Read the paragraph. For a kid, it seems like driving a car is the coolest activity ever. However, adults will explain that there are good and bad sides to driving. While it is great to be able to go more places in a car, gas and maintenance can be very expensive. Also, driving a car requires one’s full attention, and there is always the risk of an accident. Adults report that one of the most frustrating things about driving is traffic. My mom says that when she drives home from work each day, the highway is a parking lot. A drive that should only take fifteen minutes can last more than an hour. It makes riding a bike sound a lot better! What is the meaning of the metaphor in the paragraph?
