Two (or more) characters are in a car. Suddenly, we realize that they're being followed, or they pass by something or someone important, or there's a hostile tank right in front of them... something that needs taking care of, right now. So, without warning, the driver tells his passenger to "take the wheel" and does whatever needs doing, often leaping out of the car entirely while the hapless sidekick struggles to keep the vehicle under control. For extra humor value, have the passenger be in the back seat, or have them literally take the wheel. May overlap with High-Speed Hijack. |

Terminator franchise: The Terminator: While Reese and Sarah are being pursued by the Terminator driving a police car, Reese tells Sarah to "Drive!" and crawls out the window to shoot at the Terminator with his shotgun. When the Terminator pursues them on a motorcycle, Kyle orders Sarah to "Change places" so he can throw plastic explosive bombs at it. Terminator 2: Judgment Day: As they're escaping from the T-1000 in the police car, the T-800 Model 101 tells Sarah Connor "Here, drive", then shoots the T-1000's metal arm off. While they're in the pick up truck escaping the T-1000 in the tanker truck, the T-800 tells John to "Drive a minute", then climbs out the back to fight the T-1000. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines: The Terminator instructs John Connor to take the wheel so that he can perform improvised surgery on himself. John holds the wheel while the T-850 carves out his abdomen and removes one of his fusion reactors that was damaged by a plasma attack from the T-X. It explodes spectacularely after he throws it out the window. |

In Once Upon a Spy, Tannehill and Chenault are chasing the mooks who have just kidnapped Dr. Webster and his daughter. Flicking a switch Tannehill reveals a hidden, disassembled gun that she tells Non-Action Guy Chenault to put it together and Pop the Tires. As Chenault struggles to assemble the gun, Tannehill gets frustrated and tells him "Take the wheel!" and leans across in front of him to do it herself. Taken completely by surprise, Chenault struggles to keep control of the car (especially as Tannehill's very shapely ass is pressed into his face), and the car swerves wildly across the road. | |

The Simpsons does it at least once, with Homer leaving Lisa (an 8-year-old, to remind everyone playing at home) to take the wheel for trivial reasons. Note that Lisa was in the back seat. And when a paparazzo was hounding Homer everywhere he goes. In another episode, Homer is driving his car while eating two ice cream cones (one in each hand). Bart is nervously trying to steer the car while sitting in the front passenger seat. During one episode, a car chase between Homer in a motor-home and the trio of Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, and Ron Howard in a jeep (It Makes Sense in Context), Alec pulls this trope on Kim so he can attempt to leap out of the jeep onto the motor-home. When he becomes incapacitated, Kim invokes the trope again with Ron so that she can pull a similar stunt. |

Tested on MythBusters. Simple cooperative driving (driver handling the pedals, passenger steering) went well, but adding in the common movie element of driver shooting someone while the passenger drives landed this in the Busted column — both the shooting and the driving were much worse than in the control. On the other hand, a "take the wheel" where driver and passenger swap places while the car's moving was ruled Plausible, as neither Jamie nor Adam had any problems with the switch. note Granted, the two of them are very close in height, so the driver's seat was already at the right position. | |

In The Cat in the Hat live action movie, the cat and two kids are in the middle of a car chase when not only does the cat literally give one kid the wheel, but also fabricates a new one, so they're driving one car with two separate wheels. And when the second kid objects, he gives her a wheel as well. Needless to say, it doesn't end too well. | |

On The Dukes of Hazzard, Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse were having a car race. As a nod to their old moonshine-running days, both cars were to have 10 jugs of water (in place of actual moonshine) in their trunks. Before the race, Boss had his mooks replace Jesse's water jugs with moonshine - and notified the authorities along the race route that Jesse was making a moonshine run. After the race began, Cooter and Daisy found out about the plot and found the water jugs, and they along with Bo and Luke chase after them. When they catch up to Jesse, Cooter has Daisy "take the wheel" of his tow truck while he climbs in the back, while Luke jumps over to Jesse's car, opens the trunk, dumps out the moonshine jugs, then replaces them with the water jugs Cooter passes to him. Once the switch is completed, Cooter climbs back into the cab of the truck and resumes driving. | |

The James Bond movies do this several times: In Moonraker, Jaws and some mooks are chasing James Bond in a speedboat when Jaws takes the wheel a little too literally. Happens with Bond and Wei Ling in Tomorrow Never Dies. Further complicated by the fact that they are on a motorcycle and handcuffed together. In Licence to Kill, in a diversion to let Bond sneak onto the Wavekrest yacht, Pam Bouvier poses as a harbor pilot and starts pulling the ship into the dock. When the captain anxiously observes how fast she's going, she snaps back "You want to do the driving? Take the wheel!", throws the throttle on full, and sneaks off the bridge in the confusion as it crashes into the pier. In Live and Let Die, Bond's taxi driver is shot by a passing mook, leaving him desperately trying to regain control of the car. |

The Ghost Rider had an incident when he was fighting a thug attacking a circus with a massive earthmover vehicle and he manages to get into the control compartment. As they fight for the controls, the thug sees the vehicle moving towards to some place undesirable and pleads with the demon superhero to give him the wheel. The Rider obliges him by ripping out the entire steering column, but the fainting thug doesn't notice that the Rider was also hitting the brake pedal at the same time to bring the vehicle to a stop. | |

In Speed, police officer Jack Traven commandeers a civilian car to catch up to a bus armed with a bomb, that will detonate if the bus drops below 50 miles per hour, unbeknownst to the occupants. After warning the bus driver about the bomb, Jack breaks off the door to the car and takes the phone of the owner, much to his annoyance, and then has the owner take the wheel so he can board the bus. As Jack jumps off, the driver loses control and crashes into a stack of water barrels. | |

In Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed, when the gang is being chased by the pterodactyl monster, Freddy asks Shaggy to take the wheel of the Mystery Machine while he tries to shoot the monster down. A little while later, Shaggy gets called to the back of the van so he can help Velma, and he leaves the driving to Scooby. To Scooby. Granted, he's pretty intelligent as far as animals go, but he's still not that far up the scale… | |
