Suburban Driver

The suburban driver is used to having space around them. Space to drive in any one of multiple lanes, space when turning corners, and space to park. When a suburban driver is faced with the downtown core of a major city, they become nervous, agitated and easily offended. There are cars passing on the right, and cutting in, to avoid street-parked cars. There are swarms of pedestrians crossing the road at every turn, and parallel parking only serves to create ulcers and cause other drivers to lean on their horns. The suburban driver is at home on the four-lane highway, in the winding twists and turns of a subdivision or in the ordered chaos of a smart-centre parking lot. Place them in a large metropolitan city centre and let the drama ensue.
