* GenreBlindness: Hilary doesn't seem to acknowledge any red flags with the Driver, and even ''[[TooDumbToLive calls out to him when he's in her house]].'' Not the smartest decisions to make when you're in a slasher movie, let alone when you just gave your personal info to a creepy stranger who asked you not to call the police after your accident.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Apparently, this is a trend with Hilary. First she is in total denial of Rachel's attempts to persuade her that Andy is cheating on her, and has to see it with her own eyes. Second, she either doesn't notice or ignores just how fake the Driver's politeness is, not being at all shaken by his request for her not to call the cops.
* ICanSeeYou: In the first scene, the Driver send a text message to the woman he rear ended while she haves a bubble bath which says "[[WhamLine Enjoy your bubble bath]]."

* MoralMyopia: Andy tries to intimidate Hilary into reconciling with him, even though any reason they would have had to reconcile in the first place was entirely his fault, since he cheated on her.
