* In ''IceAge III: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', the CrazyAwesome Buck captures a pterosaur and proceeds to commandeer it like an aircraft, with the possums Crash and Eddie in tow, in order to rescue Sid - which leads right into this trope as all three of them check on Sid. Apparently the pterosaur can't be trusted to ''[[FridgeLogic fly by itself.]]''

* In ''KingsQuestIII'', if you use the sleep spell in the pirate ship too early (Before land is sighted), Gwydion will realize that he just put the only people capable of navigating to sleep, resulting in the ship wandering aimlessly across the ocean and a game over.



* All over the place at the end of the WackyRaces episode "Speeding For Smogland." A chain reaction crash causes Luke and Blubber, Red Max, Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth, and Dick Dastardly and Muttley to be jettisoned from their cars into each other's cars. Dastardly is in the lead in the Arkansas Chuggabug, but the announcer informs him that he'll be disqualified for not being in the correct car. He stops and another chain reaction crash sends everyone back into their correct cars.

* Happens in the second ''CannonballRun'' movie. For some unknown reason, Mel Tillis has switched places with the [[ItMakesSenseInContext chimp who was "driving" the limo]]. The chimp then gets into a fight with Tony Danza who eventually climbs up front with Tillis. Tillis invokes the trope and Danza points out that the chimp is. That's when they drive through the trailer home. (I did not make up any of that.)

* Zig-zagged twice in the ScoobyDoo episode "Foul Play In Funland."

Then, the gang is helping Mr. Jenkins find his recalcitrant robot in a jeep, which Velma's driving. She's only 15! Does she have a permit??
