Buckle your seat belt, adjust your mirrors, and check your blind spot, because Collider has an exclusive sneak peek of Bobby Farrelly’s new comedy, Driver’s Ed. Kumail Nanjiani plays an eccentric driving instructor in the new film, which will be released in select theaters and on digital by Vertical on May 15.

In our exclusive sneak peek, Nanjiani plays Mr. Rivers, a driving instructor who’s supervising Jeremy (Sam Nivola, The White Lotus) as he takes the wheel. He quizzes Jeremy and his three classmates, all seniors, about why they’re taking the course: rebellious Evie (Sophie Telegadis, One Stupid Thing) has no friends, studious Aparna (Mohana Krishnan, I Am Frankie) needs to know how to drive the solar-powered car she’s designing, and burnout Yoshi (Aidan Laprete, The Wilds) has failed the class repeatedly.

Jeremy, meanwhile, is used to being driven around by his girlfriend, but now she’s off at college. Although Jeremy insists that they’re “making it work,” Rivers has seen it all before. He’s certain that Jeremy’s relationship is all but over, much to the teenager’s horror. Of course, he’ll have to move past it quickly and deal with the more pressing matter of “some a**hole doing 15 in a 30 zone.”

Based on your personality, energy, and taste, the classic rock band that matches your soul is…

You are pure, undiluted rock energy. You don’t need tricks, trends, or theatrical gimmicks — you have something more powerful: a riff that hits like a thunderbolt and an attitude that never wavers. Like AC/DC, you understand that simplicity executed with absolute conviction is its own form of genius. You’re the person in the room who doesn’t overthink it, doesn’t pretend, and never turns the volume down. The highway to hell is a state of mind — and you’ve been on it since day one.

You’ve got swagger that can’t be taught. Rooted in the blues and soaked in street-level attitude, you move through life with a loose, dangerous elegance that draws people in without ever trying too hard. Like the Stones, you’ve seen it all, done most of it, and somehow look better for it. You’re not chasing perfection — you’re chasing truth, groove, and that electric moment when everything clicks. Can’t always get what you want? You tend to get it anyway.

You go hard or you go home — and you almost always go hard. Intense, dedicated, and fiercely loyal to what you believe in, you don’t do anything halfway. Like Metallica, your passion runs deeper than most people’s will ever go, and when you care about something, it shows in every detail. You’re drawn to darkness not because you’re cynical, but because you’re honest — and honest people know the world isn’t always pretty. Enter Sandman. Nothing else matters. That’s your philosophy.

You are magnificent, and you know it — not from arrogance, but from an unshakeable sense of self that has never needed anyone’s permission. Like Queen, you defy every category people try to place you in. You blend the epic with the intimate, the operatic with the anthemic, the serious with the playful. You live boldly, love fiercely, and perform every aspect of your life as though the whole world is watching. Because sometimes it is. We are the champions — and so are you.

You have the rarest of gifts: the ability to make something that feels both deeply personal and universally human. Like The Beatles, you’re a natural connector — someone whose warmth, curiosity, and creative instincts draw people together across every divide. You believe in melody, in craftsmanship, and in the quiet power of a song that says exactly what someone needed to hear. You’ve changed the people around you just by being who you are. All you need is love — and you give it generously.

In this hilarious homage to John Hughes’ 1980s comedies, insecure Jeremy has a breakdown after a phone call from his girlfriend makes him believe they’re on the verge of breaking up. He steals Mr. Rivers’ driver’s ed car to road trip his way to her college campus to see her, and inadvertently brings his three mismatched driver’s ed classmates with him. Along the way, they’re going to evade the authorities, learn a little something about each other, and remember to keep their hands at ten and two. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year to rave reviews. It also stars Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live), Alyssa Milano (Charmed), Lilah Pate (The Runarounds), and Ella Stiller (The Comeback), and was penned by screenwriter Thomas Moffett (An Actor Prepares).

Driver’s Ed is the latest film from Bobby Farrelly, who, with his brother Peter, exploded onto the comedy scene in the 1990s and 2000s with films like Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, and Me, Myself, and Irene. Driver’s Ed is his third solo directorial feature, after the sports dramedy ***Champions ***and the holiday horror comedy Dear Santa.

*Driver’s Ed *will be released in select theaters and on digital on May 15. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
