There's definitely truth in that. After learning to drive, I found that the sense of vague-but-uninformative flow in the sight of traffic, that ant-like busyness, is gone. Now it all has meanings. Worse, I'm now hypnotized by scenes of cars trying to pass each other in the one-lane driveways below my apartment. A trainwreck of five cars going one way, three the other, and two coming in from the side, might keep me at the window for half an hour.

Well that sounds like a very interesting and complex interaction to watch play out! I find sitting by my window at night and watching the cars go by a near meditative experience, difficult to leave. However I am quite able to think and articulate during that time and find the strange monotony of other lives quite the generative brain food.
