History DrivesLikeCrazy / AnimeAndManga

** Sonia seems to take this UpToEleven with how reckless her driving is. Goh's too scared to even get into her car knowing how bad crazy her driving is.

** [[Manga/YuGiOh5Ds Its manga]] [[AlternateContinuity counterpart]] [[UpToEleven takes it up a notch]] at one point: Late in the turbo duel between Aki and Sherry, Aki ''closes her eyes while still riding on her D-Wheel''. Aside from Yusei, who thinks she's truly enjoying her duel, everyone in-universe reacts with shock and horror (one other duelist remarks with: "Forget the ICU! One wrong move and she'll be in the morgue!"). [[JustifiedTrope To be fair, however]]: 1.) She does this as a necessary measure to block Sherry's [[PsychicPower Hand Scan ability]], 2.) she KNOWS how dangerous such a stunt is, which is why she hesitates about doing so, even at the brink of defeat, 3.) it takes some encouragement from her friends and fellow classmates (instigated by one fellow classmate Aki herself defeated in their respective duel, no less) to get her to really let go of her inhibition, and 4.) when asked by Sherry about where Aki learned to ride her D-Wheel so safely despite closing her eyes after Aki wins the duel between them, Aki is so shocked by the realization of what she had done that she loses the strength in her legs momentarily, before admitting to Sherry that it's a desperate measure that she can't believe she managed to pull off and that she can't be counted on to pull off again.

* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'': In season 2, Saeko agrees to drive Hinata and Kageyama to Tokyo so they can participate in the volleyball training camp they would've missed otherwise. Her driving is very chaotic and in the second OVA, is implied to make Hinata sick.

** Sonia seems to take this up to 11 with how reckless her driving is. Goh's too scared to even get into her car knowing how bad crazy her driving is.

** This is justified, as Penguin Village, where the series take place, has ''absurdly lax'' qualifying standards for obtaining driver's license.[[note]]Answering ''one'' question right is enough to pass the interview test with NO written exam involved; the driving test -- due to the car for the driving test having engine trouble, as the instructor informs them -- involves riding a ''bicycle'' in Taro's case and, because Arale's legs are too short to reach the pedals, operating a '''remote controlled toy tank''' in Arale's, and they both use their "vehicles" for less than a block before the instructor passes them.[[/note]] Such "standards" make bad driving a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome.

* In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Jim Crocodile Cook does this -- [[ItMakesSenseInContext in a fossilized truck]]. Season 4 gives us Saiou saving Juudai by ''running over the Trueman clones with a van''' and then escaping on a motorcycle.

* Hyoma Aoi from ''Anime/CombattlerV''. He is not a lousy driver but a BadassBiker, but he likes ''a bit too much'' having fun as he drives. In his first appearance he caused a traffic accident because he broke the limit speed and several patrol cars were trying to catch him. All of his chasers crashed into each other, but he avoided to crash.

* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
** Satou Miwako. A case focuses on her insane driving skills, and Movie 11 opens up with her at the wheel in a high-speed car chase that has Takagi clutching the "Oh Shit" handle for dear life.
** Aldo Yukiko Kudo, Shinichi's mother, serfing her car through the big apple in ''The Golden Apple'' part one.

* Everyone who can get their hands on a vehicle in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime. Professors Oak and Kukui avoid this...and then it comes back with [[NoSenseOfDirection Leon]] speeding the kids around the Wild Area in his [[CoolCar Carizard]] during ''Journeys'''s third opening animation.

* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': Yukari Tanizaki is hands-down the queen of crazy driving. Some AMV-producer combined the trope-naming song and the insane driver into this nice AMV. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCw5b5s_byg Click to watch.]] She drives a [[TheAllegedCar badly beaten-up Toyota held together with two pieces of wire, white glue, and the will of the Almighty]]. Poor Chiyo-chan ends up [[ThousandYardStare mentally scarred for life]] after just one ride with her, and will get ColorFailure at even the ''[[TraumaButton mention]]'' of "the [[{{Thememobile}} Yukari-mobile]]". ("[[MadnessMantra Pleasestoppleasestoppleasestop...]]") According to Chiyo, Yukari varies between driving too fast and too slow, doesn't check her mirrors, and tends to not notice details such as surrounding traffic and pedestrians. Seconds into the third year trip to Chiyo's summer home, Yukari forgets the car is in reverse...in Chiyo's yard. She then blasts past Nyamo's car, laying on the horn and mocking Nyamo...who is stopped at a red light...

** After her first ride with Yukari, Chiyo-chan takes measures to avoid becoming Yukari's passenger again, including placing herself in Nyamo's car the very instant she found out that Yukari was the other driver during the third-year trip. In the manga, it's implied that the ride scared the poor girl off riding in vehicles altogether. Hearing this, Kaorin goes into a panic and is reluctant to take the ride in Yukari's car but decides to do it anyway because Sakaki was willing to do it. Yukari's little slip-up in the front yard terrifies Kaorin to the point of ColorFailure. She ends up totally shell-shocked by the time they get there - to the point that Sakaki has to help her get out - and then Yukari notices ''yet another'' unacceptable, terrifying mistake in the poor girl's earshot...

'''Kaorin''': '''GNNNH!''' ''[collapses, starts to slip out of Sakaki's support]'' Oh...

-->'''Rally''': <innocently as she leaves perfectly parked car> "What's wrong?"\\
'''May''': <staggering out of the passenger seat> "C-carsick...."

* Touko Aozaki from ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' proves to be a mild example of this in the third movie, judging by [[OhCrap Mikiya's reaction]] to her careening around corners, and in the fifth it's revealed that she never went to driving school. It's also implied that this may be a trait of mages in the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} in general since most of them are [[BunnyEarsLawyer rather odd]] and many of them abhor modern technology.

* Nurse Youko from ''Anime/MaiHime''. Hearing one single, high-pitched, utterly ''terrified'' scream from Midori as Youko drives away should clue you in.

* Tomoe from ''Manga/SasamekiKoto''. We don't actually see her driving, but afterwards the car looks like it's been in a warzone. And then it [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]].
