- TriviaAt 16:59 as Ollie's wife is driving toward the accident site, the MGM Studio buildings are visible in the background. This location shot as well as the other street scenes are just a block from where the show was produced.
- GoofsThe site of the accident is frequently given as "3rd & Park", but the announcer on the car radio at the end says it occurred at "3rd & Elm".
- Quotes
[opening narration]
Narrator: Portrait of a nervous man: Oliver Pope by name, office manager by profession. A man beset by life's problems: his job, his salary, the competition to get ahead. Obviously, Mr. Pope's mind is not on his driving... Oliver Pope, businessman-turned killer, on a rain-soaked street in the early evening of just another day during just another drive home from the office. The victim, a kid on a bicycle, lying injured, near death. But Mr. Pope hasn't time for the victim, his only concern is for himself. Oliver Pope, hit-and-run driver, just arrived at a crossroad in his life, and he's chosen the wrong turn. The hit occurred in the world he knows, but the run will lead him straight into - the Twilight Zone.

"You Drive" is another great episode of "The Twilight Zone". The story of a car with conscience was used years later in 1983 by Stephen King, in the evil "Christine". Oliver Pope is haunted by his car and forced in the end to do right. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "O Atropelamento" ("The Running Over")
