* [[Raised Byby Wolves|Goku]] does this in one of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'''s later [[Filler]] episodes, while [[Hilarity Ensues|taking his driver's license test]].

* Variation: in ''Go West'', the [[Marx Brothers]] are on a runaway train. Chico yells to Harpo, "Brake! The brake!" [[Literal Minded|So Harpo breaks the brake]].
* In the [[WCW. C. Fields]] film ''The Bank Dick'' (1940), when asked by the thug in the back seat to give him the wheel, Egbert Souse (Fields) matter-of-factly pulled it off the steering column and gave it to him. This sequence paid homage to the Mack Sennett/Keystone Cops and Hal Roach/Our Gang comedies of the 1920s and 1930s. Model T Fords were generally used for these comic chases.
* ''[[Taxi (Filmfilm)|Taxi]]'' (US Remake): Belle has one, but it's so she can change her taxi steering wheel for a professional steering wheel. This also happened in the original.
* In ''[[Moonraker (Film)|Moonraker]]'', Jaws and some mooks are chasing [[James Bond]] in a speedboat when Jaws takes the wheel a little too literally.
* In ''[[Rush Hour]]'', [[Jackie Chan]]'s character removes the wheel from Chris Tucker's character's car after being handcuffed to it.
* 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.
* In the animated ''[[101 Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', Horace and Jasper panic and tear the wheel off their truck when they're about to crash into Cruella.
* Happens in ''Jonah: a [[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]] Movie'': Mr. Asparagus gets his guitar neck caught in the van's steering wheel and wrenches it off trying to get unstuck. Bob is able to plug it back in just in time to swerve to avoid two accidents -- but not before losing all four of their tires to an [[Mama Bear|angry mother porcupine]].
* In ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', Fozzie accidentally pulls the steering wheel off the car when trying to chase down Gonzo, who is [[Balloonacy|floating on a bunch of balloons]].
