No, the cars never were the problem; it was really me being unable to step on
the brake hard enough.

When I learned to drive, a lot of cars still didn't have motor-assisted brakes;
the driving instructor's car apparently was one of those bastards: All the
power to engage the brakes had to come from your own right leg. And we had a
few particularly steep roads where I lived back then.

To me, it was usually my way of escaping severe dream danger: If things went too
bad, I'd remember being able to fly, and so I'd do it.
