Okay, so... Hear me out. Spongebob should get Resistance to Vehicular Mastery. I know what you're thinking...
WHUUUHHHHHHH!!?!?!?!?!!
And yeah, it's a crazy thing to have a resistance to, but... Hear me out. Most vehicles Spongebob handled are largely isolated incidents (blindfolded driving (which, by the way, the episode later shown that Spongebob couldn't drive without one), piloting an airplane, piloting a submarine, driving a LITERAL ROCK). It is a common running gag and one of few lore bits actually set in stone for the series that Spongebob generally SUCKS at driving a boatmobile. I say that Spongebob sucking at driving is a set-in-stone lore bit because the creators liked the dynamic between Spongebob and Mrs Puff. Spongebob has been on multiple instances shown to be a genuine danger if he were to ever get behind the wheel of a boatmobile and has failed the driving exam 1258056 times (the actual amount of failures vary, but this one is the most notable, or at least that's what the Spongebob wiki thinks) and even Mrs. Puff herself said that Spongebob is unteachable. Spongebob's constant failures are even the subject of not only Mrs. Puff's incarcerations (most notably in "Doing Time", but "Hall Monitor" is a good one despite Spongebob never being behind the wheel in that episode), but also her insanity in various episodes (including one of the worst Spongebob episodes, I forget which, but it's the one where a deflated Puff tried to KILL Spongebob).
Spongebob's failure count was explicitly stated in the episode "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired," where his failures are numerous enough to where they can turn a select amount of photos from his permanent record into a flipbook, and somehow a drill sergeant was unable to get Spongebob to take a hint in the end. The running gag of Spongebob being a genuine danger behind the wheel remains largely consistent throughout the series, with the most notable example being in the episode "No Free Rides" where Mrs. Puffs passes Spongebob just to get him the hell out of her boating school, only to realize that Spongebob would kill everyone and demolish everything in his path with a boatmobile.
So yeah, basically Spongebob gets Resistance to Vehicular Mastery (at least specifically for boatmobiles) because Spongebob CANNOT master driving a boatmobile whatsoever, no matter how much other people try to drill it into his head.
