Depeche Mode singer David Gahan once crooned that he loved when his girlfriend was behind the wheel of the car, completely in control and likened it to her being in control when they were intimate. Being behind the wheel is as unique to each person as an intimate experience. It's complete control reliant on the driver. The driver is in control, responsible for the destiny, the design and the desire of the journey solely with the wheel in their grasp.
