* The action film, ''Film/HighRisk'', have Creator/JetLi barely escaping the lobby of a hotel filled with enemy mooks, where he then commandeers a van to drive through the lobby's front, running over a few enemies, and briefly stopping and getting out to grab a dead mook's Uzi before gunning down enemies left and right while sending the van crashing into every corner of the lobby. Li ends up driving said van into an elevator that leads to the penthouse, and then continues his vehicular rampage until he ends up jettisoning the vehicle which then flies off the twentieth floor and into the streets.
* Pretty much the point of ''Film/{{Highwaymen}}'', in which a serial killer who uses a 1972 El Dorado as his weapon of choice is pursued by the widower of a past victim. All the action sequences in the movie occur involve the killer's car and the hero's 1968 Barracuda, resulting in some pretty spectacular driving--by the killer in particular, as [[spoiler:he is severely handicapped and can't function outside of the El Dorado.]]

* For video games, the UrExample would have to be the controversial 1976 (yes, you read that right) UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame ''VideoGame/DeathRace'' by Exidy. Apparently inspired by the movie ''Film/DeathRace2000'', the game involved running over human-sounding "gremlins" to turn them into grave markers and thereby score points within a time limit. [[OrSoIHeard Word has it]] that several of the machines were destroyed as a result.

** Greg in ''Series/{{CSI}}'', which led to an internal investigation and a fairly severe beating from the roadkill's cohorts. He did it to stop the group from severely beating up a tourist.
*** Another episode has a terminally ill granny program her GPS so she will crash into the office of the insurance company who won't pay her medical expenses.
** ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' has a non-lethal version with Lindsay using her Avalanche SUV to stop a fleeing suspect in his car. They were in a parking garage, so neither of them were driving extremely fast, and although she dinged up the vehicle, neither she nor the perp were seriously hurt.
