Members of the Barone family, including Ray, Debra, Robert, and Marie, are turned off by grandfather Frank's poor ethics as a driver, which is executed via him driving in police officer Robert's patrol car and cutting off a funeral procession while driving to an arcade named The Happy Zone.

Ray, with this realization, takes Frank's car keys out of his hand officially revoking his privileges to drive, which he then gives to Marie where she puts them in her bra.

Frank then goes to the DMV to take his driving test, and (as part of a rule where a licensed driver has to ride with a student) Ray goes along with him.

On the ride over, Frank fails to look for any oncoming cars, accidentally flipping off a pedestrian, running a stop sign, and having to brake so sudden at a stoplight.
