Great Regulars: They imagine that they can control

the vehicle despite insane speed and overtaking on blind corners in the belief that there is nothing coming, because today, of all days, they are "flying". The fate of Icarus becomes a metaphor for all whose conceit persuades them to risk hubris, and forget their human limitations when showing off in an attempt to glorify themselves.
