In traffic, each driver is part of a whole, dependent upon the other’s common sense, a mobile individual figure amongst the wind of exhaust fumes, the breath of the multitude. The only natural way to withdraw from this movement is to manoeuvre into a space designated for this purpose when you reach your destination or interrupt your journey. Sometimes people who have successfully parked a car are filled with an even greater sense of delight than drivers revelling in their high-quality vehicle and its impressive road-handling.”
