Basic Trope: Women do not drive well.
- Straight: Alice is a terrible driver who has no respect for the rules of the road.
- Exaggerated: When Alice is on the road, a state of national emergency is declared.

- Justified: Alice has no experience driving.
- Alice is drunk.
- Inverted: Men are dangerous, reckless drivers while women actually follow the rules of the road.
- Subverted: Bob is terrified of driving with Alice, but it's just his prejudice showing through; she drives perfectly well,
- Double Subverted: ...and as she's gloating about this fact she stops looking at the road, and promptly crashes.
- Parodied: Alice somehow rammed her car into a satellite, thus causing a chain of events that ultimately results in a Zombie Apocalypse.
- Zig Zagged: Male drivers are no better - on average. However, there are a few good male drivers - but the absolute best driver in the world is female.
- Averted: Gender is not a determinant of driving skill.
- Enforced: It's a sitcom playing on gender stereotypes, and this one would be conspicuous by its absence.
