During the filming of the scene when Torrance, Missy, Jan and Les carpool to a football game, a driver, angry that the film's motorcade was making him late for dinner, attempted to drive the camera truck off the road. It appears the character of Les is just an overly cautious driver who keeps checking his side mirrors. Huntley Ritter is really watching Mr. Road Rage get pulled over by the Highway Patrol.
Of all the cheerleaders featured, only Kirsten Dunst (17), Rini Bell (19) and Brandi Williams (18) were still teenagers during filming. Everyone else was in their 20s; Gabrielle Union being the oldest at 27.

All of the actors who were playing cheerleaders had to go to what they ended up calling "Cheerleader Boot Camp".
