The phenomenon, mostly in action movies or cartoons, where the cars (the ones not being driven by a main character, anyway) never seem to react to anything going on around them. Someone will be having a huge, epic battle on the roof (or sometimes even the HOOD) of the car, but the driver never seems to notice, let alone stop and see what the heck is bouncing around up there. Often the audience never even sees the person driving the car. Or if someone runs/falls/is pushed into traffic. The cars just whiz by without stopping or swerving. At most you'll get a "honk" sound effect put in. Even if they hit someone they just keep on driving. There are a few variations of this trope: Played Straight Robo-Car - The cars on the road are totally unresponsive to any kind of action going on around them. People falling into traffic, having fights on roofs and jumping from car to car elicit no reaction from the drivers. In fact, you never even see into the cars. It's almost like the cars are robots driving themselves. Hit-and-Run - An even more egregious version than the one above. In this case one of the cars actually makes contact with the person in the road, but just keeps on going. No attempt to swerve or slam on the brakes. It can range from a sideswipe with a mirror to a full-on direct hit that sends the unlucky individual tumbling over the car. But does the driver get out and see if they are okay? No, they just keep driving like nothing happened. No attempt is ever made to track down this bad driver, and they are never seen, heard from or mentioned again. I Guess They're Dead - In a bit of a turn of events, now it is the main characters who are ignoring the cars. Their huge fight causes massive explosions and crashes. Deflecting semis with their Nigh Invulnerable bodies. Surely someone must have been killed in the resulting pileup. But we never find out. They aren't the main characters, so what happens to them isn't important. For Comedic Effect Unobservant Driver - Unlike Robo-Car, we actually get to see the driver of the unresponsive vehicle. They are usually distracted by some non-driving task like eating or talking on a cellphone and completely miss the amazing action going on right outside their window. However, this doesn't explain why none of the other cars around them seem to notice. Mommy! Look! - Similar to the one above, except the distracted person has a small child (or barking dog) in the back seat. The child notices the action and desperately tries to get the parent's attention, but the busy parent just tells the child to "keep quiet." When Mom finally does look, it's too late and the action has passed them by, leaving her to scold her child for distracting her while she's on the phone. Examples |

Steve Carrell again gets this treatment in the finale of The 40-Year-Old Virgin when he crashes his bike and flies through a mobile billboard. Nobody but his love interest even gets out to help him, and the other drivers actually start to honk that he hasn't moved out of the road. | |

The Saints Row series is filled with idiotic drivers who either fail to notice danger or overreact to it and plow through anything that gets in front of their bumper. Gat Out of Hell goes one further by featuring demonic ambulances driving around the streets of Hell whose sole preoccupation is flattening as many pedestrians as they can. | |

Robin: Robin and Wildcat have a fight with some carjackers who've stolen an experimental vehicle and stowed it on a semi by jumping across cars and such while the carjackers are driving on a busy freeway and none of the other drivers seem to react. When Robin much later has to fight Riot Act on the freeway the drivers do noticeably react, but mostly because Riot Act tries to hit several of them. Of course, this all happens in Gotham so the public is a bit numb to crazy fights. | |

Satan's Cheerleaders has a Hit and Run. After running the cheerleaders off the road, the Cadillac from Baker High just drives off with stopping (although it is possible this is an effect of the magic Billy used to cause the accident in the first place which would make it a Justified Trope). | |

This can ultimately be to your advantage, since the predictable behavior is, well, predictable. In many Grand Theft Auto games or clones, turning on a police siren will make you more likely to be hit by cars trying to get out of your way. | |

The Mario Kart tracks that involve dodging traffic (Toad's Turnpike, Mushroom Bridge/City, Moonview Highway). Sure, don't dodge the multitude of go karts speeding right through the centre of traffic, the various explosions, etc, but in the latter case, they do dodge the boost pads, regardless if someone else gets run over in the process. Possibly would have thought they'd noticed the bombs on wheels going down the road too... Also, in Super Smash Bros.. several of the courses involve racers completely oblivious to the fight taking place. To be fair, considering the obstacles they usually have to deal with, four fighters trapped on a 2D plane probably doesn't seem too threatening. Justified with the Runaway Five van in Melee's Onett stage, however: They are being chased and can't afford to slow down. |

Egregious example in The Dark Knight: a school bus is backed through the bank doors during the bank robbery. To escape, the Joker gets into the school bus, and escapes the bank by simply slipping his bus into a pre-planned opening in a line of identical school buses driving past the bank as the police arrive. And the same in the armored van chase later. Even the Joker firing a machine gun into traffic doesn't seem to get the attention of those further down the road. |

The traffic in Freedom Force actually swerves and brakes to avoid crashing into obstacles such as rubble, dinosaurs or your heroes. However, it just makes the way the stronger heroes/villains use them as thrown weapons that explode on impact even more horrifying. | |

In Cradle of Fear, Nick's possessed left leg jams itself down on his right foot: jamming the accelerator to the floor, and leaving him no way to press the brake. Nick is forced to swerve his constantly accelerating car through busy London traffic. While crossing an intersection, the car is clipped by a truck going the other way with enough force to throw the car violently off the road and send it crashing down an alley. The truck does not stop, making it the Hit and Run variant. | |

Averted and played straight in Sonic Adventure: In Station Square, traffic will stop for the player character, and they will stop for as long as the player character stands in the way. The roads can get backed up if it takes long enough. (The motorists never honk or display any anger, however.) However, in Speed Highway (both the original one and in Sonic Generations), traffic will NOT stop, swerve, or slow down for the player character, and contact with a moving vehicle will cause damage. | |

In Darker than Black season 2, Hei jumps on top of a car in order to escape an ambush. The driver, superstitious about contractors, decides the best plan is simply to ignore him, and she tells her daughter not to look. It is actually rather amusing. Somewhat later, circumstances conspire to force him to fight someone driving a car from outside of it. Nobody else on the road seems to notice except when the driver swerves. |

A Hit and Run occurs in Mystery Road when a road train clips a dirt bike and keeps going. This is justified in an interview with the trucker and a later flashback: the truck is so high and moving so fast that he wasn't aware he'd hit anything till he found the damage on the truck later. Also the bike was attempting to cut in front of the truck from an unexpected direction. | |

Spider-Man frequently hitches rides on the top of cars. Rarely does the driver notice the sudden extra weight of a fully grown man on their roof. Nor do any of the people driving around him seem to take much notice of that guy on top of the car next to them. Arguably, Spider-Man is such a well-known and respected hero that the people of New York just kind of take it in stride. Alternatively, it's New York (and Marvel New York to boot). Possibly they figure if that's the weirdest thing they see all day, it's a good day. |

Hellboy - When Myers stumbles into traffic, the cars all ignore him. One even nicks him, but just keeps on driving. A few seconds later, another car is coming straight at him, but doesn't make any attempt to avoid hitting him. Hellboy quickly steps in and punches the car out of the way, making this an example of both Hit-and-Run and I Guess They're Dead. Though we do get a brief glimpse of the driver after the car lands, we are left to guess at his state of health. |

Family Guy: Played for laughs in an early episode where Brian points out that Peter isn't a very good driver, and reminds him of his trip to the Southwest. Cut-Away to The Road Runner stopping along a highway, only to get plowed down by Peter. Very much NOT played for laughs in the "Death of Brian" episode, where Brian is killed by an unknown driver while playing street hockey. The driver is never identified. Another episode has Peter attempt to fake being crippled in a hit-and-run by an unknown driver to get a movie deal after a falling out with Joe. This fails after Tom Tucker, to whom Peter took the tape of his "accident," that not only is the person getting hit by the car just a scarecrow dressed in Peter's clothes, Peter is the one driving the car. |

In Botched, a garbage truck causes a fatal car crash and drives on without stopping. | |

An episode of The Sopranos had Tony and Christopher get into an accident that sends their car off the road, turning over and rolling down an embankment. The drivers of the other car are revealed to be two teenage girls named Heidi and Kennedy, who won't stop the car because "I'm on my learner's permit after dark!" | |

Mega Man Legends - Careful when crossing the streets in town. Not even the police cars will stop for you. Averted in Mega Man Battle Network - If you step out into traffic the cars will actually stop for you. |

Also, in Super Smash Bros.. several of the courses involve racers completely oblivious to the fight taking place. To be fair, considering the obstacles they usually have to deal with, four fighters trapped on a 2D plane probably doesn't seem too threatening. Justified with the Runaway Five van in Melee's Onett stage, however: They are being chased and can't afford to slow down. | |
