First lesson...

Here we have Mr. Good Driver.

Before starting the vehicle,

he always inspects five areas
of his boat for safety.

He checks his tire buoyancy...

[tire hisses]

[meter beeps]
Ensures his propeller

is properly oiled...

Confirms his boat horn
is functioning...

[horn honks]
Reviews his signals...

[signals dinging]

And most importantly,

he fastens his seat belt...

or what I refer to as

a "SpongeBob."
