Feature
The traffic was unorganized chaos where only the people from Bucharest truly understood the rules of the road. The cars sped through the city streets like lightning bolts, and anyone unfamiliar with the underlying rhythm would surely be obliterated by the impact of oncoming vehicles if they let themselves get in the way. It was a dance, and only those trained since birth were able to achieve driving success in this Transylvanian world where cars truly are the kings of the road.
