I like to be able to get where I am going without sitting in traffic for hours on end going nowhere
So say most drivers and when they do end up sitting in 'traffic' they feel others are to blame for the traffic.
Single occupancy cars should be banned,
And according to DfT modeling it's exactly single occupancy cars that a predicted to increase which is why they need more roads #unbuckleingbelttotackleobesity
the biggest culprits are people driving their kids the 1 mile or less to school.
The majority of car trips in the UK are around 2-3 miles. why single out school runners?
I really think that (as we have learned from Stevenage -ask @fox or @skülly ) even if the best ever provision for cycling is created people will drive. Hit their pockets and they may consider not driving

drivingI have to say the walking and cycling provision in Stevo is not really all that. Better than a lot of places, but it's not the best.

I'm not sure 'good' is the right word. As a motorist and a cyclist I don't like to see this division of us and them. As a car driver, when I do drive which is only at the weekends, I like to be able to get where I am going without sitting in traffic for hours on end going nowhere. That helps no one.
It is the complete reliance people seem to have on their cars which needs to be targeted and I don't think making driving more difficult will necessarily put a stop to that. Especially with public transport costs going up each year. Single occupancy cars should be banned, and for me the biggest culprits are people driving their kids the 1 mile or less to school. I thought the whole idea of going to a school was to go to one near you, in your catchement area. So why the fuck are you driving there? That's where I would start anyway
