Tense movie scenes - afraid of being pulled over by police.
Hello all.
I am trying to find scenes from movies in which a character or characters are driving and afraid of being pulled over by the police. Perhaps they have something in the trunk that they know will get them in trouble. I know that it is a well used trope but the only one I can think of is the scene in Goodfellas when Henry is paranoid that a helicopter is tracking him. Any thoughts gratefully received. Thanks in advance! |

You shot Marvin scene and following drive to the car crusher scene in Pulp Fiction.
At the beginning of Baby Driver, they come across a cop car going the other way and they slow down the car and look straight ahead. |
First thought is Psycho.
I'll post others as I think of them. |

Many thanks for those. I know that there must be hundreds of them. I am keen to get as many variations a possible.

"One More Mile to Go" episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents (body in the trunk):
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0508222/ "Talladega Nights" -- hilarious scene where Will Ferrell has been told there are drugs hidden in his car |
Great. Thank you.

I'll stream the Hitchcock episode to check that one out. The Talladega Nights examples is more of a chase. Drive has moments at the beginning that are what I am looking for - the tense, don't want to get stopped scene.

I suppose I am hoping to find an extended tense scene in which a character is afraid of getting stopped.

The end of Lynch's 'Lost Highway' is what you need.

Thank you ScarletLion. It is much more of a chase than a tense sequence though.Good to see it again though! I had forgotten the 'breakdown' within it. I am looking for a scene in which the driver is keen to keep within the speed limit etc for fear of being stopped by police.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Open to more but I think the thread has been labelled as 'answered'.
