This is correct.  Granted, in rare circumstances you can't move left or
right or go faster;  but you can ALWAYS go slower and get out of the
box.  Most of the time you can stay out of the box by careful
manouvering, and that's what I do all the time.  Once you get used to
it, it becomes second nature so you don't have to think about it.
