* A ''[[Doug]]'' cartoon once included a fantasy in which Doug and Skeeter were truck drivers. Skeeter's request to take the wheel ends up with Doug [[Visual Pun|literally giving it to him]].

* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', episode "Game Over for Owlman!": Batman and {{spoiler|the Joker}} pursue Owlman in the Batmobile; Batman starts out driving, but hands over so that he's free to react to Owlman's attacks.

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' does it at least once, with Homer leaving Lisa (an eight year old, to remind everyone playing at home) to take the wheel for trivial reasons. Note that Lisa was in the backseat.

** And when a paparazzo was houdning Homer everywhere he goes.

* In an episode of ''[[The Mask (animation)|The Mask]]'' animated series, Putty Thing tells Fish Guy to take the wheel and goes to attack The Mask- forgetting the fact that, having only fins instead of hands and feet, Fish Guy can't drive.

* In ''[[Regular Show]]'' this is often said by Skips when the characters are being chased by the [[Monster of the Week]], usually when they are driving a golf cart.
