In 2011, Reflections (now [[Ubisoft]] Reflections) took another shot at [[Driver|the series]] with ''[[Driver San Francisco]]'', the first game in the series for the [[

* [[Battle in
* [[Car Chase]]: The series' bread and butter.
* [[Car Fu]]: Half the time will be spent [[Destructive Saviour|driving semis into]] [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|oncoming traffic to stop a street race.]]
** In the game's climax [[Big Bad]] Jericho will {{spoiler|throw cars at Tanner}}. Since it's [[All Just a Dream]], [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Tanner can, too.]]
** Team Race being a hard one to win? Just smash the opponents into retirement. To be fair, opponents in these races are (almost) [[Made of Indestructium]] and sometimes even a Haulier might not stop one.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muhgbVLG8Eg BUSSIN] Brutally Unfair Strategy Showcases Ingenuity Nicely. A title that would make the title writer of [[Codename: Kids Next Door|KND]] proud.
* [[Cool Car]]: Tanner's Dodge Challenger in ''San Francisco''. This also applies to some of the 139 other vehicles
** Such as The [[Back to The Future|DeLorean DMC-12]], a [[Bullitt|1970 Ford Mustang Fastback]], [[Smokey and
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Tanner, to the hilt.
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: Throughout ''San Francisco'', the player is aware of Tanner's coma, but Tanner himself isn't.
Line 29:
* [[Joke Character]]: Cars with low stats all around like the AMC Pacer, VW Beetle (especially the old one) and the Camper, as well as the Chevrolet Volt among some others.
* [[Your Mom]]: Tanner to someone during ''It's For Charity''.
{{quote|
Tanner: "[[Double Entendre|Your mom's cash money]]." }}
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Anything that's a Van Dourn, Dykemann, Camion and Caisson would count. Pick ups like Ford F-150/350's also count but to a lesser extent.
Line 36:
* [[New York City Cops]]: Tanner is an NYPD detective.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Several...

Jones: "You been eating moldy waffles again? I told you about cleaning out your fridge."
Tanner: "Hey! We agreed never to mention what happened on 'weird Tuesday' -you promised." }}

Jones: "You're not pregnant again are you?"
Tanner: "Trust me, with this (shifting) thing I got going on, it makes just as much sense." }}
* [[Retro Universe]]: Despite being set in the present day, the game feels ''very'' [[The Seventies|'70s]].
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In-universe example, the reason the events in the game's coma dream match what happens in reality after [[The Reveal]], is because the television in the hospital room was on the news station, subconcioussly feeding Tanner information of what was happening in real life (which can be very subtly heard if you shift and fly up to the maximum height, along with the heartbeat and heartbeat monitor).
* [[Reality Ensues]]: Since the final chase takes place in reality, there's no shifting, boosting or ramming.
* [[Rubber Band AI]]: (?) If a cop falls far enough behind you, it goes into what fans call "doublespeed", [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Two cops, one of them you control, smash over 10,000 dollars worth of fake medication despite not having a warrent to do so, thus becoming vigilante's once they lose their badges. Tanner prefers "freelance crime fighters" better.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The tutorial in the first game is lifted directly from a similar scene in ''The Driver'', where the main character proves his skills to some gangsters in a parking garage. Which was then ported as a special challenge in this game.
