Brody insists that he doesn't need to practice and indeed neglects his practice in favor of surfing; when he's called on to drive backwards in an actual emergency, he fails. Penny on the other hand was diligent in her practice and performs perfectly. Brody sheepishly admits that he can't rely on talent, especially in high-tension situations.
