When Augustus first meets Hazel he has control in the relationship. Hazel likes him and he knows it, so he takes advantage of the situation and drives her to his house. Augustus drives the car, despite his crippling condition, metaphorically making him in charge of the situation. Augustus and Hazel bond at his house, and he begins to show how much he likes her, shifting the power balance in their relationship. After they watch the movie and Hazel has to leave, Hazel drives Augustus' car. This is interesting because it shows the way Hazel is now in control of the future of their relationship.

I like it also because, for teenagers, driving is primarily about independence, and unfortunately, about adventure.
