This is when someone who is inexperienced in driving cars must, for reasons of the plot, drive a car or boat or plane or... flying alien tank. Often Played for Laughs, and/or with someone in the backseat yelling "Slow down!" or "Eyes on the road!" Someone might also ask the character "Are you sure you can drive this thing?". The ride may or may not end with a car crash (which certainly answers that question). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A subtrope of Drives Like Crazy, this differs in that erratic driving is not a habit (or, usually, enjoyable) for the character. Commonly occurs with Kids Driving Cars. Contrast: Universal Driver's License Examples: |

In Persona 2, Tatsuya is perfectly capable of driving Mini-Mecha, Zeppelins, and submarines, thanks to the power of rumours granting him a Universal Driver's License. However, his brother is not aware of this fact, so when Tatsuya pilots the Mini-Mecha in question, he starts yelling that he only has a "learner's permit" and is not even (officially) qualified to drive a car. | |

Red vs. Blue: Averted in Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction: Agent Washington asks Caboose if he knows how to drive. Much to Wash's confusion, Caboose answers "Yes, but not an automatic, only stick." He manages okay, though. In Red vs. Blue Wall, Simmons steals and attempts to pilot the blue team's Falcon, this ends as disastrously as expected with the resulting crash accidentally destroying the wall Sarge had been attempting to destroy throughout the miniseries. |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom have Nobita's attempts at controlling a giant robot statue brought to life by the Anything Controller, which he uses to combat Dester's mecha in the final battle. But it's a new, never-before used machine, controlled by Nobita, whose attempts at piloting it causes the robot statue to tapdance, perform aerobics, ballet and comically spin around in circles. Nobita still saves the day anyway when his machine accidentally knocks into the legs of Dester's mecha and collapses it. | |

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy wants to drive, even though she failed her driving test. When the adults start behaving like teenagers Joyce lets her drive, and Buffy is far more interested in this than the fact the adults are acting wonky. We quickly find out that there was a good reason she wasn't allowed to drive before, as Snyder lampshades. Anya neglects to mention that she never actually learned how to drive until she's behind the wheel chasing down a rampaging troll. Willow is less than happy to learn this while sitting in the passenger seat. |

In Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Marty has to drive a van while the Penguins are occupied. Alex is adamant he can't because "Only people and penguins can drive!" Marty does so anyway with hooves, and he doesn't really do any worse than the penguins, although that's not saying much. | |

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Dr. Jones Sr. and Jr. find themselves trying to escape from Nazis in a plane Indiana is piloting. Indiana has never successfully landed a plane in his life. Admittedly, it's an improvement over this aversion from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: |

The Second Try: Chapter 2 "Survive" narrates how Shinji and Asuka prepare themselves to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. At one point Asuka insists on driving a car. Shinji points out they don't even know how to drive and asks if she is really sure she wants to drive that car. Asuka replies that it can't be harder than driving a giant robot. Cue hilarious moments: The engine stalls, they drive slowly because Asuka often forgets to change the gears or steps too hard on one of the pedals, and they almost crash into a broken-down car. | |
