Re: Elephant in the room
Makes you wonder why we're not all being encouraged to walk, cycle, or eBike, instead of buying shiny new cars.
Why indeed.
Interestingly in the Netherlands car ownership runs about the same as the UK. Although they have a healthy cycling habit and some excellent tram networks, they'll say "Well I'm not carrying my weekly shop home from the supermarket".
It's certainly a thing to move towards - cycle more for commutes or local travel, move towards one-car households and halve the traffic. Save the car for transporting shopping & goods.
