Driving a car
Psychological (Freud)
Steering a car embodies the degree of control the ego believes it holds over its own path and inner drives. Failing brakes, loss of control, or a stranger at the wheel may betray a repressed sense of helplessness, or a wish to hand the responsibility over to someone else.
Oriental reading
In Oriental understanding, a well-steered car points to reaching one's goals, rising in station, and an orderly path through life. An accident or a vehicle gone out of control, by contrast, warns against haste in a matter that calls for greater deliberation.
