* In ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', a bunch of kids and teens travel to a construction site via monorail. Later, they figure out how to use a fire engine.

* ''VideoGame/BodyHarvest'', a UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} game made by the same developer using the same engine, in which the hero travels through time, stealing cars (if they're not locked) and using them to fight giant alien insects.

* In both versions of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', the protagonists are shown piloting vehicles that high school students and journalists have no business going near. [[TeamMom Maya]] in the first game takes the controls of a blimp and a boat, reasoning that [[LampshadeHanging she has a driver's licence, so she should be fine.]] [[CaptainCrash The blimp crashes (because there's no fuel), and she rams the boat into the walls several times before getting the hang of it.]] In the sequel, she manages to successfully drive a submarine. [[TheHero Tatsuya]] is better about this, and is subtly justified. Rumors become true in the game, and the rumor that Tatsuya is 'good with machines' did actually give him the power to pilot anything... despite the fact that he's not old enough to even drive a car. He pilots a MiniMecha with no troubles, and also flies the blimp better than Maya (he learned his lesson the first time around and stopped her from flying). It gets ridiculous when he hands the controls to [[TheLancer Jun]], who doesn't have any such justification, and is also a high school student. The blimp crashes anyway (again).

---> '''Schlock''' : ''Hmmm... yes. This looks exactly like the cockpit of every other ship I don't know how to fly.''

* Justified in ''Film/TheFifthElement''. At one point, it's explained that Corben's training and experience in his former military unit qualifies him in the operation of a list of vehicles that extends to several pages.

* Razorback from ''Franchise/MarvelComics'' has this as his mutant power. If it moves, he can pilot it. Doesn't explain why he [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing dressed up like a giant warthog]].
** [[IncrediblyLamePun He's a road hog]]
* This actually seems pretty prevalent in the Marvel universe as a whole. It would make sense that people like Captain America and Black Widow would have flight training, but pretty much everybody can fly a plane. Even teenagers. Many people are also [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} great at boats.]]
* Franchise/{{Batman}}. He knows how to drive the [[CoolCar Batmobile]], [[CoolBoat Batboat]], [[CoolBike Batpod]], [[CoolPlane Batplane]], [[BlackHelicopter Batcopter]], and all the [[{{Thememobile}} other assorted thematic vehicles]] he has in darn near every version, up to and including PoweredArmor and [[HumongousMecha mecha]].

* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck in the ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'' has had so many jobs that he's a fully competent driver, sailor, and pilot...at least, that is, when the RuleOfFunny isn't in effect and causes something to set off is HairTriggerTemper. In fact, before the creation of Launchpad [=McQuack=] in the animated universe, Donald was the one that flew/sailed Scrooge to many of his adventure destinations. Individual cases tend to be justified, but combined they reach absurd heights: He was in the marine, so he can sail. He can drive as is to be expected from a middle-class adult. He's been a train enthusiast several times, so he would know a bit about how they work. It's unclear where he learned to pilot a plane (though his sister, in both [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017 the animated series]] and in some comics, is a pilot, so he may have picked up something from her).
