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.

This is very true.

The peasant mentality shows itself.

I found this upsetting; but, then I saw that it came from the U.K. I suppose they will try it here; but, I’m not sure Americans are willing to give up their cars, just yet. I surely am not as I am awaiting the delivery of my new car this month. Told hubby we needed to do this now before our Gov (WA State) follows the Gov of CA and denies anyone even the opportunity to buy a new (gas powered) automobile.

The US, however, is a completely different kettle of fish.

Exactly. I sometimes wonder if the rest of the world is aware of just how huge the United States is. I don't think they realize that a personal vehicle is actually pretty much a necessity, unless you are living in a large Urban city with a good public transportation system.

They are used to being able to cross several countries in a couple of hours. I don't think they know that we have states so large that it takes days to traverse them.

Who’s putting a gun to their head ant telling them they must own a car?

Besides, who will drive you to the hospital when the ambulance can’t be there for 12 hours?
