He comes up to SpongeBob and says that he passed and got a driver's license. At first SpongeBob is happy, however people start treating Patrick like a celebrity. He even gets his own hot rod, something which makes SpongeBob envious. SpongeBob gets angrier because Patrick's boat's engine keeps him up at night, Patrick has to drive SpongeBob to work, and Patrick is talking all the time about driving. Mr. Krabs sets up a drive-thru window for Patrick, and even SpongeBob's own parents are talking more about Patrick than himself. However, when Patrick starts breaking some traffic laws, SpongeBob finally bursts and rips up Patrick's license, and Patrick and SpongeBob are chased by the police. Patrick has do some time in the slammer for not having his driver's license. However, SpongeBob begs to go in his place, and his request is granted.
