After failing his driver’s exam, Les takes the road test (and passes), following a computer surge that he unknowingly caused. The Department of Motor Vehicles had originally let him pass the exam (as his failing score was irretrievable after the computer surge) because his twin sister had scored so highly. They decided that twins couldn’t be too different, but when his test scores are finally retrieved, his new license is torn up and he is officially failed. Les lies to his parents and friends, convincing them that he has passed the test. Unfortunately his parents find out the truth and as a result, Les is grounded. That night, having already made plans to use his new license, he sneaks out of the house with his grandfather’s prized 1972 Cadillac for a night on the town with Mercedes.
