Offensive Driving 101 is a unique game mode in Burnout 2: Point of Impact.
It is the first and only option available for Single Player at the start of the game and imposes itself as the introduction and tutorial. The purpose of such a mode is to make the player familiar with the game mechanics and notably the various Driving Skills to ultimately master Boost and its specifics.
Offensive Driving 101 puts the player at the wheel of the Driver's Ed car for 6 short lessons. A ranking system is active for each but a Bronze medal is sufficient to move on. Nevertheless, earning a Gold medal on each of the lessons unlocks the Driver's Ed car for use in other events.
Ironically, Offensive Driving 101 can be seen as the parody to real life anti-driver's education since it teaches illegal maneuvers and promotes dangerous driving.
