Plot[]
Samantha wants to learn how to drive, but after Darrin gets frustrated and testy trying to teach her, they have a fight and he enrolls her in a driving school. Sam is instructed by a new driving instructor and nervous wreck named Harold Harold. Samantha uses her witchcraft to get out of potential accidents, and Harold gets so out-of-control after hearing Endora's voice from the back seat that he runs off screaming. As a result, Harold is fired, but is rehired when Sam loyally states that she will go to another school rather than learn from another instructor.
Trivia[]
