* Part of the pilot episode plot of ''[[Shit My Dad Says]]''.
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' features an episode where Sheldon is forced to get his license because Leonard can't drive him around and no one else ''will''. He manages to pass the written test by annoying the DMV clerk past the point of endurance and then attempts to practice via a realistic simulator rigged up by Howard. [[Hilarity Ensues|It does not go well]]. He eventually gets his learner's permit (offscreen) by the next season.
* Partially inverted in the episode "Wheelers and Dealers" of ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]''. Potter is send to traffic school, conducted by Rizzo. Rizzo wants to pass Potter without Potter having to do anything, but Potter wants to play it by the book. After initially failing, he just passes the written test, but still needs to do a driving test. Again, Rizzo wants to pass Potter, but Potter insists doing the test. He gets an accident, but Rizzo passes Potter, because of how well he steered around the danger.
