long, about how important a drivers license is, as it gives you permission, not a right, to drive. Liked the POV of this film, as its spoken by the license itself, though I have better ideas on how this could have been delivered (The title character should have been animated!).

★★★★ · Good solid film · ERD · 2006-06-08

Vague driver's ed film by GM, narrated by a non-animated driver's permit, that begins with an exposition about how the car enables us to do so many things. Like a teen watching this wouldn't have figured this out already! It then follows with stern warnings about being courteous and following the road rules, yet it never really explains what those things are. Not terribly interesting, since it's a bunch of stock photos including GM cars with no actors/dialogue.
