I think it's stupid that we have cars. They're a massive waste of money. They make public spaces less accessible. It's harder for children to play on the street or to walk where you want to go. They've led to high streets becoming more empty as cars go to large out-of-town supermarkets.
Sometimes people die in car crashes, needlessly, leaving families devestated.
People who can't drive are discriminated against. We have to rely on infrequent bus and rail services that are sometimes overpriced.
All the money spent on buying a car, the insurance, MOT, tax, maintenance and repairs, petrol, imagine what that money could do if those cars weren't there. It would give people money to spend on building better buildings, facilities, public transport, social services, healthcare, education.
Cars can be very expensive but I think for a lot of people it's necessary as it allows them to get to work and hospital when needed
At the end of last year I needed hospital treatment and an ambulance got me from the mental health unit I'm in and if cars didn't exist I might have died of blood poisoning because the hospital is 30+ miles away.
They are an expense but they're a useful expense. Plus it beats public transport and for me that's a bonus because public transport is always busy and noisy.
