I have a character with a driving gimmick, its very fun at times. Other characters usually drive, but when they forget or a new character is introduced its quite amusing. Equally fun is the Indept: Music, Delusion I am a great musician, Delusion: I have great taste in music. Or Seinfeld's Elaine with Indept/Deluson: Dancing.

Code:
Quirk: Incompetence: Driving
Quirk: Delusion: I drive just fine.
Signature Gear: Car

I've recently commented to my wife that I've got Extra Perception 2 or 3 (Only while driving, -30%), because I can apparently miss out on simple things IRL, but when I'm behind the wheel, I'm doing constant situational awareness checkups and that allows me to drive much more fluidly. Ofcourse, most of my passengers not doing that makes them feel like I'm switching lanes recklessly, which does translate into a quirk-level OPH (Reckless Driver).

You should be doing that anyway, not that most people do. I avoid more collisions by being proactive (watching the people around me, knowing my instant escape route, etc) than I do by going up on two wheels. This, Sir, is having the Driving skill.
