1. Walking:

When we walk, the force of friction between our shoes and the road help us moving forward. If there is no friction between the two, we may slip or fall down.

2. Driving:

The force of friction between tires and road allow vehicle to move smoothly, applying break and accelerate. If there is no friction, car could not accelerate on the road.

3. Take off:

The taking off of a flight on runway is good example of friction. Friction force allow to reducing speed and stopping the plane movement.
