More than one in five drivers believe that the Government should actively be discouraging the use of private cars. An expert claimed many who own cars "don't want to".

Recent findings have revealed that one in five (21 percent) of those surveyed think owning a car is wasteful and should be discouraged by Governments. The research from Bolt looked into what would trigger British car owners aged between 18 and 39 to move away from owning a private car.

BS... if this was a real 'expert' he'd allow his name to be used. Most likely this 'expert' is the guy working one desk over from the 'journalist' who's pushing this crap. Real sources are named - this isn't a national security issue where an 'expert' might be killed or fired for speaking. I'm calling bullsh*t on this story.

You will own nothing, we will own everything, and you will rent it all from us.

Yes
For years, our family made the trip up California’s Central Valley on Christmas Day, to see family. We shared the road with many old cars, filled with poor families traveling to see their own relatives. It really struck me that having their own vehicles and their own schedule gave them true freedom/autonomy. They could have as wonderful a holiday as anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status. America the beautiful.

They can have my car when they pry the steering wheel out of my cold, dead hands.

“...should be discouraged by Governments...”


This is the scary part. There are all kinds of way governments can ‘discourage’ car ownership. Not allowing parking garages to be built in cities. Britain already has ‘congestion’ fees for cities, you drive in a certain part of London, you have to pay a fee. Raise the fuel tax. Eliminate street parking for bike lanes.

And in the name of safety, require cars to pass rigorous inspections. This is how Japan encourages the sale of new cars. The older a car gets, the tougher and more expensive the inspection costs. The perfectly fine older cars are then exported.

Psyops.

This means that 79% of the people want government to stay out of their automobiles.

If you don’t want a car don’t buy one or sell the one you have and then shut up and ride public transit with the bums drunks thugs and other idiots who don’t think they want a car.

The research from Bolt looked into what would trigger British car owners aged between 18 and 39 to move away from owning a private car.

The Bolt researchers concluded that putting Brit drivers in concentration camps and gas chambers would work well.
