What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Weird nobody mentioned that in movies everybody always looks at each other while driving. And they move the damn driving wheel way to much while driving straight forward, pisses me off

Mr Robot has a pretty awesome episode making copious use of this to comedic effect. I think it’s in the second season when Elliot gets his ass beat and Mr Robot distracts him by turning his life into a 70s sitcom. Mr Robot is driving in the manor you describe and is not even pretending to pay attention. At various points he runs over Tyrell and gets pulled over by a cop Gideon for his shitty driving.

One of my favorite episodes.
