10	* Taeko from ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'' is praised as a good driver, ''by the proprietor of an arcade''. Tina, Kaoru, and Chika are just relieved to be alive.
11	* Haruko from ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}'' terrorizes the neighborhood on her motorbike.
12	* Every named character in the manga version of ''Manga/{{Akira}}''. Then again, aside from intentionally reckless motorcycle hoodlum Kaneda, we mostly see them trying to control military vehicles they weren't trained for. Special mention goes to Kaneda, Kei and Chiyoko for pulling off an honest-to-goodness [[TankGoodness tank rampage]].
13	* From ''Manga/AirGear'', the character Tomita, the homeroom teacher for the protagonists, drives so poorly that they end up knotted together when they exit. How that's possible, [[NoodleIncident nobody knows]].
14	* ''Anime/AppareRanman'': As soon as Appare gets on the wheel, he turns HotBlooded and his driving makes Kosame scream for his life.
15	* Subverted in ''Manga/AsteroidInLove''. When Mikage mentiones in the twenty-seventh chapter that she is getting a driver's license, Mai and Mira fall silent, as they are having an ImagineSpot about Mikage going this when she drives. Eventually subverted, however, since Mikage drives rather responsibly when she drives the club to Tsukuba in the eleventh episode.
16	* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': Yukari Tanizaki is, hands down, the queen of crazy driving. The "[[TheAllegedCar Yukarimobile]]" is a force to be reckoned with, and far more beat up than any less-than-seven-years-old car has the right to be. Chiyo in particular gets so badly scarred by Yukari's driving that she goes out of her way to ensure that she never has to be one of her passengers ever again. On the plus side, riders of the Yukarimobile report no longer being scared of roller coasters (probably because at least roller coasters, though designed to thrill and frighten, are also designed to be safe).
17	* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'':
18	** Only Isaac Dian could drive a slow moving Model-T in a straight line and accidentally run over ''four people''. Okay, so that first smack against [[ButtMonkey Dallas]] was [[CarFu intentional]], but backing up and ''parking on him'' and his buddies was probably not. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Good thing for that healing factor]].
19	** In the 2001 novel, ''Maiza'' of all people is accused of this by his passengers. Said passengers are immortal, and are therefore not likely to be all that upset about run-of-the-mill crazy driving.
20	* [[{{Meido}} Arianna]] of ''Literature/{{Campione}}'' drives at highway speed on narrow streets, twice that on highways, and seems completely unaware of how close she comes to killing everyone while driving. Despite this, she has never had an accident.
21	* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
22	** 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.
23	** Aldo Yukiko Kudo, Shinichi's mother, serfing her car through the big apple in ''The Golden Apple'' part one.
24	* Hyoma Aoi from ''Anime/CombattlerV''. He is not a lousy driver but a BadassBiker, but he likes having fun ''a bit too much'' as he drives. In his first appearance he caused a traffic accident because he broke the speed limit and several patrol cars were trying to catch him. All of his chasers crashed into each other, but he avoided to crash.
25	* Rosette from ''Manga/ChronoCrusade''. One of the first things she does after we're introduced to her is ''completely'' total her car. In the anime she destroys several. Even the ''mangaka'' doesn't know if she actually has a license.
26	* David from ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners''. While he and Lucy are being chased by the Tyger Claws, David makes the snap decision to buckle up and swerve through oncoming traffic to get away. He makes constant use of his Sandevistan to barely avoid head-on collisions as he drives against the flow of traffic. The car is precariously balancing on two wheels at multiple points and he repeatedly scrapes against other cars and the highway barriers. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by how David never learned to drive and is winging it the whole time with the aid of the car's autopilot.
27	* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'':
28	** Aoi, who forms the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling pairing with series regular [[BookDumb Akane]] and is PromotedToParent to Akane but otherwise a FlatCharacter, gets ADayInTheLimelight in one chapter where she drives in town with Arale in tow. Said chapter starts with her showing how bad her driving is, as her stopping her car ends with said car rolling over.
29	** Arale herself also proves to be a lousy driver. When she gets her driver's license, she offers to take her family for a ride. It doesn't last long because the ride ends with CarMeetsHouse.
30	** This is justified, as Penguin Village, where the series take place, has ''absurdly lax'' qualifying standards for obtaining driver's license, which is illustrated when Taro takes Arale to the local License Bureau to obtain their respective 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.
31	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
32	** Jaco isn't usually reckless when flying his ship, but has a bad habit of getting distracted that can kick in at the worst possible moments. Hence why he somehow managed to miss the fact he was flying into ''the moon'' until the last moment and got stranded on Earth in [[Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman his solo series]].
33	** No matter what vehicle she's in, Bulma will drive it aggressively, often risking to crash into someone-and in fact, that's how she first met Goku, by ''running him over with her car''. Interestingly enough, she grew somewhat less aggressive with age, as shown when she was on Jaco's ship and he made her feel ill by pulling the same manouvers she had pulled the first and only time he let her drive it when she was five... But she's still aggressive enough she crashes her car into Goku ''again'' a few weeks later (this being Goku, the crash ends up hurting her more than it hurts him this time).
34	** Goku himself is no better. Just watch the episode where he and Piccolo try to learn how to drive.
35	** And on that subject, there's also Piccolo's driving instructor. She not only manages to scare Piccolo, who wonders aloud if she even knows what she's doing, but ''encourages'' him to race against Goku over bad terrain.
36	** And finally, we have Chi-Chi, if episode 8 and this ending to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsu6ud6X8uQ GT]] will prove. And she's the one who told Goku to get a license.
37	* ''Anime/EngageKiss'': The delivery driver that gives Shu his package doesn't drive up to the building insomuch as speed directly to it, unwittingly helping to save the day when the truck hits the demon Shu is to capture. Blindsiding everyone except the driver, who is only doing her job.
38	* Not only did Agon of ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' hijack a car, but by using his God-speed impulse reflexes, he knows exactly when and where to make sharp turns to avoid the sane drivers. Did we mention he hijacked an American car?
39	* Haruko from ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' has caused more than her share of accidents -- on a motor scooter, no less. In one episode, she pulls out in front of traffic which causes the entire lane of cars behind her to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FLCLtraffic.jpg spontaneously begin flipping end over end]] (presumably from slamming on the brakes so hard). Her Vespa is also her means of FTLTravel, so obviously she can go at supersonic speed on it through the town. No problem!
40	* ''Manga/Fabricant100'': Luka drives and turns at such high speeds, to Ashibi it looks as if they teleport around the town.
41	* An unrelated Yukari in the manga ''Manga/FamilyCompo'' manages to scare the hell out of her entire family while out practicing for the first time in fifteen years. She'd managed to turn into the wrong lane and drove against traffic for a while. Also has a poor grasp of what speed is appropriate.
42	* ''Literature/FateApocrypha'': Mordred has the same approach to driving as her "father," Arturia (see below). She has the same B rank Riding skill that makes Arturia a BadassBiker in ''Fate/Zero'', but she drives so recklessly that Kairi commented that nothing short of a tank could survive her driving, and indeed the car in question is covered in dents and looks ready to fall apart by the time she finally gets out (by kicking out the driver door, no less). She nearly [[CarFu slams into Astolfo on the battlefield with it]] and he only barely gets out of the way in time.
43	* ''Literature/FateZero'': Irisviel is not as good a driver as she thinks she is. Since Saber can't really be harmed by physical means and is fast enough to save her if there's an accident, both of them get to enjoy going around 65-90 miles an hour through winding terrain at midnight without ever stopping for petty concerns like traffic lights or being on the correct side of the road. Even Saber has a better grasp of traffic laws and car operations than her, and she's a KnightInShiningArmor from the medieval era. Saber also qualifies in that she has the ability to pilot absolutely anything, including a jetliner, and likes taking potholes and coastal roads at upwards of 60 miles per hour. Unlike Iris, she's actually an inhumanly ''good'' driver, which is why she has absolutely no problem with breaking every traffic law in existence (it's not like a car accident can hurt her).
44	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' gives us Roy Mustang, who apparently is in the habit of looking away from the road while talking to his passengers. This is probably one reason why his staff usually drives for him.
45	* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu'':
46	** A female cop who decides to chase Sousuke and Kaname (who are riding on a ''bicycle'') down in her police car. Her car flies off edges of the street, rams into barriers and signs, and she is [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally]] as her partner is panicking. This scene is just a one long ShoutOut to the Natsumi Tsujimoto being [[LateForSchool Late for Work]] in the first ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' OVA. Doubly ironic because there it was only Natsumi who drove that way, but here it is for BOTH parties.
47	** In every instance of Sousuke driving, he's been shown to blatantly ignore rules or almost get into accidents. Most of his driving skills seem to be designed for [[ChaseScene dangerous car chase missions]]. Even riding a ''bicycle'' is crazy when it involves him.
48	* Touko Aozaki from ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' 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.
49	%%* Literature/{{GATE}}'s Rory Mercury, despite being [[PhysicalGod awesome in so many ways it's difficult to remember them all]], just cannot drive worth a damn. [[NoodleIncident Attempts to teach her]] ended in [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure General Hazama]] forbidding her to even get close to anything resembling a steering wheel. Ironically, all other members of [[TheHero Itami's]] BattleHarem quickly become decent, if not ''enthusiastic'' drivers. Well, [[SmartGirl Lelei]] might've become a little ''too'' enthusiastic, approaching the trope from the other side.
50	* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'': Maj. Motoko Kusanagi. Although most of the time she remains at the level of BadassDriver with a CoolCar, the time when she plowed her vehicle straight through the front doors of a hotel and up a flight of stairs before screeching to a halt where the lounge's coffee table used to be, among other incidents, pushes her into this territory. And that's without getting into the fact that she ''dives the 'net while driving''.
51	* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
52	** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Chibodee Crockett]] treats speed limits as optional. His FourGirlEnsemble is divided in opinion about how much fun it is.
53	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Woolf Einnacle]] was a professional racer before joining the Federation forces, and is quite open in demonstrating his skills to young Flit and Emily--whether they want to see or not.
54	** If [[Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry Akira Suga]] asks you if you want a ride with him behind the wheel, you ''decline''. While he only ''just'' got his license, the man is a maniac on the road, to the point where he'll bring touching moments (and the accompanying music) to a screeching halt.
55	** [[Anime/GundamBuildDiversReRise Maiya]] is a CatGirl from a civilisation that arose from the ruins of an ancient war, and all of their technology is dug out from the dirt with them having to learn how to use it on their own. That said, the hover vehicles appear to be quite common considering how much her people rely on them, meaning that her driving skills are more of this trope than lack of formal lessons.
56	* Rally in ''Manga/GunsmithCats''. She's not incompetent, indeed far from it, she's just... enthusiastic. As in does-180-degree-skid-into-parking-space-on-other-side-of-the-road-level enthusiastic. This, combined with her tendency to get into high-speed car chases with dangerous criminals, is the reason she can't get collision insurance anymore.
57	-->'''Rally:''' ''[innocently as she leaves perfectly parked car]'' What's wrong?\
58	'''May:''' ''[staggering out of the passenger seat]'' C-carsick....
59	* A variation in the manga ''Manga/HanaTheFoxGirl''. Aoi the dragon is, like all of his kind, a natural born flyer. However, he has trouble finding the standard dragon work (such as a carriage or messenger for the gods) because he's absolutely terrible at flying. Hana describes it as like a roller coaster they saw on TV "but with waaaaay more spins and turns!"
60	* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'': In season 2, Saeko (their teammate Tanaka's [[CoolBigSis older sister)]] 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 be the cause of Hinata vomiting as soon as he and Kageyama arrive at the gym.
61	* [[BattleButler Arakawa]] in the ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' novels, who also doubles as a taxi driver for The Agency. Played for laughs in the SelfParody ''Haruhi-chan''.
62	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
63	** North Italy terrified Japan once when giving him a car ride. Hence, why Japanese cars are so safety-oriented now.
64	--->'''Japan:''' Is it okay with the traffic laws--EEK?\
65	'''Italy:''' Traffic? [[IsItSomethingYouEat I've never eaten that sort of thing.]]
66	** According to his newest profile, [[HeavySleeper Greece]] gets "[[{{Understatement}} a little faster]]" when he drives. TruthInTelevision since South European drivers are known for this.
67	* ''Literature/HumanityHasDeclined'': The first thing we see Y do is nearly run over "[[NoNameGiven Watashi]]" with her fancy [[SteamPunk steam-powered]] car.
68	* Bunta, Takumi's father from ''Manga/InitialD''. Especially when he calmly pulls out and lights a cigarette in the middle of a drift. When that happens, Takumi's boss looks ''horrified''.
69	* Mario Zucchero from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind''. He drives just fine, but like Mustang above, he tends to look ''away'' from the road while driving (the most mundane yet most idiotic mistake any driver can make). Because of this, Sale had to act as his navigator during their conversation about [[spoiler:Polpo's death and the fortune he left behind]]. Not only that, but he also leaves the car '''while it's in motion!'''
70	* While he seems to be a good driver in the games, Sora is shown to be a hilariously bad pilot for the Gummi Ship in the manga adaptation for the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series.
71	* ''Manga/LoveHina'':
72	** Seta. Never merely parks, instead emerges bloody, battered, and ''oblivious'' from the twisted wreckage of his van. In one particular instance, Seta's car explodes (in the distance), crashes into the stairs Keitaro and Naru were on, rolls down the stairs, ''and explodes again.'' [[DissonantSerenity And Seta gets out, smiling, while his back is on fire and he's bleeding from his forehead.]]
73	** In the manga, when Keitaro [[spoiler:returns from his time overseas,]] he's learned to drive -- ''from Seta''. Predictably enough he takes after his master, right down to parking his van on its roof. The very first place he crashes, unsurprisingly, is smack dab in the middle of the girls' hot spring [[spoiler:interrupting the girls' climactic confrontation with Kanako]]. Their driving styles are so identical that they just assume it's Seta till he steps out of the car.
74	* Yui in ''Anime/LuckyStar''... despite ''working'' as a traffic cop! (She ''was'' obeying the speed limit, despite the stunts she pulled!) Considering the entire first time we see her drive is an ''Initial D'' ShoutOut, that ''is'' saying something. It's also worth noting that despite driving like a maniac, she proves herself to be ''extremely'' skilled in driving, pulling off some truly amazing stunts.
75	* Sei in ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' would be able to give the aforementioned Yukari a run for her money on how she drives. This is even referenced in ''[[VideoGame/{{Maribato}} Maribato!]]'', where Sei appears as a playable character: One of her supers has her driving a car, and attempts to run over her opponent.
76	* Koji Kabuto from ''Anime/MazingerZ''. He is not a bad driver. Oh, no. In fact, when he drives he is the only person on the road who is absolutely safe. He is a BadassBiker who believes traffic regulations are mere suggestions, speed limits are a myth and bikes were made to pull crazy stunts with them.
77	* Hinako from ''Manga/{{Murcielago}}'', to an insane degree. Aside from your standard insane driving, you can also add to the list driving down train tracks to catch a train and ''driving on rooftops'' so she can find Kuroko.
78	* Nurse Youko from ''Anime/MyHime''. Hearing one single, high-pitched, utterly ''terrified'' scream from Midori as Youko drives away should clue you in.
79	* Raikou from ''Manga/NabariNoOu'' takes the wheel on one occasion, telling Yukimi to take a "nice break". [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He manages to drive the car into a river.]]
80	* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'': While taking the cast on a camping trip, Akane offers to take over driving duties so that Akari can relax and knock back a few beers at a rest stop. Unfortunately, Akane is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld an ancient demon]], and while she ''technically'' knows how to drive, her knowledge of automobiles is roughly a century out of date. She resorts to using her telekinesis to move the van. Said van doesn't survive the trip.
81	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
82	** Misato is often thought of this way in {{fanon}}, but this is something of a case of NeverLiveItDown because the first time she did it was deliberate -- she was out to scare Shinji. She also did it at the start of ''Rebuild 2.0'' when the water-skimmer Angel attacked (drifting at high-speed on the overpass).
83	** To a lesser extent, Mari also fits this trope while using Unit 05 (it has wheels instead of legs).
84	* Mihoshi from the ''[[Anime/TenchiMuyo No Need for Tenchi!]]'' manga tried to learn how to drive. It did not go well. [[spoiler:Then she got in a ChaseScene, and all was forgiven, somehow.]]
85	** Noike from the ''Ryo-Oh-Ki'' [=OVAs=] is this squared. The ''promotional'' image of her [[https://69.media.tumblr.com/c9ec2a3c35f087508c9f86e03af50132/tumblr_nbqdl1LhjY1skcniqo2_500.gif driving a family truck]] is full of the household members and farming implements spilling out of it, while Noike stays by the wheel with not a worry in the world.
86	* ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' has Old Geezer, who Becky is lead to believe is the owner of the shiny green ''[=MGB=]'' parked out on the school grounds. Old Geezer tricks her into taking her for a ride with the car, only for Miss Igarashi to come out and ask who just drove off with her car. The following scenes afterward show Old Geezer driving so fast over ''Antarctica'' and nearly hitting a frozen woolly mammoth. [[SpaceIsNoisy Becky's scream could be heard from space]], and she understandably develops a fear of cars.
87	* Misaki in ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'', as evidenced in episode 7.
88	* Everyone who can get their hands on a vehicle in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. 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.
89	-->'''[[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals Episode 2's Officer Jenny]]:''' Sit down, hold on and don't scream!
90	** Sonia seems to take this up a notch with how reckless her driving is. Goh's too scared to even get into her car knowing how bad crazy her driving is.
91	* In episode 119 of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', the main cast (and a one-off character) take part in a kart race for a full-course dinner. The results are exactly as expected as the majority keep crashing and bashing into one-another, causing a complete pile up. The only two not like this? Nabiki and Kasumi, who took their time.
92	* Aria from ''Manga/RisingXRydeen'' whose first meeting with the main character was right after she nearly hit him with her car and her driving has the main character and her tough looking bodyguards vomiting after they reach their destination.
93	* Yuka's mother from ''Puri Puri Chi Chan'' is a very good driver....until she gets to a mountain road.
94	* Exemplified with Straight Cougar of ''Anime/SCryed''. Not only does he drive like a maniac, his "special ability" is to essentially transform the car into the most over-the-top dragster in the world. His crazy driving is more the result of him always pushing his driving abilities to as far as they go than him being a bad driver. He's actually a very talented driver. Nonetheless this often leaves Mimori sick to her stomach, if not puking.
95	* Eudial from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' S. Her preferred way to show up in front of the Victim Of The Week is pulling an epic CarFu. She was so bad that [[spoiler:it was a ''very'' easy thing for Mimete to tamper with her car and get her killed at the end of her mini-arc.]]
96	* Kanbara from ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', as revealed in the manga. Leads to a fun scene with [[TheGlomp Momo clinging to Yumi in fear]] as Kanbara takes turns at full speed while driving the team's van.
97	* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Aki Hinata has a car as well. She is already known as a terror on the mountain roads in the series and is implied to have traversed miles of implausible terrain in a Citroen [=2CV=] in the fourth movie.
98	* Spirits, of ''Manga/{{Shy}}'', the one time she's allowed to drive, drives straight through a giant black crystal, launching the car, and while yelling "Yahoo!" with a big grin on her face, crashes into a storefront. To be fair, she is Russian... and [[VodkaDrunkenski perpetually drunk]].
99	* Subverted by Hiyori in ''Manga/{{Sketchbook}}'', who ''intends'' to demonstrate some wild driving to her students, but forgets to disengage the handbrake, resulting in travel down main roads at approximately ten miles an hour at best. She doesn't even realise why they were going so slowly until the group are on the way back.
100	* The manga of a light novel called ''Slow-life Farmer's Random Skills'' has a character named Maria weaponize this against a rival of the main character by [[MakesSenseInContext plowing into him with a truck.]]
101	* ''Manga/SpaceBrothers'' has Deneil Young who drives like crazy, and also happens to be a pilot instructor who flies like crazy. Most ASCAN candidates try to avoid Deneil Young because nobody can stomach his flying, and ''everybody'' hurls on their first flight with him. Oh, and he also practices using a wheel chair (even though he can walk just fine), and he drives like crazy with that too.
102	** For that matter, there is also Vincent Bold, who always drives extremely quickly because he has an obsession with avoiding wasted time. He also takes pleasure in intimidating ASCAN candidates with his driving (and gauging their reaction).
103	* ''Anime/StrikeWitches'': Shirley is a speed demon who tries to see how far she can jump the car on every hill and the other characters are afraid to ride with her. Later on, she trains Yoshika and Gertrud how to drive and they end up just as bad. The latter even tries driving without a steering wheel at one point.
104	** An InformedAbility of Hartmann's. Yoshika claims she's just as bad as Shirley, but she's never shown to be anything but a good driver. Is also a case of HypocriticalHumor considering how Yoshika drives.
105	* Vash the Stampede from ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' is shown to be a horrendous driver in the manga and movie. [[DependingOnTheWriter Oddly he can drive just fine in the TV anime]].
106	* In the ''Literature/TrinityBlood'' anime, Sister Esther attempts to drive, and nearly gives Abel a heart attack.
107	* Aforementioned chase in the first ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' OVA. Natsumi is really a genius when it comes to [[BadassBiker anything on the two wheels]], but she was [[HeavySleeper really late]] that morning. And she just couldn't drive a car, where she plays this trope dead straight, to the point that her inability to get a four-wheeled license (and she's a ''traffic cop'', dammit) is a major source of comedy in a couple of episodes.
108	** Her partner and [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friend]] Miyuki Kobayakawa, on the other hand, is with the cars what Natsumi is with the bikes, but have a tendency to the LetsGetDangerous situations, and ''loves'' to push the pedal to the metal -- too bad that she has a little chance to do it.
109	* Tomoe from ''Manga/WhisperedWords''. We don't actually see her driving, but afterwards the car looks like it's been in a warzone. And then it [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]].
110	* 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.
111	* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', being able to do this without killing yourself is a prerequisite for a duelist who uses a D-Wheel, which means most duelists in the series; the faster the D-Wheel duelist drives, the more powerful the Speed Spells he can use, and the top speed can be around 140 MPH. In the second season, when D-Wheels become far more popular, Neo Domino (and presumably other major cities) take serious steps towards public safety, restructuring the highways to adapt for D-Wheel duels, and switching to the new "Speed World 2" card with that in mind.
112	** [[Manga/YuGiOh5Ds Its manga]] [[AlternateContinuity counterpart]] 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.
