Most people drive cars. Many are competent. A few are exceptionally skilled. And a minuscule fraction can do things behind the wheel that'd make your head spin faster than the driveshaft. These gods among wheelmen are a marvel to behold, with skill, timing, or luck so solid they can start and stop on farthings, drive through your coat closet without scuffing the drywall, pivot in place, or power-slide round entire municipalities. Such beings will often possess Machine Empathy, detecting when something's wrong due to subtle changes in how their vehicle is acting. The natural habitats of the Badass Driver include tracks, car chases, and anywhere where something with wheels is trying to be faster than something else. Often seen behind the wheel of the Cool Car. If they're part of a gang, expect them to be the Getaway Driver. Compare Improbable Piloting Skills and Ace Pilot for the Badass Drivers of the skies and Badass Biker for Badass Drivers on two wheels. See also Drives Like Crazy, which is often either this or its exact opposite. See also Graceful in Their Element for when they're clumsy outside of a car. Female examples can overlap with Action Girls, thus inverting the Women Drivers trope. |

Devil May Cry 5 has Nico, who supports the heroes as both transporter and a mobile shopkeeper. And by mobile, we mean that no matter where Nero calls her, she will show up, even if it means speeding off a ramp or breaching out of concrete floor. She also occasionally runs over demons who get in her way, even saving a muggle this way at least once. | |

Mako Reizei from Girls und Panzer is probably the Patron Saint of Anime badass tank drivers. She is able to drive anything, anywhere, at ridiculous levels of expertise just by reading the owners manual. She tops everything by drifting a 30-ton World War II tank in ways that would make Bunta Fujiwara, above, gape with envy Karina Sakaguchi, driver for the Rabbit Team, deserves mention. Her skill at driving her team's tank in close quarters is instrumental in their defeating not one, but two much heavier and more powerful tanks. The first by circling around corners so fast they get behind their enemy. The second by driving in reverse to escape the enemy tank while simultaneously staying as close as possible to it to avoid being targeted by its gun and getting it to drive itself into a river drainage ditch. As expected from from a Finnish-inspired school, Jatkosota High is the most infamous among all of Sensha-do schools for both its excellent gunners and the insanely skilled drivers. Because their school is poor, the students compensate for their lack of firepower with skills (and some property stealing from other schools) that have been passed down for generations. Because of this, they excel on rough terrains like mountains or swamps. Former vice-commander of Jatkosota, Lili, dodges attacks from Kuromorimine by making her T-28 do a wheelie, something that is lampshaded as borderline miracle as the tank weights 28 tonnes. The current commander's driver, Mikko, makes full use of the BT-42's Christie suspension and already configured the tank for when the treads break. When the wheels on one side are shot, Mikko balances the tank on its one side and keeps driving until her gunner has a clear shot. |

Euro Truck Simulator features the player as an ordinary truck driver, who is encouraged to obey the rules of the road... but as they progress through the game's skill system, they unlock longer and more dangerous routes, until they eventually are hauling perishable, fragile and dangerous cargo across the whole of Europe on strict time limits and in foul weather, making them a Mundane Made Awesome instance of the trope. | |

The various driving instructors of Canada's Worst Driver all qualify as Badass Drivers to varying degrees. They certainly have to be, being their responsibility to educate others on proper technique. Though host Andrew Younghusband is supposed to represent the "average" driver when he demonstrates the various driving challenges on the show, it's obvious he's been improving over the last decade of this show. The show's contestants, on the other hand, not so much. Special mention goes to season 3 contestant Thomas, who went from Drives Like Crazy to Badass Driver by graduating, going on to become a racing driver, and winning his first race. Bad. Ass. | |

Being a manga about illegal street racing, Initial D is stocked full of these. There are three standout examples however The protagonist Takumi Fujiwara is an 18-year old who has been drifting through the dangerous mountain passes of Akina since he was 13. Through rigorous training he has gained a near supernatural ability to control his car to the point that he regularly drifts just centimeters from guardrails in corners while maintaining perfect control of his car. Not only that, Takumi uses a heavily outdated Corolla sports model yet regularly beats opponents with much newer and more powerful cars. He only gets better over time and by the end of the series he can almost literally drive blind by turning off his headlights in the middle of the night to confuse opponents. Takumi's rival Keisuke Takahashi, while initially quite unexperienced, quickly catches up with Takumi and by the end of the series Takumi admits he isn't sure if he'd win if he was going up against Keisuke. Compared to Takumi who uses flashy signature moves and a driving style purely refined for mountain passes, Keisuke utilizes a more traditional circuit racing techniques and more boring, but just as effective techniques combined with supreme tire management and pedal control. Keisuke also has great spatial awareness and at one point he taunts his opponent that blamed him for trying to cause a crash on a tight road where they were running side-by-side that he would have had at least 5cm of space to maneuver. Takumi's dad Bunta Fujiwara is quite possibly the best driver in the whole series. He can four-wheel drift an 80's Corolla Hatchback, with ZERO counter-steer, at insane speeds. While lighting a cigarette. WITH HIS EYES CLOSED. Early in Fourth Stage he also smokes Takumi in his newly-bought Subaru Impreza. |

Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Rita Novelle was not only one of the Holliday Girls, she was also a midget racer during college. When a fixer couldn't pay her to lose races he tried to sabotage her by paying other drivers to run into her, which didn't work until he'd paid the whole field to sabotage their own cars and set them off driver-less in a race. After she survived the collision she tried to show up to race the next day, only being delayed because she was abducted by the fixer she was stymieing and hadn't fought her way free yet. | |

Capheus from Sense8 is a Matatu driver from Nairobi who's learned how to pull of some serious Car Fu. The rest of his Cluster soon learn to call on his skills when they're being chased. In one incident he managed to flip a Smart Car so it landed on its wheels and was able to keep driving for a while afterwards. There's also the time he pulled off a spin-kick with his bus. | |

Katy Chen, introduced in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is also a pretty badass driver. Early in the movie, she discusses the challenges of valet parking, and soon proves that she does have genuine driving chops when she is forced to take over a bus after Shang-Chi's fight with Razor Fist ends up knocking out the driver (granted, she ends up wrecking the bus and nearly every other car on the road, but a lot of that's on Razor Fist). Later in the film, she has to drive the heroes through a hostile bamboo maze, relying on directions from an unintelligible hundun being translated by a washed-up cloudcuckoolander actor - and she succeeds. | |

Whateley Universe: With all the gadgeteers and devisors on campus (both students and faculty), it is no surprise that some specialize in Cool Cars. Perhaps more surprising is that a few are really, really good with them. There is even an auto club on campus, the Gearheads. One of the teachers, Ms. Metal, is known to have several 'speed courses' around campus. Security procedure is to e-mail the tickets to her after the fact, as trying to catch her only encourages her. Another teacher, Mr. Donner, was a minor Super Villain called Hot Rod before he was given a special parole to teach at the school. He's the faculty advisor for the Gearheads club. Among the students, there is Skids, whose mutant powers involve incredible driving skills, and the ability to psychically improve her vehicle, even while she's driving it. Loophole, being a Gadgeteer Genius Wrench Wench of the Southern-fried variety, has the ability to deeply understand machine she touches, including vehicles. She is the premiere member of the Gearheads club, and the terror of the local street racers. Eldritch has a similar Instant Expert talent from her role as an Ultimate Blacksmith (though it appeared even before that; he had previously had the callsign 'Highjacker' because of this). In the few times she's been shown operating a vehicle in combat, has demonstrated some incredible driving and piloting talents, even while in the middle of a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja's titular Dr. McNinja, with a car, a motorcycle, and a private jet in the most recent arc, but this might be a given considering the general craziness of the series. The current story, Army Of One, hand waves it nicely. When Doc needs a Badass Driver to support him, he turns to his receptionist Judy. Who's a gorilla. |

Starting in Jak II: Renegade, Jak became one of these, with Daxter showing at least potential. In Jak X: Combat Racing, everyone who was playable became one of these by default, even Pecker. | |

Grand Theft Auto: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has the characters mercilessly mock your driving. At one point, they tell you to go to driver's ed. And then you do. Harsh. Admittedly, it's an advanced driving school, and those classes teach you how to be an even more badass driver (even in-game, as every 100% earned on a test increases your driving skill by an amount that would take about half an hour – as in real time half hour – of nonstop driving), so that softens the blow. Franklin in Grand Theft Auto V has the special ability to slow down time and greatly improve his handling as a driver. He also starts out with the highest driving stat of the three protagonists. Taliana Martinez from the same game, picked up in a random encounter, is a Badass in Distress when you meet her. She's barely survived a car crash after a heist Gone Horribly Wrong and needs to get to a friend's house. Completing the random encounter will let you unlock her as a driver for the story's heists. Not only can she ace any of the heists you bring her on, she only charges 5% of the heist's cut, making her the best getaway driver in the game. |

In the Turning Red fic Turning Red: Secrets of the Panda, Jason Vaugn shows some pretty good driving skills during the chase from Ottawa to Toronto: He manages to pull a 180 degree drift turn immediately after having to swerve quickly to avoid hitting Mei, and also avoid oncoming traffic while driving in reverse, without even looking behind him. | |

The Fate Series has a whole Class comprised of Badass Drivers, the Rider Class. Various examples of their vehicles include, but aren’t limited to; Pegasi, mammoths, luxury cars, horses, chariots, pirate ships, hippogriffs, dragons, themselves, men, and the Trojan Horse turned into a giant mech. Their riding skills also allow them to handle other vehicles with superhuman skill, from modern vehicles to ancient beasts, with varying degrees of success. To a lesser extent, Sabers usually have a low-ranked riding skill, making them Badass Drivers as well. |

If there's anyone better than Harold "Happy" Hogan in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they can drive cars through time. His Monaco run must be seen to be believed; slaloming against the direction of the incoming race cars at top speed - much of it one-handed because Pepper is desperately trying to get the Mark V uncuffed from his arm. With the key in his pocket. Just for the sake of squee, the top speed of a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé is 155 mph. The average speed of the Monaco Grand Prix is 158 mph. That means he was dodging cars coming at him at a combined speed of OVER 300 MILES PER HOUR. Jon Favreau may have made himself something of a Butt-Monkey in combat, but behind the wheel, he essentially made himself Chuck Yeager. More subtly, he also routinely keeps up during Tony Stark's driving adventures. Stark in a high dollar sports car, Hogan in a luxury sedan. From the dialog, it even sounds like Stark actively tries to lose him. | |

In Batman: Zero Year, Bruce learns to drive under the tutelage of a noxious getaway driver named Don Miguel, who fires a rocket launcher while driving. He once drove his car into an art gallery and stole four million dollars in artwork without ever slowing to under 30 miles per hour. However, since he's a murderer, once Bruce's training is complete, he clocks him and leaves him for the police to arrest. | |

Joker in Mass Effect can do ridiculously awesome things with a spaceship, in this case, the Normandy. Joker is another Non-Action Guy due to his brittle bones medical condition. He is also snarktacular. Anyone who doubts that he fits this trope obviously hasn't seen what he does at the beginning of the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2. Throughout the series, it's shown that Shepard is actually highly skilled at either driving or piloting various forms of ground vehicles and aircraft. Unfortunately this fact is often overlooked since everyone else considers Shepard to be utterly dangerous when they get behind the wheel. |

Everyone in the Mad Max series. No, seriously, everyone. Given that the films are set in a Crapsack World After the End, it's a requirement to survive, so every character from the protagonists to the lowest-level Mooks are badasses behind the wheel of a car.

Red vs. Blue: Grif. Yes, that Grif. Don't believe me? Watch Revelation episode 3. In the S9 flashbacks, Agents Maine, York, and ultimately Tex give Grif a run for his money. It takes a whole Warthog full of balls to catch someone falling off a building in your car, about as much to ram a truck that your buddies are fighting on with said car, but what Tex can do on that motorcycle probably violates laws of physics. |

Disney Adventures: Shortly before its demise, the magazine had a comic strip called Driver 10 about an entire organization of people with the innate ability to expertly control any vehicle at any speed who engaged in superspy adventures. Most of the Drivers had additional powers like Super-Strength or generating electricity to overload machines, but the hero, the titular Driver 10, had only his driving skills. | |

In the X Japan 2010 Rusty Nail PV (the non-anime one), this is subverted - Toshi looks like he's going to take on the role of Badass Driver as he got into the Maserati. Except it's self-driving and puts him in the gridlock of a traffic jam, and Heath, being a Badass Biker in the video as a Call-Back to his predecessor in the band, gets him out of the car and onto his bike to get to their destination. | |

The orks of Warhammer 40,000: Each one is seven feet of Blood Knight, and their vehicles are as tough as they are, being cobbled together from looted vehicles or whatever bits and pieces of metal the mek had lying around (and still working, if not outperforming the original), and drive at breakneck speeds at minimum. There are orks considered batshit insane by other orks known as the Kult of Speed, who tend towards a "brakes are for cowards" mentality. The White Scars Space Marine Chapter are normally associated with being Badass Bikers, but any one of them can make a vehicle dance when behind the wheel. In one episode during the War for Armageddon, several of them hijack an ork airplane and fly it back to safety, despite none of them being trained pilots and ork technology being next to impossible for non-orks to operate. |

Just about every single racer in Future GPX Cyber Formula, but Bleed Kaga in particular. His field racing background explains it a lot, since he uses offensive skills with his car, but he avoids using them unless in extreme situations. Osamu in his Knight Shoemach persona isn't a slouch in the racing fields, either. He drives a very fast red and white car, is nicknamed "The Supersonic Knight" and is regarded in-story to be the best driver of the series (up until the SAGA arc). |

Dino Attack RPG had several characters that fit this sort of character. Among the founding members of Dino Attack Team, Viper - being a former racecar driver - fits the role. It certainly helps that a number of PeabodySam's characters participated in racing championships before the Dino Attack. Heck, two of them are literally father and son sharing the family name of "Race" (King Joseph and Prince Samuel Race). Surprisingly, the elderly pirate Greybeard is another example, having participated in the same racing championship as King Joseph Race. By extension, even though we never get to see them behind the wheel, A5T3R-01D and Sir Robert Batrick also count. Montoya is shown to not really have what it takes as a small-time criminal... until he's put behind the wheel (in a flashback he was shown to be the getaway driver for the failed heist on Dacta Corp., and subsequently had to navigate a freeway while trying to shake off a relentless assassin climbing over his car trying to kill him). |

Players that mastered the beast named X2010 and its successor, X2011 from the Gran Turismo series are this. 1500 HP, design to be exempt of every racing design rule, light as an F1 and turns like an piece of iron running towards a powerful magnet on its left. Cool car, but only properly driven by Badass Drivers. | |

In Artemis Fowl and The Lost Colony, Doodah Day is regarded as a master driver and is capable of driving any vehicle with proficiency, so that he is even recruited for his skills. His pack also contains vehicle specific gadgets such as a nuclear battery to boost a vehicle's power, as well as a portable rear-view mirror. | |

Override and Hot Shot from Transformers: Cybertron are quite proficient. Being a Badass Driver is a requirement to become the planet Velocitron's leader, for the Transformers of Velocitron decide such things by racing. Override is the leader at the start of the series, and in the final episode when she abdicates to captain one of the ancient starships for the Space Bridge project Hot Shot wins the race to determine her successor. A special mention should go to the fact that Hot Shot, unlike the many other Velocitronians who were racing for planet-wide supremacy, did not even know that leadership was the prize for winning the race and he won thinking there was nothing to win. He just likes racing. Oh, and he won in his bulkier, heavily armored Mid-Season Upgrade form! |

Lupin III is often shown in chase scenes escaping from the police, expertly driving and pulling tricks while he does so. Although he's good, it's rather expected of a series that follows a thief as a Villain Protagonist. Why he's impressive is that he translates this skill into other vehicles as well, and as a Formula One Race Car driver. | |

Lolo "The Courier" Endive of Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force, whose second scene involves her effortlessly driving a bulky transport van as a high-speed getaway car, even if it means having to occasionally balance it on two wheels due to taking turns without slowing down. | |

Friday Night Funkin': In Week 4, one of the Dearest family's nameless henchmen drives the car throughout the entire level. Even though it takes place on a busy freeway and Mommy Mearest is standing directly over the windshield, he never crashes the car or even makes a mistake. | |
