Subtitled "The Art of Driving the Super-Highway"

From Ingy : This is one of the shorts that I remember the most. It is positively hilarious and also has good instruction for driving. I remember watching it in Driver's Ed class. When it started and the title came up I whooped with joy, which of course made the whole class look at me and the teacher wasn't too happy. I have been searching and waiting and hoping it would show up on a DVD someday. Where/when will it ever happen?

From Christopher Cruz : What can I say? Hilarious! Seen it dozens of times. It's also good for the driver's ed student (even though Goofy is considered a "kiddie" cartoon), it clearly shows that kinds of crazy drivers on the road today. "Let's hope you never become one!" Goofy says. My favorite driver in this short-Stupidicus. Though there's a serious element to it, it's hilariously played out!

I have seen "Freewayphobia" and would like to
