Line 6:
An easy trope for a director to use to show incompetence starting a vehicle, because the camera is usually looking through the windshield at the driver already. The windshield wipers are more visual than the driver accidentally starting the radio or the A/C.
If there is some threat involved, this is also a case of [[My Car Hates Me]]. If it's the faulty wiring of the car that caused this to happen, rather than the incompetence of the driver, it's a [[DIY Disaster]]. For more comedic driver incompetence, see [[Had the Silly Thing In Reverse]]. A new gun user committing [[Reckless Gun Usage]] gives the same demonstration of a character having no idea what they're doing, but for guns.
