This we'll all use taxis argument is a myth. It's built on the assumption that cars just transport people. But our cars also contain the stuff we need when we're out and about. Which may be our work kit ( older daughter carries all her speech and language assessment packs in the boot, for example) and lunch box, our gym equipment ( I used to nip in on the way home from work) or stuff we might need (spare raincoat etc.in case the British weather changes - as it does).
Not to mention all the stuff we take with us and keep in the boot for later. Like errands we need to do on the way home (I'll drop these shirts in to the cleaners...).
And of course we need to keep a supply of supermarket bags in there.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
