    I get what you mean but I find anti car rhetoric way too overdone.

    Given the topic is about health issues there’s going to be a lot of people who have limited mobility so cycling isn’t viable and walking may only be short distances. Therefore a car provides them freedom they need.

      I agree cars are indispensable in certain cases but that shouldn’t detract from the need to reduce journeys by car. In London 1 in 3 schools are close to roads with illegal levels of N02 pollution. Improving air quality is critical to preventing damage to young lungs as well as improving road safety.

        Oh, for sure in London or any other dense area where public transport is abundant, and taxis run 24/7 there is no need for cars.
