Plot

In the summer of his sixteenth year, Les Anderson finds himself caught in the throes of adolescent longing, his heart aflutter for the enchanting Mercedes Lane. Despite her current entanglement with the suave, car-owning Paolo, Les dreams of sweeping her off her feet. Twin sister Natalie diligently prepares for the imminent driving test, but Les, distracted by teenage fantasies, fails to give it the attention it demands, resulting in an unfortunate failure he lacks the courage to disclose to his expectant parents and loyal comrades, Dean and Charles. When a lovers' quarrel leaves Mercedes seeking a way to make Paolo envious, she turns to Les, igniting his hopes for a romantic escapade. But just as he's preparing for his dream date, his secret slips out, and his parents ground him, leaving his plans in shambles. However, the allure of Mercedes' invitation proves too potent to resist. Les defies parental decree, absconds with his grandfather's cherished Cadillac, and embarks on a nocturnal rendezvous that promises more adventure than he'd bargained for. As the night unfurls, Les' grand scheme to impress Mercedes transmutes into a wild ride of unintended consequences. The once pristine Cadillac bears the brunt of their escapade, enduring a series of escalating mishaps that mirror Les' frantic efforts to navigate the tumultuous terrain of teenage love and independence. Will Les survive this chaotic night and win Mercedes' heart, or will his grand plan crash and burn, just like his grandfather's Cadillac? 'License to Drive' is a humorous and heartwarming ride through the trials and tribulations of adolescence, driven by dreams, desire, and a desperate need for a driving license.
