* When the thieves offer to pay him extra for transporting them to Avignon, Frank refuses because that was also not part of the deal. Whatever else can be said about him, Frank clearly has standards and he only takes the amount for the job he agreed upon. And the next day, we learn that the thieves were apprehended. The news cast even attributes their capture to their poor driving skills.

* [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Frank gets one in the first five minutes of the film]]. He has been hired as a getaway driver for a group of thieves but they are one man more than the number that was agreed upon in the original deal and their combined weight means Frank cannot make the escape on the gas he has allotted and the car cannot make the maneuvers to evade the police. When the leader threatens to just shoot Frank and have someone else drive, Frank informs them that they do not have the ignition codes for the car.

* The following car chase (and the film's first one) which shows off Frank's excellent driving skills and informs the audience of why he is considered the best in the transporter business.

And then when the cops start following the car-carrier, Frank uses a gun to release one of the other cars, sending it into the police cruisers and slowing them down.
