You are driving in a car going at a constant speed.
On your left side is a drop off and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.
In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it.
Behind you is a galloping zebra.
Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you .
