I own a car. I can drive. But, driving 600k to see my parents is one thing. Driving to the shops because you're too lazy to walk is another. Driving to work when there's an adequate public transport system is again another.
It saddens me that 90% of the cars I'm passing on the way into work are occupied by a single person. Don't mind a road trip now and then. Understand cars have a use moving house, etc. But seriously, most of these people don't NEED to use their cars in London. It's this laziness and the unnecessary car journeys we want to get rid of. Will upping the C charge help? The first round appears to have been effective. Up it I say. £100/day minimum. £500 if you drive a 4x4. :)
