* ''Series/Hunter1984''. In "The Shooter" the motorcycle-riding VillainOfTheWeek goes around killing motorcycle cops, so Hunter disguises himself as one to lure him out. The subsequent chase scene ends when a truck pulls across their path and they both come off their bikes while doing this trope.

* "Film/MadMax". Brutally subverted in the climax of the film, when the [[BadassBiker outlaw biker]] [[BigBad leader]] Toecutter is desperately fleeing at high speed from the titular protagonist and [[OhCrap fails to notice an oncoming semi truck]] [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises until it is too late]]. Unable to even attempt a slide or other evasive maneuver, he collides head on with the truck and is absolutely obliterated.

* Another quasi-example, this time from ''Film/{{Transformers}}''. Captain Lennox grabs an abandoned motorcycle, drives it straight at the Decepticon walking away, and puts it in a slide right through his legs, ''while firing his GrenadeLauncher [[GroinAttack straight into said Decepticon's codpiece]]''.

** A variation in ''Film/DrNo''. Bond is driving a convertible which gives him enough clearance to drive under a mobile crane, while the hearse full of gunmen chasing him swerves to avoid it and drives off a cliff.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* UpToEleven in ''Film/Red2'' when the protagonists are driving a Lotus Exige S with such a low profile they can literally drive sideways under a truck, coming out behind the vehicle that's chasing them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Vivo}}'', Gabi slides under a drawbridge barrier on a ''bicycle'' and then somehow gets back upright without even slowing down.
