its not a matter of wether you drive a Volvo, it is how you drive it, drive
like a normal person (stay within your lane unless changing lanes and
maintain a constant speed with regards the traffic around you, merging into
a 110kmh zone at over 20kmh and looking before changing lanes) other drivers
will treat you with respect even if you do drive a Volvo :-)
